EPISODE 90: This Simple Question Will Help You Make a Decision
Welcome back to The Confidence Show! I'm thrilled to kick off 2024 with you after a short break. I'm bringing you up to date with what happened over Christmas & New Year plus what's in store for me in the coming weeks (including my first date of the year!).
Here's a brief overview of what we cover:
1. Family Health: All four grandparents faced health challenges in 2023, making the holiday season emotionally charged. ACP sessions and discussions about end-of-life decisions were intense but necessary.
2. Christmas Amid Challenges: Despite health issues and COVID, we managed to have a meaningful Christmas. It was emotionally tough, especially as it was the first Christmas without Jasper.
3. Grief and Anticipation: Facing the inevitable loss of loved ones, especially my granddad, triggered a deep emotional response. The anticipation of future grief is a complex process, and I'm navigating it day by day.
4. Time vs. Money: Recent conversations about property development and email marketing decisions highlighted a crucial perspective. Sometimes, the value of time outweighs financial savings. This realisation led to choosing convenience over cost savings.
5. Decision-Making Reflection: Encouraging you to reflect on decisions in your own life. Are there areas where convenience and peace of mind should take precedence over financial considerations?
6. Course Offer: As a special offer until January 31st, The Confidence Course is available for sign-up in US dollars with an additional discount, making it more accessible for international participants.

4. Three Layers of Confidence: Breaking down the three layers of confidence and using them to help you feel more abundant—changing the inner narrative, pampering the body, and choosing to create feelings of abundance.
5. Practical Tips for Feeling Abundant: I share the exact things I do whenever I want to feel more abundant (especially when my reality is far from what I desire) including the things I tell myself, how trips to The Body Shop help and why I focus on gratitude for existing solutions.
6. Creating Feelings of Abundance: Encouraging practices like reflecting on positive experiences, spending time in nature, and appreciating the small things to create a sense of abundance.
We emphasise the importance of choosing positivity, practicing gratitude, and embracing feelings of abundance, illustrating how these practices can lead to a more fulfilling and joyful life. Remember: this is simply about choosing to feel good (but not in a toxic positivity way....).

EPISODE 87: This Will Happen When You Leave Your Comfort Zone
I'm a big believer in leaving your comfort zone. Whilst you can work on creating confidence on a daily basis through things like mindset work, energy work, practical actions you can take, I also firmly believe that confidence comes from taking action. And I think it's important that we regularly leave our comfort zone in order to reach new levels of confidence.

6. Importance of Self-Care: Emphasising the necessity of self-care during this vulnerable period, I provide insights into how to reset your nervous system and regain balance.
7. Navigating the Come Down: Whether it's a short recovery or a more extended period, I offer guidance on how to be compassionate with yourself and allow the necessary time to bounce back.
