Have you ever felt on the outside because of your life choices? I have, and I'm here to share my journey towards self-love and confidence. We live in a society where we're constantly told that we're not enough, but I promise you, it's time to break free from these shackles.

You can do it even if you're on a tight budget or running low on energy. We'll also be exploring the correlation between self-love and a happier life.

Ever battled with body image issues? Wondered how to support your children's body image in a world teeming with distorted and unrealistic standards? That's exactly what we discuss with our guest Marci, a seasoned Resiliency Coach and Body Image Advocate. She strips down her journey of battling body image issues and her recovery process while also sharing how she found the courage to write a book about her life. Marci's story is a testament to resilience and the power of owning one's narrative.

In our conversation, Marci passionately discusses her endeavors in supporting children's body image, especially for parents. She explains her mission of creating practical tools to reinforce children's body image and self-esteem. Amidst this, she also navigates towards the necessity of teaching children about media and marketing and the significance of saturating them with positive messages. But the conversation doesn’t stop there. We plunge into the problems around demonizing fat, and how we should be more conscious about our reactions when our children grapple with negative beliefs about their bodies.

As Marci recounts her journey towards recovery and self-love, she paints a vivid picture of her battles with guilt, shame, loss, illness, and unhealthy relationships. With her innate storytelling ability, she exemplifies the strength of embracing one's unique self and the courage it takes to be brutally honest. Her insights on being your authentic self loud and proud are nothing short of inspiring. This episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, packed with lessons on resilience, self-love, individuality, and joy. It's not just a conversation; it's an awakening to embrace unconventional living, boost confidence, and spread positivity.

Marci Warhaft, “The Resiliency Rebel”, is a Coach and recognized expert on body image and self-esteem Marci is also the author of “The Good Stripper: A Soccer Mom’s Memoir of Lies, Loss and Lap Dances” where she shares in raw, honest and intimate detail her eye-popping journey to self discovery. By turning a life of turmoil into an example of tenacity and resilience, Marci uses her experiences to help others release themselves of the shame, guilt and insecurities that keep them from living their lives with the joy they deserve.

When my good friend Heather joined me on the Selfish Confidence podcast, we never expected to uncover such powerful insights on personal growth and development. Heather bravely shared her journey of self-discovery, which started during her teenage years as she battled severe depression. As a wife and mother, she knew she needed to make a change, and so began her adventure into the world of personal development, eventually leading her to become a certified life coach and NLP practitioner.

Together, we discussed the essential role that mindset and mental health tools play in navigating life's ups and downs. Heather revealed her experiences with depression, and how she learned to ride the waves of life by tuning into her needs in each moment to find balance. We also explored the tools and practices Heather uses to maintain her mental health and stay strong, including her podcast, Let's Taco About Bliss.

Heather's story serves as a powerful reminder that with curiosity and courage, we can achieve anything. She challenged her fears to create her podcast, which focuses on the concept of bliss – not just being happy, but also learning and gaining the confidence to know who we are. Join us as we dive into Heather's journey and discover how both small daily actions and conscious effort can lead us to bliss, personal growth, and ultimately, a life we love.
