I get asked all the time "how I'm so confident in being myself." It honestly makes me sad that this is a common question, because isn't that what we all should be confident in being? Today's show was inspired by a conversation with a friend about standing strong in yourself, and it turned into an episode about some of my story and how I developed self confidence.

TOPICS:

-The conversation with a friend that inspired this episode

-Why we are biologically programmed to want and need acceptance from others

-Why we're more afraid of public speaking than death

-Starting my fitness journey/my fitness social media and getting mocked/bullied by my peers from my high school

-Learning the lesson of growing strong in myself and who I am

-Being a "floater" in high school and never really fitting in with a particular group or clique

-Going from being a "chameleon" to fit in with groups to being more confident in simply being myself

-Spending time alone and without many friends, and how that taught me focus and self-discovery

-Our own unique gifts

-Cultivating confidence through critcism

-Closing notes
