The Confidence Trap: Waiting to Feel Good Until You Lose Weight

How much of your life are you putting on hold until your body changes?

Maybe you tell yourself you'll wear the clothes you really love when you lose weight. Take the pictures when you feel better. Go on the trip when you're more comfortable in your body. Finally feel confident when the number on the scale is where you want it to be.

But what if confidence isn't waiting for you at your goal weight?

In this episode, we're talking about the confidence trap—the belief that you have to change your body before you're allowed to feel good, show up fully, or live the life you want.

We'll explore why losing weight doesn't necessarily create the confidence you're looking for, what confidence actually comes from, and how you can begin building trust and confidence in your body right now—without giving up on your goals.

Because you can want to change your body without putting your life on hold until you do.

Your life doesn't have to wait for a smaller body.

Do you ever find yourself feeling stuck in a rut? Like you feel like you "can't" get out of it no matter what you do? In this episode, Kim talks about how to cultivate empowerment by swapping "can't" for "how". This pivitol shift can create clarity, spaciousness and curiosity in helping you identify and meet your needs.

Have you ever said "they made me feel____"? Maybe you have felt like people had the power to make you feel a way. The truth is, people are mirrors and reflect back that which we are uncomfortable with in ourselves.

In this episode, Kim explores what it looks like to take control back and empower yourself to understand your feelings and communicate them so you feel seen and understood. With practical tools, you can confidently say "It's not you, it's me!".

I'M BACK!!!! After an 6 month hiatus from the mic, I finally found inspiration to record this episode all about wanting, lack and abundance. I am sooo excited to be back with you and can't wait to share my thoughts on law of attraction and manifesting with you!!

Quarantine weight gain is a real struggle for so many of you right now (and myself included). I wanted to use this episode as a space to share a framework for you for feeling more in control of your body, thoughts and emotions.

This was my first time leading a guided meditation online, so bear with me in this episode! My heart and intention was to bring nature to you wherever you are. Take a moment for yourself to listen and participate. Fill up your diffuser with some tree oils, grab some crystals or a comfy blanket and let's venture out under the trees together.

I have another fabulous Licensed Professional Counselor joining me on the show today! Connie Baker is an LPC, author, speaker and creator of Dear Survivor, a line of mantras and support for trauma survivors. Her passion is to help people give themselves permission to be, heal and grow.
