Karen shares two stories of where her confidence started back when she was 18 years old. It involves Mary Kay cosmetics and Arthur Murray dance studio. 

Three highlights in this solo episode:

1. You have to trick your brain (tune in for what anxious reappraisal is and how to leverage it for YOUR confidence!)
2. Be kind to yourself. It takes time to change habits
3. Feel the fear and do it anyway!

My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: 

https://karenlaos.com/book/

Most people aren’t ready when asked to introduce themselves. The one thing we should be ready to talk about is ourselves! Use Karen’s PPU method to be memorable and give structure to your message so you can stand out. In meetings, learn sentence prompts on exactly what to say when you want to interject. She talks about empathy and acknowledgement as a way to do that. Lastly, sometimes it’s hard to deal with difficult audience members. What are the words you could use to diffuse and deflect, and still get your point across.

My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: 

https://karenlaos.com/book/

Highlights:

• After battling with illness for so many years and conquering it, Catherine asks herself: why am I here? She realized that illness can also manifest itself in your outlook on life, so one day she made the decision to put the illness aside and instead begin to be well, to think well, and to live well.
• Humans are born to create and creating can be immensely healing. Catherine reminds us that everyone can create, both physically and mentally, and also that you can create from a lot of different, amazing places. If you don’t feel like you’re in a place of inspiration, create that place for yourself!
• You can’t truly connect to others unless you’re connected to yourself. When it comes to confidence, it's all about what you believe, and you must believe in your own abilities. How do you begin to do this? Become a kid all over again and do the things that bring you joy! When you do the things that make you feel alive and light up inside, you become grounded. This is how you achieve confidence and connectivity with others, and most importantly, with yourself. 

About Catherine:

I’m Catherine Grace O’Connell, an Ageism Positivist, An Empowerment Catalyst, the Founder of The Forever Fierce Revolution, a global Facebook Community dedicated to supporting and celebrating the Modern Midlife Woman, and the CEO of Forever Fierce Media, a female-focused message based digital media agency.

Four years ago, my life looked vastly different. I was a woman who almost lost her life to late stage Lyme Disease, disempowered from decades of trauma and abuse. I had no self-esteem, no passion, no purpose, and no future.

What changed?

I changed! My beliefs changed and my life began to dramatically transform. I let go of who I was told to be in order to become the woman I had always desired to be.

I’ve been on a deeply spiritual path for over 25 years. I have my Masters in Spiritual Psychology and a PhD from the University of Rise Like A Phoenix. I’m an energy worker trained in many different modalities. I’ve studied with some of the top spiritual teachers, mystics, and mentors who empowered me to understand true transformation happens from within. I didn’t have a Tribe so I created one! I found my Voice and have no inhibitions to using it. 

Our attitudes, beliefs, energy, patterns, and behaviors in the present determine our future. What we think and believe directly affects how we age. Through my life experience, I’ve become an expert at Mastering Modern Midlife and it’s my passion to share what I’ve learned with others.

My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: 

https://karenlaos.com/book/

Highlights:

• How do you overcome cultural norms that expect you to stay silent? Like many of us, Yon faced this question growing up amid two different cultures: one where you don’t share your opinion unless you’re asked to and another where speaking up and sharing your ideas is highly valued. Yon constantly challenged herself to speak up while balancing cultural peace.
• When trying to influence others, one of the best things to do is to put your ego aside and focus more on the message you’re providing to the group. Wondering about what others think of you and how you’re coming across takes away from the actual message you’re trying to send.
• If Yon could speak to her younger self, she would tell her to not second guess herself. You can begin to accomplish this by being aware of your personal values and feeling connected and grounded to these values. When you trust yourself, you’ll always make the right decision.

About Yon:

Yon Na, Ph.D. is a researcher, consultant, and professor. As an organizational effectiveness consultant, she helps companies enhance performance and employee engagement by applying a scholar-practitioner approach. She specializes in incorporating research, theory, and decades of experience in corporate America to develop solutions.

Yon's 20-year corporate career spans leadership development and organization effectiveness in high-growth companies, including Warner Bros., The New York Times, Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, and Nordstrom.

In 2019, Yon founded Radiance HQ, an organization dedicated to the advancement of Asian women in the workplace. Yon developed the Radiance Leadership Development Program, which combines her research on Asian identity, organizational psychology, and her experience working in Fortune 100 companies.

Yon earned a Ph.D. in Organizational Psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University. Her dissertation study focused on the experiences of Asian immigrant women and their journeys into corporate leadership.

My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: 

https://karenlaos.com/book/

When reflecting on her past, Patricia acknowledges that for the first two years of her consulting career, the desire to always come across the right way and to say the right things actually constrained her from contributing to conversations as much as she would have liked. 

Patricia believes that this habit of biting her tongue stemmed from the fear of rejection, but once she was able to overcome this fear, she has learned to be more of a risk-taker. 

Ultimately, opening up more opportunities for herself. Patricia is also an advocate for self-awareness and self-knowledge. By being aware that she’s an introvert, Patricia has been able to organize her schedule in a way that’s optimal for her personality. 

Five years ago, she left her corporate job to become the founder of Silver Lining Psychology where she teaches businesses how to use the science of positive psychology to achieve greater outcomes. Fun fact: she had two wedding ceremonies!

About Patricia: 

Patricia Thompson is an award-winning corporate psychologist, executive coach, and speaker who has been featured in the Harvard Business Review, Forbes, Fast Company, Inc., and many other sites. For almost 15 years, she has advised CEOs and senior leaders to achieve greater success. Five years ago, she left her corporate job to become the founder of Silver Lining Psychology, to teach businesses how to use the science of positive psychology to achieve greater outcomes.  Her online courses on emotional intelligence, mindfulness, and leadership have been taken by over 13,000 students in 136 countries.

Listen as we exchange stories from being raised in the midwest around conflict. Jenn shares a little about the Enneagram and three conflict styles to notice. We talk about the importance of vulnerability and how that affects culture and how everything comes back to what the real problem is.

Listen to her story about a moment during a speaking engagement when she realized she's really able to help people.

About Jenn:

Jenn Whitmer helps teams and leaders solve conflict and personality clashes. She speaks, writes, and coaches about hard topics with infectious joy. Through working with Jenn, people improve communication, work through conflict, and build self-awareness with the Enneagram.

My book “Trust Your Own Voice”: 

https://karenlaos.com/book/

Learn from this doctor turned anti-diet wellness expert! There's a social system that's been created that's pressured us to want to get smaller. It's defined us and has played into the guilt and doubt we feel as women about our bodies. "I should be this, I should be that". Toss out the narrative of societal expectations and shame and give yourself permission to  just BE. When we let that go we can  actually free up the mental space to allow our bodies to do what they were meant to do: function properly.

About Maggie:

Maggie Landes is a board-certified physician, public health nutritionist, and anti-diet wellness expert. She created her signature getEATfluenced® coaching program to help women who are exasperated with chronic dieting, be able to fix their food overwhelm and live a full and unrestricted life pursuing their personal passions without the distraction of rigid eating behavior.  She is also the creator and host of “The Eatfluencer Podcast” where she and her guests dig into the mindset work required to construct a healthy, complete, and high-quality life unlimited by the oppression of diet culture.

Maggie’s overt passion to teach about eating, and its relationship to complete health came not from her extensive didactic training, but from the blank space at the intersection of those things.

After decades of subscribing to diet culture, both personally and professionally, a personal battle with cancer at the age of 40 caused her to reframe her perspective, and she now practices and teaches others that the wisdom of the human body and the power of positive thinking are the gateway to healing our relationship with food.

Maggie believes that every woman is influential and worthy, and by empowering ourselves to have confidence and control of our thinking and leaving behind our obsession with dieting, we can show that value to the world.

All of her personal coaching and programs support the Health at Every Size philosophy, the framework of Intuitive Eating, and a weight-inclusive, body neutral approach to health and wellness.
