Ever feel like you're drowning in a sea of self-doubt and comparison, especially during the holiday season? You're not alone. I've been there, scrolling through my phone, allowing others' seemingly perfect lives to overshadow my own. It's a struggle that can be overwhelming, but through sharing personal experiences and discussing how we can disconnect from technology, we aim to help you navigate these tricky emotional waters.

Our lives are often filled with societal limitations and self-doubt, acting as anchors holding us back. Reflecting on my own experiences, I've found that understanding the roots of these feelings can be a game changer. I encourage you to do the same - explore your emotions, seek support from friends, journal, anything that helps you unravel the emotional knots. And remember, social media is a tornado of noise that often distracts us from staying true to ourselves and our desires.

Let's not forget Thanksgiving and the importance of gratitude. Whether you're celebrating or not, let's take a moment to be thankful. Thank you for supporting us and don't forget to spread the confidence by sharing this episode with friends.

Imagine a world where we instinctively understand our strengths, our quirks, our energy levels, and how we can use these to invigorate the people around us. That's the world of Human Design, and I got my first glimpse of it at a salon, of all places. Thanks to my fabulous hairdresser Tenika, I discovered that I'm a Projector.

Today we're diving into the magic of Human Design by scratching the surface of the five unique types: Projectors, Manifestors, Manifesting Generators, Generators, and Reflectors.

Do you know what the secret ingredient is at the heart of any journey? It's belief. Picture a marathon runner, they don't just wake up and start running, they believe in their ability to finish the race. Similarly, you need to have faith in yourself when embarking on a personal or professional journey, whether it's starting a business or a blog, or entering a relationship. And remember, it's okay to feel joy and excitement even in the darkest of times. This episode will reassure you that you're not alone in your journey, and it's perfectly fine to disconnect from the constant barrage of news updates.

Happy almost Thanksgiving! There's a BIG focus on being thankful in this season and I'm sure you are but are you showing up for yourself as you would for others?

In this episode of the Selfish Confidence podcast as we dissect the importance of self-care during demanding periods such as this Thanksgiving season. I challenge you to introspect and ponder on this - How would you show up if all your obligations were fulfilled? How can you prioritize self-care?

The journey to self-discovery isn't always straightforward, and sometimes, asking for help is what we need most. As women, it's often hard to seek support, to admit we're struggling. But it's okay. This episode facilitates an open discussion about the significance of having a dependable support system and how to create one. Together, we will learn how to reach out, ask for help, and build a network that fosters growth.

3 questions to ask yourself today:
1. If everything was taken care of, what would I do today?
2. Who can I call on for support today?
3. What do I need to live a great life?

Remember, you're not alone in your quest for clarity. Let's embark on this journey together, and remember - you are magic! Share the episode, tag me on social media, and let's inspire each other to greater heights.
