In this podcast I talk about the 'but, the 'trying' and the unnecessary disclaimers we use when we talk about ourselves and our work.   For the record, it's fine to say you are self-taught, if you are saying this in a positive sense, and one that is being celebrated. Being self-taught is an incredible achievement. But, when we use this as a disclaimer, because we are feeling doubt or worry over our 'credibility' then don't do it.   From today, be mindful of the words you use and fill your words with confidence, even if you don't feel it.    Much love,  Michelle x.
