Several months back, I was checking my analytics for my podcast, and I noticed that I had passed the 100,000 download mark, and I put a note in my planner to put together some sort of celebration to thank all of my listeners for helping me reach this milestone. And then I blinked and six months had passed.
Why am I telling you this? Because there are two phases to my celebration, and both of them will benefit you, my awesome listeners.
Phase One, I'm going to do an All Q and A episode. So the last episode in the month of February will include me answering all of the questions that you submit. How can you submit a question? It's really easy. You can send me an email at podcast@allegrativity.com or you can go to the website at https://allegrativity.com/QA, and you can record your brief question right there and I'll answer it for you live on the show.
Phase Two, is a contest where there's going to be a couple of different things that you can do to help me celebrate the milestone and then you'll get chances to win prizes. What kind of prizes? Mugs, t shirts, books, subscriptions to Audible, and a $500 coupon sponsored by one of my clients who wants to open up the world of coaching to one of you.
So how do you get ready for Phase Two? All you need to do is make sure you're on my email list. You can make sure that you're subscribed to the email on that same page, https://allegrativity.com/qa You'll want to make sure you're on my email list because when I open up the phase where you can start doing little fun activities in order to get entries into the prize drawings, I am going to communicate all the details through email.
So thank you so much for helping me reach this major milestone. I could not be more excited, and I can't wait to thank you in more tangible ways over the next few weeks.

In this episode of the Your Confident Self podcast, Allegra Sinclair interviews Trynette Lariba, aka the Curvy Fit RN. Trynette challenges women to love themselves and their bodies unapologetically to help them fulfill their purpose and change the trajectory of their lives. Trynette shared how running away from her calling caused her to struggle accepting her body, but God's intervention helped her to embrace it and develop a different kind of confidence that is not superficial but a skill set.

Do you feel like you're stuck in a rut, doing what you're supposed to do but not getting the results you want? If you're tired of struggling and feeling unfulfilled, this is the episode for you.

Communication is a powerful tool that can be used to create positive outcomes in our lives and the lives of those around us. It's time to take control of the way we communicate by being mindful of our words, how we use them, and who we are speaking with.

Consistency is the key to developing a signature communication style. Your signature communication style is a combination of the various elements that make up who you are. When people consistently see you expressing your values, beliefs, knowledge, culture and personality through your wardrobe, non-verbal communication, and how they feel spending time with you, they will come to see you as having an effective communication style unique to you.
