Please remember to review the podcast 🙂

Andrew Fitzgerald shares his story of courage about taking a leap of faith. He overcomes fears and takes courageous action with confidence. He has listened to the Courageous Self-Confidence podcast for years and still finds inspiration from it.

Born and raised to in County Cork, Ireland, Andrew dreamed of living in America to pursue his amateur pro golf dreams. He’s in his mid-forties, married with a new son, Alfie. His family still lives back in Ireland. He started playing soccer and golf at an early age, but shifted his focus to golf and hasn’t looked back He’s won All-Ireland medals (1 gold , 2 silver, and 1 bronze).

Andrew works as a full-time career professional in the consumer packaged goods industry. He absolutely loves helping customers hit their goals and objectives.

Timeline of Andrew’s shared story 2010:

Andrew travelled to San Diego, California (USA) and fell in love with the place. He set a dream that one day he would move there.

2012:

He did it. He moved to USA. Though physically organized, he wasn’t emotionally organized. In “the States”, he fulfilled a life-long dream by pushing himself through all kinds of mental barriers and entering PGA Tour School. According to him, it was the best week of his golf life.

A few short months later, with feelings of home sickness, he gave up on his planned future in America and moved back to Ireland.

Three weeks later, he realized what a mistake he had made to abandon his San Diego permanency plans. He knew he would regret it in old age so, he moved back and has (as he puts it) “flourished” since.

2015:

Andrew discovered the Courageous Self-Confidence podcast and found it to be a “shot in the arm” to his own self-confidence. He’s kept it in his personal playlist to help reinforce following his dreams and taking more leaps of faith in the future.

How to contact the host, Samuel Hatton

Today’s guest is Aubree Nichols. She is a positive light and huge advocate of self-love. She is a writer for The Week, Elite Daily, and the Observer as well as speaker and consultant. She helps individuals and executive teams in igniting passion and a deep sense of purpose. Our interview starts with Aubree and I bantering a bit about some of the things we have been experiencing on a global level. If you heard the last few episodes on grief. In episodes 81 thru 83 we talked about the five stages of grief – the final stage being acceptance, but what about accepting ourselves fully.

In regards to these interview episodes called Stories of Courage, I invite guests on the show, and we dig into their story a bit, specifically highlighting personal transformations and moments of breakthrough. I believe that the greatest strides in increased lasting self-confidence is in these breakthroughs. And that is because personal transformation has more to do with a returning of your true self. Sure you need to all the relational and societal fundamentals to really jive and have success with others, but it’s the embracing of your true self that really helps to build self-confidence. And today’s topic is largely on self-love – the ultimate level of self acceptance.

In this episode

• How to cut through self judgement and accept yourself wholly
• How personal transformation is amplified by a body, heart, and mind connection
• Using personal affirmations for positive change
