Capture Your Confidence

In today’s episode we are talking about the things that are so yesterday, the things that we are absolutely positively committing to leaving behind, we're recognizing that they're not serving us any longer. And we think maybe just maybe you guys could use the reminder! This is all about realizing that as you go further in your personal and professional growth there are values you no longer align with - and hey that’s totally fine, that’s what the confidence journey is all about.    We talk about the scarcity mindset, letting go of the “I should” mentality, and holding onto tasks out of obligation and not joy.    In this episode, we cover:

• Let go of the scarcity mindset [1:31]
• The whole “you should” mindset is so last year [3:54]
• Continuing to do things just because we’ve always done it [5:52]
• Giving up things that no longer align with our values [7:51]
• No more gossip girl [9:48]

Diet culture is that collection of social expectations that dictates our self-worth with the way our body looks. In doing so it tells us what to do, what to eat, and how to look in order to feel worthy, accepted, and validated. All in all, diet culture sucks but unfortunately a lot of women are stuck in this cycle of hating their bodies and practicing restrictive eating patterns because they think it’s something they need to do.    In today’s episode we are talking to our good friend Simi Botic an intuitive eating counselor, and health coach who has literally helped hundreds of women break up with diet culture   During our conversation, Simi talks about making the transition from being a corporate healthcare attorney and struggling with disordered eating patterns. She shares why confidence means trust, why she tries to be a model of confidence and compassion for her clients, and why diet culture is rooted in a lot of systemic oppression.   In this episode, we cover:

• Simi shares more about her own experience with restrictive eating and her own work
• Tapping into your confidence to combat diet culture through trust and self-compassion
• Quick fixes don’t work: why confidence comes from the inside
• Misleading messages that damage women’s confidence
• How motherhood has changed the way Simi views confidence
• The legacy Simi hopes to leave

Women are doing it all, whether it’s running a business, being a CEO, raising a family or showing up in all the different hats we wear across time and space.

Regan knows everything about confidence, courage, and feeling the fear but doing it anyway.    During our conversation Regan talks about why her gut instinct is the best tool she could ever have. She shares why the best way to face fear is to ask what’s the worst that’s going to happen and then follow it up with “and then what,” how confidence and courage have played a role in her own life and how to form your own community.    In this episode, we cover:
