Radio Ronin

In this weeks podcast Coach Bu talks to Brandon Helmick, a father who truly stepped up the the plate at a moments notice. Brandon speaks about parenting out of inconvenience and following a soical media post, recieved support and understanding for around the world. Brandon wrote,  "This kid saved my life! Here I am 4 years clean from crack and heroin. I was an active user who lived in my car. Got a call one day that a woman gave birth to a son and left him at the hospital and I was the alleged father. She was also an addict so he was born addicted to heroin. I went to see him at the hospital and I just knew he was mine and he was all alone. I got to hold him. While I was holding him the nurse said he was starting to withdrawal and it was time for his morphine. That moment changed my life because for once I wasn’t just hurting myself I was hurting an innocent child who depended on me. Long story short I got clean, did what I had to with children services and got full custody. Here is us now and I thank God. This kid saved my life.” Thank you for sharing your inspirational story Brandon Helmick.

In this week's episode, Coach Blu talks about Self-confidence. Learn what self-confidence means; trusting in your own judgment, capacities, and abilities. It's about valuing yourself and feeling worthy, regardless of any imperfections or what others may believe about you. Self-efficacy and self-esteem are often used interchangeably with self-confidence. But they are subtly different. Self-confidence is vital in almost every aspect of our lives, yet many people struggle to find it. Sadly, this can become a vicious cycle: people who lack self-confidence are less likely to achieve the success that could give them more confidence.
