Chapter 2: What questions about confidence are answered in this episode?

2.086 - 40.17 Kim

It's Kim and my co-host, Grandma Gail. You might be able to tell we are outside in Palm beach right now. Grandma and I love to take walks together. So today we're going to walk on the lake trail and we're going to answer some of the questions you guys wrote in on Instagram, all about confidence and going into new experiences, whether it's a job or a relationship.

40.611 - 42.373 Kim

And we're going to give our advice.

0

42.353 - 47.325 Grandma Gail

Okay, Kim, we're ready. My hair's not going to be so good, but we're going to be walking and talking.

0

47.345 - 55.002 Kim

It is pretty windy. And we're going to need some confidence ourselves today because we have our own speaking engagement down here at Play for Pink.

0

55.363 - 59.433 Grandma Gail

At one of the local clubs down here to raise awareness about breast cancer.

59.754 - 67.353 Kim

Yep. And I feel like going into a speaking engagement, some people get nervous. Some people want to really boost their confidence. How are you feeling?

67.554 - 74.363 Grandma Gail

Well, I'm, I'm always confident. I'm pretty chill about it too, but they're all wonderful people and it's a great cause. So we'll be good.

74.563 - 83.875 Kim

We also asked you guys what your favorite part of the podcast was. And a lot of people said the ask grandma anything segment. So today we'll just be answering questions and that is all.

84.176 - 85.978 Grandma Gail

Oh my gosh. A lot of pressure.

Chapter 3: How can I find my personal style on a budget?

396.627 - 414.152 Kim

The more you put yourself out there, even if it's awkward in the moment, I feel like the payoff always feels really good after. So thinking about that afterward, like whether you're going to be happy you made some new connections for work or that you had a social night instead of sitting by yourself on the couch, like it always feels better after.

414.212 - 430.414 Kim

And if for some reason it was like the most awkward thing ever, go home and do something after that you really like to do. Like, I don't know, order in really good food. Yeah, watch TV. Yeah. OK, we're popping a squat to take a little walking break. When you take walks, though, for exercise, how often are you walking?

0

430.951 - 442.688 Grandma Gail

I'm walking. I mean, how far? Not that far. A few blocks. Between appointments. No, I like to walk in the city because I sort of wander, but it's not at the same pace that you and I are walking now.

0

442.888 - 444.25 Kim

Okay, we can walk a little slower.

0

444.27 - 446.573 Grandma Gail

I sort of lounge while I'm walking.

446.593 - 454.805 Kim

Right, and you take phone calls, and then you stop in the middle of the phone call. You're definitely the kind of person who can't multitask when you're on a phone call. You have to stop and chat.

454.825 - 455.666 Grandma Gail

I have to concentrate.

455.826 - 461.657 Kim

Versus... Yeah, I feel like I like to do it on the go and like two birds, one stone kind of thing.

461.697 - 463.922 Grandma Gail

Next question, Kim.

Chapter 4: What strategies help overcome the fear of meeting new people?

1082.513 - 1084.416 Grandma Gail

And just look forward to something new.

0

1084.636 - 1100.038 Kim

Yeah. And also if you do break up, like just because you miss them, it doesn't mean that it was a wrong decision. It just obviously after any change, breakup, whatever, it's hard. But then I think it will be the right decision if it's something you even thought about doing in the first place. Correct.

In a relationship that's very healthy and a lot of love, but very different lifestyles, is it a bad idea?

0

1106.007 - 1120.315 Grandma Gail

Yes. I think to be in a relationship that really is going to be a permanent relationship, you have to have some things that you either enjoy doing together or that you have a focus on where your future is going to be.

1120.902 - 1142.725 Kim

Thank you guys for listening and walking with us, maybe. Or just watching us take a little walk around Palm Beach. People are always curious about the life here. So you got to see the lake walk. And we can do another neighborhood next time if you would like. Leave us comments. Send me a DM. We're at ExcuseMyGrandma. My personal is Kim Merstein. Bye, everyone. Have a good day.
