Key Confidence Tips:
>> Understand how to drive your brain to make confidence based decisions.
>> Prioritize what you value, what you need, and what you want.
>> Make decisions around which battles you're going to fight and how you want to fight them.

"Your brain has a number of processes that it uses to decide what to do, how to react, how to respond. Most of the time, we don't take that signal, that information and stop it, grab it, and make the conscious decision on what to do with it. We allow our brain and our experience, our baggage, our self-beliefs, things that are kind of automated scripts in the background to make the decision for us."- Alyssa Dver

Thank you Alyssa Dver for being on the show!

"In truth, authenticity is in a context and not everybody is given permission to be authentic. And so what happens is over
time, I think people kind of lose who they are, and this is what creates just a sense of loss and a sense of confusion and just frustration, lack of fulfillment, because you're always trying to like mold yourself because each culture is different.  Each manager wants something different, you know, and on and on. And so I think. You know, for folks who are in situations who feel frustrated and feel stuck. I think the biggest thing that you can do for yourself is find a way to come back to yourself." - Tosca DiMatteo

Assessing Your Job for the Right Proportions:
>> The key is how much alignment you have. Those choices about the work that we do, the organization and the people that we work with all have to do with aligning as much as possible, what we love to do and what we have to do.

Suggestions for Individuals Struggling to Find Joy with Work:
>> Set boundaries
>> Delegate responsibilities

How to show up and be courageous at what you're doing
>> Show up and do your best.
>> Be confident with humility.
>> Choose your battles, compromise, and be open to other points of view.

"When we're so fundamentally disrupted, it's just an opportunity to take stock and reflect.  There's been this amazing reset of priorities, according to a new study, where we're all recommitting to each other, to community, to family, rethinking our priorities, rethinking our careers. And that
is about the ingredients for happiness. Really thinking about how we create joy, even with the ebbs and flows that are natural in our lives"
