#17: Welcome back! I'm back with another solo episode to talk you through a topic I've become very passionate about: how to have more confidence! You'll learn all about my history as someone who used to have very low self esteem, to becoming someone that I can happily say has a lot of confidence. BUT FIRST! I'm giving you some life updates and of course some associated life lessons. I'm telling you how playing many many gigs in Cleveland last week taught me to embrace and enjoy the mundane (because when your once dreams become your reality, you risk losing your appreciation for them!) and what I've learned on my tik tok journey. I've also got some brand new, hot-off-the-press FIRE recs for you. I'm giving you lots of advice about how I live my life confidently by acting like I've been there before, eliminating things that promote self consciousness from my life, and becoming so clear on my purpose that confidence becomes a by product. I hope you LOVE this episode. I hope you listen, hope you laugh, and hope you learn <3
