    #8 - Andrew Leedham, Author: Unstoppable Self-Confidence, achieve goals and live life on your terms

    You will want to listen to this episode more than once.  Great conversation with Andrew Leedham, a leading author, development coach and course designer about his mission to uncover the natural confidence, and successful mindset you were born with, through stripping away the unconscious beliefs you were conditioned to hold. To quote Carl Jung, 'Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.' We discuss the importance of quieting the mind, the idea of “good” guilt (hint: no such thing), and the idea of "functional worth" versus "inherent worth", among others. His book is called Unstoppable Self-Confidence (https://amzn.to/3hZ4Ahs). Take a listen, like and subscribe!
