Well, well, well. How the turn tables...I'm back for a special bonus episode! Listen in to get the tea on how 2022 has been for me, book updates, how I'm thinking about growth, and how to get more Confidently She in your life.

Welcome to the last episode in the Expansion Series! This episode is about connection, expanding connection. This whole series, don't forget, is meant to be relistened to, replayed, refreshed. And as you expand, you come back to different concepts and principles, revisit them and find a new way to expand them based on the new place you're at in your life. When we talk about connection and expanding your connection, you have to start with the relationship and the amount of connection you feel with yourself. Because you can only connect with other people as deeply as you have connected with yourself.

Today we are back with the Expansion Series. This one is my favorite because we're talking about Self-Expression. Expression is pretty much everything that has to do with your body. Your body helps you express yourself. Try expressing yourself without things like movement or your voice. Even our appearance and the way we look offers so many ways for us to express ourselves. The beauty that you choose to offer the world is your version of self-expression.

Welcome to the first episode in the Expansion Series! I am so excited for this series. I love the idea of expansion because oftentimes, we think that we need to grow or excel at a fast pace. But this concept of expanding for whatever reason, in my mind at least, gives me the permission to do it slowly. So the purpose of this expansion series is to talk through what expansion is going to look like as you go on through your life. You want to continue to expand your confidence and your relationship with yourself because we can ALWAYS continue to grow. In this specific episode, we are talking about "Expanding Your Enjoyment". This is a NEXT LEVEL confidence concept that I did not understand until recently and I cannot wait to share it with you!

I am SO pumped for this episode! I have been meaning to talk about it for a long time and I apologize because I should've talked about it wayyy sooner. But I didn't know how and I didn't know the best things to say because it's kind of a medical topic and I'm in no way a medical professional...BUT I am a woman who knows about her body. I am a woman who is connected to her body. And one of the things that helped me become so much more connected to my body was when I stopped taking hormonal birth control. That is what we're talking about in this episode: hormones, our bodies, sex, birth control, periods, all things woman.

I know how it feels to think to yourself, "There's no way I can make it until the next paycheck, I just need to quit and be done". I felt that so hard during my first job out of college...

Get ready to find out exactly what caused my body insecurities cause I'm sharing my very own step 2 of the Body Confidence Playbook: investigation. When you start investigating your body image, you realize everything you believe came from someone else who said it. Maybe it's a TV show or a popular phrase you heard growing up. But believe it or not, those negative thoughts in your head didn't come from you - and you can choose to keep them or let them go. It's time to investigate where your body image issues came from - cause they aren't your fault.

This topic is a long time coming, listen in to get a front row seat to my body image story and how I became aware it was an issue. I will talk about step 1 in the Body Confidence Playbook, awareness. Because even though we're taught that our bodies are the problem if we have confidence issues, my story will prove quite the opposite. It's actually not your physical body, it's your philosophy on your body that's going to unlock the kind of relationship you probably think isn't possible (right now) Connect with me on IG @rebekahbuege >>> Find out your body image sticking point here: www.bodyconfidencequiz.com >>> Learn more about Confidently She Premium (or register for our upcoming round) here: https://rebekah-buege-creative.mykajabi.com/confidently-she --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/become-confidently-she/message

Welcome back! Today I'm talking about when I wasn't a "gift giver". Love languages are really important and showing people that you care about them matters. It's not good enough anymore to just say "I'm not good at this" and hope someone else picks up that slack. What I want to do is become someone who is fluent in all 5 love languages. This episode is all about what I did to become a gift-giver, so you can learn just in time for the holidays!

Today's topic is sooo incredibly important especially around this time of year... toxic family members. When family starts feeling toxic, first of all, you know that you're growing as a person. Our family members are not perfect and they are on their own healing journey as well. And just because someone gave birth to you or shares your DNA does not mean that they get some kind of special privilege to treat you like crap. So if you're starting to realize some toxic behaviors in your family members, that means that you're outgrowing those toxic behaviors. Sooo good job!

I try to be thankful every day, but this time of year gets my Scorpio heart deep in my feelings. Really cool things happened when I started being thankful for my body. When we start being thankful for what our bodies can do for us, we stop being so harsh towards our bodies. Think about it, pretty hard to be annoyed by cellulite when you think about everything your legs do for you. This episode is my two cents on this season of giving thanks!

I used to feel guilty for spending money on myself. Like, every single dollar spent. But what I found is that when I started spending money on myself, my relationship with my body got so much better. When I started focusing on quality over quantity in my clothing, perfume, the food I ate, etc. I disproved this underlying belief I had that I wasn't worthy of the things I wanted. Listen, you deserve good things. If you're in this place of feeling guilt for spending money on yourself, there are a few different reasons why. This episode will break it down and help you, too, overcome this belief that it's only okay to splurge on other people.

I hear it all the time and I've said it myself, “It's hard to make friends as an adult..especially female friends.” Insecurities, competitiveness, and comparison-itis all lead to unsafe friendships.

Making friends as an adult is only hard when you never want to feel awkward when you never want to be rejected. You're here for the tips, the advice, and the answers.

What can you do when you realize you're not growing? Start by looking at your habits and see which ones are aligned with your highest and best. Take note of the habits that are helping you be a healthy version of you. Not a restricted and over-controlled version. But what are your habits that are serving you well? What are you spending time thinking about? Who are you spending time with? All of these things are going to influence whether or not you're growing. After all, you're like a plant. (Are you a plant person? I'm starting to become one.) We have to be planted in good soil. Need new soil? Uproot yourself. You can get replanted in soil that will nourish you.

The most successful women are prone to having the biggest imposter syndrome. Think about it, you can't feel like an imposter if you're not doing something *big* and important. I struggled with imposter syndrome when I first got into corporate America, and it still creeps in now and then. Why is it that when you start seeing a lot of success you think to yourself, "No WAY can it be this easy. No WAY it can happen this fast. I must have fooled them... right? They haven't figured out that I don't know what I am doing." The reason you doubt yourself is because the system you're working in was designed for men. It's time to believe that you deserve the success that you have. And this episode will tell you WHY. Imposter syndrome isn't a syndrome..it's a symptom of patriarchal systems.

Today's episode is an important one. I focus a lot on how to uncover insecurities and the causes of them related to our body when it's not so obvious. Like how to find the sources of the different insecurities that you may have related to your body. But sometimes those causes are very obvious. Sometimes it's quite clear whose fault it is you have the body image struggles that you do. And sometimes those causes are... our parents.

Welcome back my friends! I'm excited about this episode. This is a big one and it's really important. Today we're talking about the holidays and boundaries. The holidays are a funny little time where everybody thinks that they can use it as an excuse to do whatever they want and sometimes to be really toxic. Maybe this refers to family members, a partner (or ex-partner), your relationship with food, or your relationship with your body. Knowing what your boundaries are with other people is important, especially around the holidays. But knowing what your boundaries are with YOURSELF around the holidays is even moreeee important.

Don't let the poor audio quality stop you from getting HYPE listening to this episode! We're talking food, which is a touchy subject that shouldn't be! Queen, we can't avoid food!! Okay? We can't avoid it. One of the reasons this feels so big and so heavy is because you're faced with it every day. You can't avoid food like you can avoid shopping if you're a shopaholic or bring home work if you're a workaholic or whatever... You are faced with making decisions about food multiple times a day. Today on Confidently She, I want to encourage you around this thought: food is designed to be enjoyed and help you express who you are and what you're feeling! In fact, it's your responsibility to your body is to make sure it has energy. Food is a kind way for you to serve and honor your body. Lean into this episode and hear my heart when I say...food is not the enemy.

The audio quality is poor, but the content is FIRE!! In this episode, I'm talking about timelines..... turning 30, staying relevant as a woman, and all this pressure we feel as women to get things done in a certain amount of time and to hit certain milestones before we reach a certain age. Cultural timelines of expiration dates on your career, relationships, when you can have certain things in order to be "impressive'. Because it's not just our bodies that have these as women. Why do we have these ridiculous timelines on how quickly everything in our life needs to happen? What fundamental belief does a timeline point to?

Why do we think of ourselves as a body? Our brains are trained to think certain things about ourselves because of today's culture. Feeling like you ARE what your body looks like. Feeling like you ARE the appearance of your body. That is your identity. That is who you are. In this episode, we're going to talk about why we feel this way as women. What to do about it. And what's actually true.

Today we're talking about love languages. And how to apply your love language to your relationship with your body. If you don't know what your love language is...where have you been?? You need to know which one(s) is yours (btw this is another great way to get to know yourself

In this episode, we're talking about practical ways to meet yourself. Specifically, getting to know your body. Now, I know what you're probably thinking....."Rebekah how would I not have met myself? I've been alive for x number of years. This is a weird topic...?" I hear you and if it were me six years ago, I probably would be saying the same thing. But trustttttt me, you have to know yourself in order to love yourself.

I'm excited about this episode because we're talking about generational ideas of body image. As women, we're very self-focused. We tend to think that the way we want to look, is the way everyone wants to look. We also tend to compare ourselves to the current beauty/body "standard". But when you look at what the beauty/body standard was throughout the years, it's ever-changing. It's not like women have held themselves to the same standards for the past 200 years and we're all working towards the same goal. No! Depending on the decade that you grew up in, or went to college in, that's going to influence what you think your body should look like. So think about the expectations that you're holding yourself to and what "standard" does it line up with? Let's deconstruct these generational body type expectations, and be more intentional about where your expectations for your body come from.

This episode talks about how to actually start feeling confident in your body. Beauty standards have everyone confused on what's actually beautiful, what you need to do to be confident, and how to exist as a woman.

Q&A episode: Fear of failure and always trying to do my best used to drive my decisions. This question about having high expectations of yourself brought out a lot of great lessons I've learned over the years of trying (and failing at) a lot of things.

Anyone getting attention also gets hate. Haters are jealous of the attention you're getting. They feel threatened by you doing something and instead of choosing to be inspired, they choose hate. That says a lot about them - and very little about you, my queen. However, there's a difference between haters and actual feedback.

Single? Disappointed with your dates? Not ready to settle for another guy expecting praise for doing the bare minimum? Yahhh - I'm right there with you, love. Here's the thing, as you grow in confidence, your compatibility pool gets smaller. You're only attracted to people who are also confident and secure. Your criteria changes. Which is great, because you avoid the toxic relationships and stress of being mistreated. But it means you're single longer. Here's the truth: you can have a complete, fulfilling life without a romantic partner. When you focus on what you bring to the table and expanding who you are, you're not going to let people sit at your table who only show up with an appetite. You also won't be starving for any kind of "food" someone's willing to offer.

The best way to develop a mindset of confidence is to emulate a figure who already has it. I couldn't think of a better way than to embody the energy of a Queen. Like, a legit Queen. It's not arrogant to see yourself as a Queen when you understand what that actually means. In this Foundations episode, I'm explaining why I chose this term and what it means when put into practice. Do you expect people to bow down to you in the street? Of course not...but I want you to be at a place where if it happened you wouldn't be uncomfortable or all that shocked. Seeing yourself as a Queen reminds you there's really no competition because you already got the crown, you just need to uphold it and enjoy it. Remember who you are, and listen to this episode. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/become-confidently-she/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/become-confidently-she/support

What's the difference between feminine confidence and masculine confidence? Isn't confidence just...confidence? No, it's not. Based on the context, you can respond from a place of masculine confidence or feminine confidence. In order to know how you want to respond, you have to understand the difference between these two things. Most of what we see in culture is masculine confidence traits, and of those traits - the ones we associate with confidence are unhealthy, boarder line toxic. Things like being forceful, controlling, doing "whatever it takes" to produce a certain outcome. That is predatory behavior, it's actually not confidence. Confidence is a grounded trust in yourself to handle situations as they change. It's actually not being in control (as much as we might think it is) listen for the full context of what confidence is and how masculine and feminine energies show up in a confident way. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/become-confidently-she/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/become-confidently-she/support

Okay - here it is. I'm laying out my definition of femininity and what it looks like to be a confident, feminine woman. The easy way to act confident is to mimic what you see others doing. That's how we learn. But when you're in a male dominated industry or business function (or just around a lot of dudes) that tends to look like conforming to masculine confidence traits. That happened to me for years when I first started in corporate sales. I copied everything the most successful reps did (those happened to be men on my team) and it put me in my masculine energy. I had to actively seek out the women who were doing well and see what habits they employed and how I could create that in my approach. This works outside the business world, too. We often see "confident women" acting the exact same as men, which doesn't attract the masculine. So what do we do? Listen to the episode. I have the answer. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/become-confidently-she/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/become-confidently-she/support

I'm Rebekah Buege (Biggie) - here's a taste of what's in store for you during the Foundations series of Confidently She. Each one of these 5 fresh episodes are scheduled to release on the 2nd of every month from February - June. It's easier for me to talk about myself in the 3rd person. Who is Rebekah? She's a sister to 4 siblings, a daughter to parents married for over 35 years, and an aunt to 5 sweet nephews and 1 niece (biological and more). She's a top sales associate helping executives solve issues before they happen at companies you've definitely heard of. She has medals from half and full marathons - trophies from state and national speech championships - awards from choir contest. She grew up in Minnesota and moved to Los Angeles during the pandemic. She judged the Miss California pageant. She started violin lessons. She's a Scorpio. She's writing a book. There's more, but I'm getting bored. Everything gained momentum after unpacking the resistance I carried around femininity. I continue to develop and strengthen my identity beyond the approval of others - and it activates confidence. I coach women privately to create this in their relationship with their body. This series is a drop in the ocean of what Confidently She has to offer, but we'll get to that later.

Comparing yourself to validate your worth leads to deep insecurity...which is a problem because we're conditioned to compare our bodies against cultural beauty standards and other women. Instead of telling you to "stop comparing" I want to offer context for comparison and what types of comparisons are interesting to humans...so you understand why you're drawn to compare - and eventually you can redirect your thoughts to more interesting topics. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/become-confidently-she/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/become-confidently-she/support
