The Power of a Pair of Boots
Description
In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story about how my confidence took a hit, how I unknowingly held myself back, and what ultimately helped me rebuild my sense of self. Spoiler alert: it involves pole dancing, platform boots, and a whole lot of fun!
We’ll have a look at how our defence mechanisms get in our way and how they can subtly keep us stuck. Plus, I’ll invite you to reflect on where you might be self-sabotaging and what small (or big!) steps you can take to reclaim your confidence and joy.
Here are the highlights of this episode:
(1.40) The moment I realised my confidence had taken a knock
(2.10) The surprising impact of stepping out of my comfort zone (hello, pole dancing!)
(5.03) Building ourselves back up from adversity
(6.09) Why we can get over busy at times
My invitation for you to consider this week is where in your life are you holding yourself back? What stories are keeping you stuck? I encourage you to explore what’s stopping you and to take one step, big or small, towards moving forwards.
