Confidence From Within

Episode 30. Are you a Super-Woman? - I have a question for you! Are you a Super-Woman? The term superwoman syndrome was first coined in 1984 by Marjorie Hansen Shaevitz, referring to women who neglect themselves and strive to achieve perfection in every role they are fulfilling. Take a moment to reflect about this! Do you relate? I completely relate with it myself. I consider myself a recovering Super-Woman, and even more so, I have added a hyphen in there because I like to think of the term as a super woman rather than a Superwoman, who would be someone that is always pushing the body, striving to do things for other people without ever filling their own cup! The goal of this episode is to bring awareness but also some tips and actionable steps to start shifting the needle of the stress scale and consequently helping you achieve weight release!

Episode 28. Escape The Comparison Trap - In this episode, we talk about comparison and my strategy for exiting or escaping the comparison trap. If you've been in your weight loss journey for a while now, you've likely compared yourself to someone else, or something else outside of you, either in recent times, or in the past. For example, you may have compared your progress to somebody else’s, or may have compared the number on the scale to a previous version of yourself and felt discouraged about your progress or about your choices. If you fallen for the comparison trap, this episode is perfect for you!

Episode 22. Using Goal Setting To Find Your Confidence - In today's episode, we're going to be talking about goal setting. We are at the beginning of January, 2021 and for me, this has always been a very important time for setting goals for the year and defining what I would like to accomplish in the year to come. Over the years, my goal setting process has dramatically changed from before, when I used to write laundry lists of fantasies that never got accomplished, to something a lot more realistic, doable and concrete that I use not just for myself, but also in my work helping women release excess weight. But today, I bring up perspective on goal setting, specifically as it relates to confidence. Learn more and get show notes and transcripts by visiting www.confidencefromwithin.ca
