We are here this week talking about how to reclaim your confidence after you have slipped into jealousy. While this may not be a dramatic issue, it happens frequently and is worth discussing. We emphasize the importance of allowing jealousy to arise and serve its purpose, while committing to personal growth in relation to jealousy. It’s a process of continually facing discomfort, building skills to navigate difficult emotions, prioritizing showing up, and collaborating instead of retreating.    We want you to remember that jealousy is about oneself, not about others. So show up, invest in relationships, and work towards your own personal growth in order to capture your confidence.   Connect with Whitney & Stephanie: [email protected]   Stephanie IG: @stephanie_hanna_  The Other 85: https://theother85.net/  Whitney IG: @whitneyabraham  Whitney Website: https://www.whitneyabraham.com/

Let’s talk about the relationship between mindset and skill set and how, in particular circumstances, the skill set itself can lessen the need for mindset work.

• The relationship between mindset and action
• Overcoming the mental barrier of fear
• How to increase exposure to difficulty
• The power of mirroring and modeling your own self-talk

For many women in their 30s and 40s, the “good girl” persona we were raised to embody actually weakens our ability to trust ourselves.

• The problem with reassuring ourselves that everything is okay
• The foundation of competence is self-trust
• What are we going to do about it?
• The process of speaking to yourself
• The problem with positive self-talk
