Do you want to take up more space?

Are you nervous that you will come across as too big or too intimidating? Or are you on the other end of the spectrum and want to be more comfortable being reserved in your nature and not forced to talk to everybody at a party?

Taking up space looks different for everybody but ultimately I think each of us want to be comfortable in our own skin at the end of the day.

If you've ever been told "just be more confident" was your reaction "oh, awesome, that solves it!" or did it feel more like a condescending and trite comment?

I bring in my friend Angel as we unpack the question of "how do I become a more confident person?"

My personal take is confidence is an identity question.

Before we can access confidence in who we are we have to have identified who we are, then Angel adds on top of it that we also have to like who we are in order to own a room authentically.
