Certainty is one of our core needs and we need to feel secure and safe about the future. We fear the unknown and most of the time, we avoid doing things outside our comfort zone.

Everyone talks about the need for self-confidence, but what exactly does that mean? The dictionary defines it as, “confidence in oneself and in one's powers and abilities.” I believe there’s a lot more to it. You can’t just grab a bottle of confidence and drink it down to suddenly become a more self-confident person. On today’s podcast, host Tony Wechsler and Lisa Monette discuss “the myth of self-confidence,” and how understanding this can give us a much better edge in life.

One of my favorite scenes in The Lion King is where the monkey, Rafiki, hits Simba with his stick. When Simba asks, “What was that for?!”, Rafiki tells him “It doesn't matter; it's in the past”. The point is that the past has already happened. We shouldn’t focus on it, but sometimes, we really do need to accept it. On today's episode, Tony Wechsler and Laura Lopez discuss how to accept your past and move onward for a better future!
