What does a confident and hopeful self mean to you?

As a primary teacher, chaplain and life coach, Jessica Rowlands has spent much of her life observing people, none of whom are ordinary. Listening to them, seeing them and attempting to truly understand and accept them for who they are including all the not so good bits as well as the good bits, Jessica has observed that this brings safety in relationships, hope and therefore growth and connection. Also, knowing that she is not on her own in her introversion, shyness and her anxiety, changes her reality, her outlook and attitude to life. It is ok to be herself, and for you to be you. The conversation in this episode covers a range of topics centering around the 'confident, hopeful self' and the journey to realising and accepting that it only takes one person to be interested, you in them and they in you, and suddenly you are no longer by yourself; you can begin to grow and flourish....and be your confident and hopeful self.
