#134: What if being truly vulnerable could transform your relationships and boost your confidence? On this episode of the Babbles Nonsense Podcast, we tackle the profound themes of confidence, vulnerability, and dating relationships. Reflecting on my own experiences of heartbreak and healing, I dive into Matthew Hussey's insights from "Love Life," which redefined my understanding of vulnerability as sharing insecurities and the healing journey. Inspired by a social media friend's  openness, I explore the necessity of being vulnerable not only publicly but also in close-knit circles while promoting genuine communication and empathic listening. Ever thought that true core confidence comes from within? Join me as we discuss how to build this inner strength, relying on self-love rather than external validations. Drawing from personal experiences, including my recent amicable heartbreak, I contrast my past reliance on external sources for confidence like appearance and material possessions with a newfound, resilient core confidence. We also confront societal pressures on women to age gracefully, critique Hollywood's unattainable beauty standards, and emphasize the importance of vulnerability and self-acceptance. This heartfelt episode encourages emotional introspection and seeking support from trusted friends or professionals during challenging times.Follow me on social: https://www.instagram.com/babbles_nonsense/

Justin Guarini became a household name in 2002 as the runner-up in Season 1 of American Idol. From there, he's starred in multiple Broadway shows and, in 2015, began appearing in Diet Dr. Pepper commercials as "Lil' Sweet." But the road to success has not always been an easy one. Through the ups, down, and complete direction reversals that the public is often not made aware of, Justin ended up in unexpected territory, fascinated with the ins and outs of what allows entertainers, influencers, and entrepreneurs to be confident in moments when they're feeling anything but. It's been a journey that led to the creation of his Core Confidence program and his soon-to-be-released book, Unshakeable Confidence. In this incredible conversation, Justin and I discussed confidence -- that "thing" that every creative person lacks at one point or another, no matter how much success he or she attains! Interview highlights: [4:30] Confidence is not necessarily something you're born with. You don't “have it” or not. The formula that stands the test of time when it comes to consistent confidence.

Have you ever wished you could be the first one on the dance floor? Or the one who effortlessly jumps on the beat and freestyles without flinching? I know I have… We all know that we shouldn't care too much about what others think of us, yet we struggle to unwind the deep-rooted patterns of self-consciousness and constriction that hold us back from doing socially ‘risky' things. Part of us is afraid that if we do such things, we might make a fool of ourselves and everyone will think we're weird or somehow unacceptable. So we stay stuck in this cage that once protected us when we were young, yearning for deeper levels of freedom and authenticity.  Until eventually, we decide that we've had enough.  Enough standing on the sidelines. Enough filtering and suppressing that which wants to come through us. Enough being anything other than our messy, unadulterated selves.  If you have reached this threshold, then this episode is perfect for you. In it, Jordan Bates explains how he went from being stuck in his head to cultivating a deep sense of core confidence that lead to him becoming a professional rapper. Are you ready to stop playing small and allow yourself to be exactly what you are in each moment? If so, I present you with this step-by-step blueprint for how to let go into the life you know you are capable of living. Before you dig in, here's a little love letter that Jordan wrote for you.

I'm happy to have you on, Speaker 2 (00:04): Thank you so much for having me, dr. Litzy. It's glad to be here. Speaker 1 (00:08): Yeah. And so obviously I'm a physical therapist as are you, you have specialized in pelvic health and women's health, and then you have also kind of made that transition for at least part of your career into coaching, mainly other women from around the world. So before we get into the meat of the interview, I would love for you to share with the audience a little bit about your sort of career trajectory. Speaker 2 (00:40): Absolutely. Yes. So it's a, it's a little professional and it's a little personal, so it's the story tends to track with a little bit of both. I also went and got my yoga certification and that was actually the first thing that I did after physical therapy, you know, from, from physical therapy. A lot of that came because you know, in our profession we have a high turnaround and burnout ratio there at times. And I was a chronic fixer and helper and I was good at what I was doing to the point where I, you know, anybody came in and I was ready to, you know, help them with their issue. And so I went to my first yoga class, really just to chill myself out, get a little bit grounded and get, get real. And then from there it really almost overnight, it, it drastically shifted the way I was showing up and treating my patients at the time. Speaker 2 (01:42): I realized that kind of less was more, I realized that it was more important for me to listen instead of coming in with a plan and, you know, my own action sheet and really meeting people where, where we were, I think I was always empathetic, but it, it really enhanced that. And on top of that, I stopped getting sick. I was averaging, you know, a sinus infection once a month and just burned out already and young because I didn't want to, you know, you didn't want to fail having that syndrome. So really yoga kind of came first and then that solidified me for a while. I kept into the physical therapy world. I've always lived in rural areas in Virginia and I was on the Eastern shore of Virginia and I'm an only child. So I do like to be the only one doing something I like to be a little special. Speaker 2 (02:40): And, and so I realized nobody in the area was doing pelvic floor work. I had in all of my internships had some sort of connection to pelvic floor and women's health work. So I, I learned about it. I kind of knew about it. I didn't know if that was something that I wanted to get into. But I knew that it was a niche in the area that I was in. And so it was when I got into pelvic floor physical therapy work that I really professionally started to see this and, and chronic pain management has always been something that I just love helping people that have been to lots of therapists, physical therapists, and in there need assistance with that. But I was just seeing this mind body connection. I was seeing how with all of these individuals, and for some reason, I just happened to be working with a lot of leaders, professionals, directors, CEOs, you know, it just was kind of happening that way. Speaker 2 (03:41): Even some like rockstars lawyers, I don't know, Olympic swimmers, all these different people and stress was also happening mentally. You know, there were things going on either in their personal life or their professional life. That just seemed to be kind of also coming into what I was noticing in their physical body. So I was learning about it personally and just my own interest. And then I also was seeing it professionally and I was seeing when I started incorporating some of the yoga, you know, some of the mindfulness based practices and stress management breathing that I was getting better results. And I just am a result junkie. You know, I'm not interested in putting a patch on something. I want somebody to come back to me six or seven or 10 years later and be like, I'm still using what you did. So there was that. Speaker 2 (04:34): And then on top of that what I got into pelvic floor therapy, my started having children and my, our, our first child who's now seven was we found out at a very young age that he had an ultra rare genetic mutation. So it was de Novo. It wasn't for my husband or myself and severe speech apraxia. So I started getting, you know, deep into the world of executive functioning and,ureally learning more and more about kind of, I always loved the nervous system, but, you know, I became even more fascinated with how to manage that,uand, and work with it. And so that, those two things kind of happening simultaneously are what brought me into, into coaching. Umnd specifically working with female leaders, hecause that, I don't know, that's just like a deep within personal mission is I feel like women are here to make a major contribution. Speaker 2 (05:42): I feel like the time, the time is ripe, the time is now. But we've learned and write in it in a great way. We've learned from a very male dominated structure,uwhich doesn't always work for women. And,uit can, it definitely works. It's not that it's, you know, not working, but there, there are some things that need to slightly shift and,uI'm just, I really want to be able to contribute to women, being able to be in these leadership roles and do it without as much burnout do it without as much self-sacrificing,ufamily sacrificing community sacrificing. Uso yeah. Speaker 1 (06:32): Awesome. Well, thanks for that. Thanks for kind of letting the listeners get a little bit deeper into kind of who you are and why you do what you do, because it all leads into our discussion today. And it's, it's really all about as you say, why we need to be connected, why we need to be aware and in tune with our pelvis. So as a physical therapist, we can all agree that yes, we need to be in tune with that area. Everyone has a pelvis, everyone has that musculature and, and the functions of but coming from, I think your unique perspective of both physical therapist and coach and looking really beyond just the pelvic floor, which we should all be doing anyway. So, so give us your take on why we need to be connected. Speaker 2 (07:25): Yeah. You know, I've seen in, in the realm of success, leadership, entrepreneurship anybody who's, who's type a you know, th there's a lot of overthinking long to do lists. There's a lot of being up in our head, you know, w where do we go next? And I say, we, because this, you know, I've, you're only a great teacher if you've been there yourself, right. And, and are still in the depths of it. And so, you know, we th there's lots, that's constantly swirling up in our head, but we also know, and, and, you know, a variety of different resource research sources have shown us this, that we can't access all of the solutions to our biggest professional, personal life challenges. If we're in constant thinking mode all day long, not to mention, you know, roughly 80% of all thoughts are habitually negative, which is not very helpful for solving problems. And so the reason that I am so drawn to what I call, you know, well, it's not just me calling it a core confidence and getting people specifically into their pelvis and back into their body is, is reducing the overthinking so that we can access again, creativity, focus, productivity, you know, improved, sleep, stress, relieving, you know, hormone responses. You know, I could, I could go on and on. Speaker 1 (09:01): Yeah. And so you brought up the, the the words, core confidence. So can you explain what, what does that mean? Because I have a feeling it may mean a couple of different things to a couple of different people, but in the work that you do in helping people become more productive, improve their leadership, improve their life, what does that, what does core confidence? Speaker 2 (09:28): Yeah. I love how you said that, you know, it means something to, there's lots of different ways to describe it in there. There really is. You know, to me, and also the, the clients that I've worked with for many, many years now, it means freedom. It means expansiveness. It means seeking joy. It means effectively, you know, being effective at what they do. Meanings means also having more energy core confidence really is being able to go within yourself and access that wellspring of inner wisdom really access your, your yes or no. And a lot of times, and this is, this is actually comes from, from those in the research field. Core confidence also is a mixture of self-efficacy of hope of optimism and resilience. External confidence. I don't think we should be talking about core confidence without also touching on external confidence and external confidence is what the majority of us learn to, to seek after. Speaker 2 (10:43): And we're constantly seeking after it. The external confidence is, you know, does dr. [inaudible] Like me, or, you know, what I should be doing right now, or, you know, these are the, the, the dreams that, that others are doing. So this marketing strategy has worked for them. This app has worked for them, let me do this, let me, you know, follow this meal plan. And so, you know, we're constantly as humans chasing others, things that have worked for them. And, and we're very often, again, not realizing we're up in our head and we're not really checking in with the, the little voice that's like, that's kind of a waste of time. Speaker 1 (11:32): Yeah, totally. I, I always find that it's so much easier to look for that external validation and get our confidence from that external validation, then what we do than what we think we are doing. Does that make sense? Solutely yeah, so I, I mean, and, and we're all human and all humans fall into that trap. So can you kind of give us an example of how you might work with someone to help develop this core confidence and help to bring in more joy and help get them a little more grounded into themselves? Are there any sort of exercises or things that you do with people that you can give this as an example? Yeah, Speaker 2 (12:15): That's a, that's a great you know, I I'd say one of the main tips that I, that is probably ended up being my, my signature Sarah move,uhas been really, you know, so listening to somebody, I really love deep listening. I mean, I think when you start listening to someone, at least for me, I don't know this is, this is, h gift that I have is I start reading between the lines. Umnd actually I'm kind of diverting for a moment. A lot of times when I work with people, I don't do it over zoom. We don't do video. Umecause when you look somebody in the eye, sometimes it's hard to be a hundred percent truthful, you know, or again, you kind of fall into the, the external competence trap. Umnd so we do it all over the phone or, you know, with the video off so that I can really deeply listen. Speaker 2 (13:09): And what I'll do is, you know, if there's a belief in there for example, I was working with somebody the other day and she shared, you know, while we were talking about her personal life. And and she was like, you know, if I kind of keep having these, these, if I close the door on this relationship, I'm probably actually going to have to do a lot of hard work on myself to pick up the pieces. And what I asked her was, well, well, is that true? That working on yourself has to be hard. Speaker 1 (13:47): And when Speaker 2 (13:47): We, I call it, like, we've got to, we've got to go. I like going down the rabbit hole with somebody of like, really being like, why, why are we fearful about this? Like, let's, let's talk about it. Let's get to the root and let's shine the light on what, what the narrative is with this overthinking piece. Once we shine the light on it, half of the work is done because we've brought in awareness. And whenever you bring in awareness works time. Speaker 1 (14:18): Absolutely. Yeah. And it's, it's, you know, that you're right. Being able to listen and listen well is a gift, but it's also something luckily that can be practiced and can be worked upon as physical therapists. I think a lot of us, a lot of us are pretty good at listening. But when you work with, like you said, that chronic pain population, you really get, I think, a lot more in tune to what the person is saying. And you also learn how to ask those questions to draw out more thoughts. Speaker 2 (14:54): Absolutely. Yes. And here's the interesting thing that I've found. Okay. and, and I, a lot of this comes from like archetypes and youngian psychology is we have different aspects of our, of our psyche and of our personalities. Right. And a lot of times what you'll find is we learn these skills, we practice these skills professionally, but when it comes to the, behind the scenes for ourselves, we're almost like different people. I had a client the other day, you know, she is a director and has, has a large, very well-known board behind her. And and she's like, you know, if the board was to be a fly on the wall and kind of experience my personal life, they they'd be like what, you're not even the same person. Because suddenly things become matters of the heart. They're no longer again, the, the head, you know, so professionally relating people through this very well yet, we're not really sometimes having that, that advisor, that best friend, that we didn't even know we needed behind the scenes to help us hash out our own stumbling blocks. And that's where I think in, in leadership and entrepreneurship and being a CEO of, you know, your business and your life and trying to be healthy, wealthy, and smart, I think that's, we need that now. Speaker 1 (16:22): And why do you think that's so hard Speaker 2 (16:24): To, Speaker 1 (16:27): To confide in others of, you know, it's, it's a lot easier to say, Oh, you know, I, I didn't have any new patients this month. So, you know, I really w what do you think, how can I help? How can I get more patients? That's easy, right. To talk about our business and, and to talk about our our professional life. But why do you think it's so hard for people to confide in others on a more personal level? Speaker 2 (16:55): Hmm. I love this question. I really love it. Of course, I'm sure it's very multifactorial. I find that I don't, you know, I don't have any research on this, but I find that if you start looking back even into it and not like massively, but you start looking back into childhood, you know, where a lot of habitual patterns are formed and thought patterns are formed. A lot of times you'll see, you'll see trends there, but, you know, one vein of research shows that about half of all CEOs, those at the top are experiencing loneliness and loneliness in the sense that, you know, there has to be a level of healthy ego and confidence, right? B core confidence or confidence in order to want to succeed. You know, all sorts of people are teaching us out there and showing us that, you know, you gotta have some grit, you gotta have some resiliency if you wanna play this game. Speaker 2 (18:01): And it is a game. And so, you know, there there's factors of like, you can't trust everyone, right. If you have team members underneath of you traditionally that's really changing, I think, but traditionally we're taught, you know, you don't mix business and personal life. You don't do that. That's a no, no. Now you'll see that changing. And that's continuing to change because you know, many psychologists are beginning to study really resiliency and entrepreneurship and, and understanding more specifically how they're tied together, because it's, th that's really just a new field of, of understanding. He can't trust people, you know, and I think many have experienced, again, maybe it was in the past or more recently you know, you do share some of those personal moments and it might come back to bite you or suddenly the, the inner critic and other thought thought in the brain comes up and says, Ooh, that was not a good idea. You're probably that is going to backfire. You know, that could make you look weak. So I think it's very multifactorial. Speaker 1 (19:16): And I guess this is kind of where having someone, you know, outside of your direct business to have as a resource and to help you as a coach I guess I would, I'm assuming that that's where coaching comes into play, because you can kind of be that person to sort of help with the personal and the professional, because I can only assume that they're closely related. Speaker 2 (19:44): Right. They are way more closely related than people realize. And your professional self that like the way you act professionally is often different than the way you act and your personal life. Like, can you, can you relate to that? Speaker 1 (20:02): Yeah, of course. Okay. Speaker 2 (20:05): And so, you know, cause I, I, yeah, same thing for me too, but I'm always interested, you know, in what, what somebody, his answer would be. Speaker 1 (20:12): Yeah, no, there's, there's no question that, that we're a little different in our personal life than in our professional life. And, you know, it's funny to say, because I was having thoughts around that yesterday. Because you know, we're all human, right? Every once in a while, like we screw something up, we say something we didn't want to say we regretted afterwards. And yet you're vilified for being a human being. You're vilified for saying something that, yeah, like maybe what you said, wasn't the best thing to say, but you take ownership over it. You say, Hey, listen. Like, yeah. I mean, I, you know, I let my emotions get the best of me, which never ever happens in my professional life. Right. Right. In my professional life never happens. And yet all of a sudden you're demoted in the eyes of so many people, but all you did was you were just a human being and you said something, or you wrote something that you later like, ah, I can't believe I did that. And because it's not a podcast, we can't go back and edit it out. So I think that there is this, this weird kind of, if you start to melt the two together, you're going to be screwed. Speaker 2 (21:33): Yeah. It's a way or another, it's a belief. Absolutely. And I think that we need guidance to blend them appropriately, you know, because the answer is not, well, you'll see this as a marketing strategy now. Right. Where it's like, okay, show the behind the scenes and show yourself and be yourself and dah, dah, dah. Well, I think that there's always a, a middle ground to all of that, that we need to be aiming for. And again, it has to feel true to you, you know, like you have to get back into a state of checking in with yourself and not checking in with the head and the thoughts of like, okay, is this an alignment for me? And so, you know, in a lot of cases when you're blood, when you're, I like drawing on the professional self, like let's say, I might say, okay, what would professional dr. Speaker 2 (22:23): Litzy do when we're talking about something personal, because that's how the, the, the two aspects of you can really start blending together and start working together as a team and be like an integrated, whole healthy, beautiful person, right. Uwho can stay true to your individual values? You know, we get to like explore what those individual values are and being true to those,uin, in order to make it work for us, I've ever really cool example of a client who,ushe's in the hospital system and I'm pretty high up. And she was offered. We had been working for, I don't know, probably three to six months or something we'd been, she had been, and we were mostly working in the personal field, you know, but of course the professional always, always blends in. And she had been offered this incredible opportunity to lead this team. Speaker 2 (23:25): This was just in addition to her goals that she already professionally had for the year. And as she sat with that, and as I sat with that with her, she realized, you know, if this had been last year, I would have said yes to that. And I'm very flattered, but the truth is, is if I say yes to that, then all that I'm doing to take care of myself so that I can show up to meet my professional goals is actually going to be derailed. And so at that moment, it wasn't in alignment for her. And what was even better about that was then she was able to go to her boss and to communicate that I call it like, you know, communicating from the core, but communicate that not from up in the head like, Oh, no, I wonder what I'm doing. I hope, you know, hope I'm not really screwing this up, communicating it with authenticity, with crowdedness, with strength, right. With empowerment. And, you know, her superior was like best decision you ever made. I really appreciate it. Really championed to her now, how awesome would that be if we could have more of that in our small businesses and in all of our workplaces and all of our organizations, Speaker 1 (24:43): I mean, that's an ideal situation when the ideal situation, but I think it's hard when you're constantly kind of seeking out success and seeking to be quote unquote the best at what you do and to get that recognition and to build your business and to make more money. So you can live the lifestyle that you want to live and provide for your family or your friends or whomever is in your, your world. But how does, how does making these decisions, like you said, these sort of more grounded decisions where, where they are emotional versus making these decisions as strictly like pros and cons, like an intellectual pro and con list, you know what I mean? So how do you, how do you coach people in that tug of war? Speaker 2 (25:41): I hope I can answer the question of how do you coach people, because sometimes you just have to see it, you know, and experience it. But you know if you look, if you talk to anyone in the financial world, the stock market is emotional emotions drive everything. That's true. Right. And you know, if we're the faster, we're aware of that, the more tapped in that, that we're going to be. And so that's actually, what's happening is a, is a lot of times where we're making these leadership decisions, we're making these personal decisions when we're in a state of emotion. And often when we're, you know, emotions are coming from thoughts, right. You know, you know, the, the, the little wheel starts going and then suddenly, you know, we have these emotions with us. A lot of times you don't even know what the sensation is in the body, because we're, again, we're kind of more of in the head. Speaker 2 (26:36): And so when you can access, and what I do is often just really helping somebody with very challenging. Like I prefer the challenging situations, you know, where it's like, okay, why do I keep getting into this relationship? Why do I keep not, you know, being able to climb the ladder? Why is it I can't get, get know fit in the self-care pieces of it. And when we get to the root of it, a lot of times it's because things are happening in an emotional realm. And we've got to be aware of that, go down the rabbit hole of the actual, like fear and worry. And why, like, why are we responding the way we're responding? Why are we doing that? And then once you get to that, then you can actually get to the clarity piece where you get the clouds and the, you know, the fog out from your face. Right. You can go, okay, pro this con this dah, dah, dah, dah. Okay. Now I've got my marching orders go. And I, I don't know about you, but I like marching orders. I like to know the next step. Speaker 1 (27:37): Yeah, absolutely. And, and I think, you know, a lot of people who are in leadership positions or who are going out to be that entrepreneur, their dreams, like you are a type a person. I think you are a lot of just pros and cons. But I do think that the emotional segment of things does have to come into play because if your pros and cons from a very sort of robotic sense is, is okay, I guess, but then how is it going to make you feel, how is it going to affect your life? Are you going to be happy with your decision? Are you doing something because you feel pressure to do it because you have to do it, quote unquote. So I think being able to tap into that core confidence in that and your core values in order to help you make decisions is important. So it's like, I don't want to be on either pole, like purely emotional, purely cerebral, but you want to have, you want to be able to kind of get in there and go down that rabbit hole, which is not easy and takes a lot of self-awareness. Speaker 2 (28:44): Yes, no, it does. And that's why it usually takes a guide. Yeah, exactly. It really does. It takes a guide and you know, again, kind of that core confidence model that was not created by me, but having self-efficacy hope, optimism and resiliency, you know, these are things with, with a lot of difficult situations that, that our, our brain just has not been able to figure out the answer to. We tend to go down on the scale of those things, right? We're not trusting ourselves efficacy. We're not feeling very hopeful about it now, fascinatingly enough, you know, those that are fixers and types day and, and, and leaders if we can't fix something, if we don't know the solution to it, we're going to avoid it Speaker 1 (29:25): Totally a hundred percent. So it was easier and it's so much easier. Speaker 2 (29:30): We are to, to help and to show up for others and to fix the things that we know we can fix. And so again, then you see an imbalance and often times it's with the most challenging things that dealing with, again, personally, or professionally that we don't want to talk about. One of my clients, the other day was sharing,uyou know, this situation just resolved, but she was like, you know, I have been sitting on this,uspace like this, this land and space for the last 10 years. And I didn't know what to do with it. Now, when we got to the root of it, it was actually extremely emotional because she's in a family owned business. And it was something that a family member prior to her set up and, you know, really loved. And so it, it, it, it was way too. She couldn't make the decision because of the emotions connected with it. Uyou know, but she was like, I've been sitting on this forever and just avoiding it because I don't know what to do. So I can think of 50,000 other things to spend my time doing. You know, you can fix the kids, you can fix your friends, you can bring it into your professional career. And then meanwhile, some of the, you know, the other aspects are, are, are missing. Speaker 1 (30:44): I know I, when I get into those, those bouts of, Oh God, I can, I like will. And it's what I'm doing right now, which is why, when you said that you could do so, so many things to avoid. I'm like redoing my bookshelves, I'm doing some shredding of papers. I'm like crazy with the home edit. And now everything's in a rainbow, you know, I've got a lot of plastic bins hanging out everywhere. That's what I do when I'm trying to like, avoid looking at deeply at other things, you know? So that's what I've been doing for the past couple of weeks is I have been like cleaning out. Like my doorman was like, are you moving? I was like, Nope, not moving. Just, just finding stuff to do around the apartment. Speaker 2 (31:30): Exactly. Just being a great, you know, leader in the liver of life. Speaker 1 (31:35): Yeah, exactly. Cause I'm like, well, you know, if you come home to a nice clean apartment, it's better for your head. You can concentrate more when, you know, I probably need to go dig a little deeper and see, why am I doing all of this? And I know it's not just from watching the home edit, although it's a nice show. I'm sure it goes a little deeper. Speaker 2 (31:56): Well, it does, you know, and I'm glad you brought that up, you know, your, your personal situation, because I think that that helps all of us so much, you know, it's always nice to know when we're not alone. Right. And but you know, one of the biggest things that I've found in doing this work for as long as I have is people say to me, yeah. You know, I just, you know, everything you do sounds really great. Like that sounds awesome. It sounds like it really be helpful for me. And like, I don't really think I will, but I don't really think I want to go there. Uand we think, again, we think it's going to be hard, right? Like I was mentioning the client, the client earlier,u Speaker 3 (32:40): I have found that, Speaker 2 (32:44): And I think this is just my personality, but it's like, we got to make this fun and we gotta make this. Or action-oriented we kinda got to get the show on the road. So it's like, you know, again, if, if we're, if we're trying to leave a legacy, if you're trying to, you know, be productive and not give up on the idea that we have, you know, have success, then we are in a state in our country and in the world where, where we, we, yes, we can all, you know, afford to sit down on the couch with the weighted blanket and the wine and the ice cream, you know, but, but I just don't believe that, that we can afford too much of that anymore. I really don't, you know, like I, I need, I really feel so strongly that like, I need everybody to be functioning at a high level and it, it can be fun. Speaker 2 (33:40): It doesn't have to be like, Oh gosh, I'm, I'm, doesn't have to be so stressful. Yeah. Or like annoying, you know what I mean? Like, nobody really wants to like, look at themselves and see their shortcomings. And it's not about that. Like anybody that's trying to tell you it's about that. Th that's probably just perfectionist behavior showing up. It's not about that. It's about like, you've got to tap into your greatness. And when I say your greatness, meaning like just our essence, like our purpose of being here on earth, like something greater than ourselves, we've got to tap into that. We've gotten away from that. You know, that, that radical act of self-love that that's not just let me go draw a bubble bath. You know, that that is radically like, you know, we're all beautiful and we're here to share something great. Speaker 2 (34:37): One of the, one of the most upsetting thing, NGS, m don't know if you've ever experienced this, but, you know, as a physical therapist, when somebody has, host a limb or their pelvic floor is not working and they're upset with, you know, they have prolapse and they're like, Ugh, Ugh, this uterus, or, you know, gosh, my arm just looks awful. Now that pains me to my soul because I'm like, Oh, you know, like, gosh, your body has done so many miraculous things. I understand. And I empathize why you feel that way, but it, it makes me sad. And one of the things that has made me sad and being, you know, an advisor and a best friend to, you know, leaders who didn't even know if they needed that. Um,e of the things that makes me sad is when somebody comes to me and they're willing to just for a second share, I don't know if I can keep doing this anymore. Speaker 2 (35:35): I've thought about just giving it all up and going back to a simpler way of life and the same sort of thing. It makes me sad. Cause it's like, no, no, no, no, no, we don't. We don't have to do that. Like, you know, you, we don't have to, we just have to find some balance, right? Like you said, we don't need to be on one extreme. We don't need to be on the other extreme. We need to be somewhere in the middle and finding that is like super, super small finite changes. It's not the giant crazy things that changes that we like to make in our lives that we, you know, we think are going to be the solution. Yeah. Speaker 1 (36:10): I, I agree a hundred percent. And I think on that note, because I could keep talking about this all day. It's sadly, I don't know if the listeners want to listen to it all day. I'll do. I think they might. But I feel like we could keep going on and on here. But that being said before we wrap things up, just a couple of other things, number one, what, what are some of the big takeaways, or if there's one in particular takeaway that you want the listeners to leave this conversation with? Speaker 4 (36:46): Wow. Speaker 2 (36:47): I wasn't prepared for that. Dr. Lindsay. There is what I would say. The big takeaway that I really hope everybody understands is that when we get out of our head a little more often and start listening to the messages of the body, start listening to the messages of within then we really activate that core confidence. We step into a more effective way of leading and living and that's available to everybody and it's time to take it. Beautiful. Speaker 1 (37:26): That's a beautiful takeaway. Now you're welcome. And then of course, the last question that I ask everyone is knowing where you are now in your life and in your career, what advice would you give to yourself right out of PT school, a newbie. Speaker 2 (37:42): Ooh. Oh, this is, this is a fun one. So when I was in PT school, I knew PT was going to be a jump jumping off point for me. Ubut I, I didn't feel confident in that. And so honestly, what I would have said to myself then is, you know, yeah, you're a little bit of a fish. Speaker 1 (38:06): Yeah. You're doing things a little bit differently Speaker 2 (38:08): And it's okay. Just own, own your worst, keeping you which I'm sure I've always been doing, you know, but, but really telling myself that and gifting that to myself, that it's okay. It all starts lining up just one step at one step at a time. Speaker 1 (38:25): Awesome. And where can people find you? So social media or what's the best way? Yeah. So the best to get in touch with you, Speaker 2 (38:36): There are just so many ways to get, to get in touch with me. Of course social media let's see Facebook and Instagram is dr. Sarah Smith official. I'm also on LinkedIn, dr. Sarah Smith. It is Sara without an H. Usually people always are putting an H on my name, which is like, Speaker 1 (38:52): Denise is a Sara without an H. So I am very well aware of it. Speaker 2 (38:56): Thank you. And then www dot dr. Sara, D R dr. Sarah smith.com awesome. And website. Speaker 1 (39:06): Perfect.

Hello Queens, today a short and quick episode. In today's episode, I share with you my tips on how to speak with confidence (which have made a big difference for myself as well). We cover: - A special model to help you step into your "higher self" (BDH model) - Rewriting your "self-talk" - How to change your belief systems around speaking - “Queen Energy” Connect with Olivia Powell: INSTAGRAM: @Becomeapodcastqueen  FACEBOOK GROUP: “Become a Podcast Queen Community”  EMAIL: OliviaPowellCoaching@gmail.com

In today's episode, we cover emotional connection with Michael Herold. Michael is the instructor for the Art of Charm's Core Confidence program and uses evidence-based psychotherapy to help clients overcome their social anxiety and become the best versions of themselves. In today's data-driven world, many of us are struggling to connect with those around us because we don't know how to connect on an emotional level, but what does it mean to connect emotionally, what three rock solid steps can you take to deepen the connections with those around you, and how should you lead a conversation to make others feel comfortable around you? What to Listen For What three steps can you take to make a deeper connection with everyone you meet? Why is it impossible to connect with other humans using facts and data, and what should you use instead? How can you ask deeper questions that lead to fascinating conversations and deeper connections? What questions can you ask to deepen your relationships with anyone? What are the 3 levels of rapport we go through to connect with other people and why can going through them out of order lead to pushing people away when meeting them? What is the difference between light, medium, and heavy disclosure and when is it appropriate to approach each level? Why is it dangerous to ask too many questions in a conversation and how should you balance the asking of questions to make a conversation flow smoothly? Why is there no such thing as the perfect question or perfect answer in a fluid conversation? How should you word your questions to elicit thoughtful answers rather than cold data-driven answers? How do you lean into emotional content during conversations so the conversation doesn't fall flat? Human beings don't connect with other human beings through facts and figures. We connect based on shared emotional experiences. But it can be difficult to tap into those shared emotional experiences if you're uncomfortable asking open ended questions and sharing your feelings, aspirations, and fears. And in order to break through that discomfort, you have to do more than read a book or listen to a podcast - you must be willing to go out and talk to people.

Since the beginning of time, the pelvis has been a sacred part of our body. It is the seed of our safety and security, the familial history which carries DNA of generations prior. Women, in general, are more familial and tribal. Research shows that when women gather together and we are under stress, we have a stress-release hormone that cascades and brings us back to the center. Research also shows that women are prone to a lack of self-worth and tend to look for external factors to receive validation. We do this because we have learned it over time, passed down by generations before us. But there is a way to break this cycle.  My guest, Dr. Sara Smith, shares her profound wisdom on how to access your Core Confidence through the pelvic floor and its intricately woven dome of not only bones and soft tissue, but the strong energy it carries. Dr. Sara explains that years of generational conditioning, or sometimes chronic pain, has made us dissociate ourselves from the pelvic floor, yet this is a powerful part of the body where all the great wisdom lies...mind, body, and spirit. With Core Confidence, we can develop a deep trust in the messages and direction in which we are going and this comes from the pelvis and influences the gut {yes, it’s that gut feeling...bingo!}. If we learn to tune into this area on a regular basis, we will leave a mark that will not only leave a legacy for generations to come but also do service for ourselves. Join us today to learn how to tap into true stability, access your authentic voice, and empower your lives and relationships. In this episode you will learn: Dr. Sara’s journey into pelvic floor physical therapy and connecting with practical, energetic practices  How to connect with the pelvic floor to access your core confidence Links Mentioned in this Episode: Learn more and check out Dr. Sara’s NEW website:: http://www.drsarasmith.com/ Follow the Wild & Bright Journey: Sara Smith Wellness Facebook Sara Smith Wellness on Instagram Sara Smith Wellness on YouTube Join me in the Wild Wisdom Collective, my FREE Facebook group Get your hands on my NEW eBook -- 7 Natural Methods to Reclaim Your Health

Dr. Sara Smith is a doctor of Physical Therapy, Yoga instructor, and Certified Coach. She specializes in helping women activate their Core Confidence.

By weaving in easy to follow processes, Sara enjoys getting over-scheduled, multi-tasking, “get the job done” women to move beyond their current stress and reach far into the possibility of “where can I thrive? I enjoyed our conversation immensely and Dr Sara graciously explained more about what makes up the pelvic floor and why it is important in both our physical and mental health. She touches on the link between the need for control and pelvic imbalances such as stress and urgency. We touch on vitally important topics such as: chronic pain and how the simple act of listening and presence can begin to change a person’s life and world, the importance of learning to listen to one’s own body and a simple technique for how to drop into the pelvis, the great need for human connection, and Sara’s practice of delineating a word of the year. Sara shares her own journey in self-discovery and relinquishing control with her diet in working with a nutritionist this past year.

Lack of self-confidence is a key reason why many of us don’t get what we want —  that promotion, that raise, that speaking gig. Our guests this week are trying to change all of that. They are Kate Boorer and Fiona Pearman, two leading Australian business experts who have joined forces to write a book aimed at helping people “own their talents, face their fears, and create their futures.” That’s the sub-head of their extraordinary book Core Confidence (https://coreconfidence.com.au/book/) . We discuss why that happens, and what we can do with these building blocks to re-tap into that core confidence and walk away with a positive mindset.

2-Minute Tip: Reframe your Anxiety   Anxiety and excitement are closely related so if you’re nervous before speaking, reframe it in your has as excitement. Tell yourself how excited you are at this opportunity. The physical symptoms — jitters, racing heart, etc. are very similar so give your brain a different interpretation of them   Post Tip Discussion: Core Confidence   Authenticity is something a lot of my guests talk about because it matters. You can take inspiration and learn best practices from other speakers, but don’t try to be other speakers. Be yourself. It’s a heck of a lot easier.   Today’s guest coaches folks to do just that through his Core Confidence and AMP programs, with a special emphasis on understanding masculinity in the modern era.   Bio   Dennis Sumlin is a certified life coach, speaking coach, speaker, podcaster, and Distinguished Toastmaster.   From Dennis’s website:   I have a long background in performing arts, speaking/broadcasting, talent recruitment, and other related promotional and administrative experience. I am both a certified communication and confidence coach as well as a Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM) from Toastmasters International.   The company that would become Core Confidence Life started out as a men’s development coaching service. Lack of confidence is far too common, and many people have a hard time both knowing and using all of their talents.   Along with promoting and developing artists with a pro-growth message, CCL, through the main podcast, helps you gain core self-confidence and a healthy self-esteem. Guests share their story and we give you actionable tips to support your development.   Core Confidence Life is not just a promotion company, we support your development as an artist and a person, and we work to both make you more confident in your message and craft, and to promote a healthy authentic soul centered lifestyle.   Gillette: The Best a Man Can Be     Links   Dennis Sumlin Website https://coreconfidencelife.com/ Dennis on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/dennis-r-sumlin-cpc-dtm-05262b31/ Dennis  on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dennisrsumlin/ Dennis on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6xbqQqKpwoLsyL-G2K-NlA Dennis on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/CoreConfidenceLifePodcast/ Dennis on Twitter https://twitter.com/dennisrsumlin Core Confidence Podcast https://coreconfidencelife.com/listen/ Iron John by Robert Bly on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Iron-John-Book-About-Men/dp/0306813769   Call To Action   Check out Dennis’s website, podcast, and more by visiting http://Coreconfidencelife.com Share this episode with a friend colleague or relative by giving them the link http://2MinuteTalkTips.com/CoreConfidence Subscribe for free to 2-Minute Talk Tips in your favorite podcast app so you never miss an episode.

This episode we are chatting about one of my favourite topics (duh) Core Confidence. I explain WHY I decided to be a 'Confidence Coach', and why we need confidence. Without it, we can be frozen in doubt, afraid to be seen or put ourselves out there and end up letting opportunity pass us by because we don't believe we have what it takes, or that someone else will be more talented or gifted than us (so why bother). When we have confidence, we can speak up for ourselves, trust that what we have to offer is valuable and start doing all the things we want in life. I walk you through the 3 keys of core confidence, as well as the 8 steps to building your belief in your value. Imagine what would be possible in your life if you truly believed in yourself.

Here is the link to  howtobemerry.com The Science of Fasting  Believe Me: My Battle with the Invisible Disability of Lyme Disease www.youtube.com/Lyme Voice Radio Growing up in a small Maine town, young Merry Lynch understood early on that she was destined for greatness…and adversity. Learning the power of focus and determination from her father, she was inspired, as well, by such greats as Zig Ziglar, Wayne W. Dyer, and Charles “Tremendous” Jones. Merry had no idea at the time how much one of those connections would impact her life down the road. Jumping into a promising retail career with Neiman Marcus, she wasted no time rising to the top of the pack. Merry learned from great mentors and was on a path to success – until the storms of life rolled in and battered her. A nasty divorce at home, charges of kidnapping, and sexual assault at work hit her like giant body blows, nearly taking her down for the count. Everything she had loved and built had been taken away… just like that. Hurt and dazed, Merry started off on her own, desperate to rebuild the life that she had begun. Then, one day, a phone call came that would change everything. Hired on to launch a new product for a stationery company, Merry traveled across the country, rallying ninety-five sales reps and recording unbelievable results. That company was later sold and Merry was ready for her next challenge… her own store. She opened Papier Gourmet in 1996, providing the finest quality products and services for enhancing the writing experience. Merry excelled at her craft, and quickly became an etiquette authority. She also began to rack up an impressive list of high-profile clients, including President George W. Bush, Deepak Chopra, and many others. Merry learned early on in her career to never burn any bridges. This lesson served her well when her past employer referred her to a Dutch company. But standing out from her many talents, it was her dining skills that would land her next big gig. That dining etiquette so impressed a company from the Netherlands that they hired her on to represent them in the US. That meal was ultimately worth one million dollars. Merry was in her element.  Eventually, feeling it was time to expand her own business, she and her husband traveled to Poland, his birthplace, to start a new Papier Gourmet. Merry was seeing success in every business she touched. But what happened next would challenge her very identity. A client had approached and offered to buy her Maine store, which shook Merry to her core. The deal went through and soon after Merry and her husband travelled back to Poland. A few months later the managing partners of her European store bought her out as well. Though overjoyed with the success of the stores, she found herself wondering what her purpose was in life. Merry set out searching for the next chapter to unfold. Merry knew that she needed to seek some guidance. With both parents now gone Merry did not know where to turn. She felt the urge to contact someone from her past but wasn’t sure who or why. Though nervous and scared, she went for it and made the call. A few weeks later, she was in the office of none other than Charles “Tremendous” Jones. Her time with him was surreal and life-changing, just as she imagined it might be. In the end, he told her that she was born to lead and was surrounded by people waiting to be led. “So,” he had said, “when are you going to begin leading?” His words moved her deeply and the timing of their meeting was incredible, as Charles would pass away several months later. Merry was the last person he met with. She went on from there and found work training managers of a luxury retailer. She realized that she had been leading others her whole life but never really realized it. Everything she touched was turning to gold and she began to grow in her leadership skills by becoming certified as a Behavioral Analyst and as an Emotional Intelligence facilitator and trainer. She was in her element of teaching, motivating and instilling a sense of purpose in others. Then one day, the lights went out. Suddenly, Merry’s body began to stop working. Trouble walking, thinking, talking…. She tried to rest more but things just got worse. Visiting one doctor after another, none of them could find an answer. As great as things had been before, she found herself struggling to just want to live. It was a scary time. Then, one day, she found a new doctor who was able to do some tests and found that Merry was dealing with late stage Lyme disease also known as Chronic Lyme Disease. It was good to have it identified, but her body was continuing to shut down. The fear associated with Chronic Lyme Disease was becoming a constant companion and Merry wasn’t sure if she’d make it through. She needed a miracle…. And that’s just what happened. Merry and her husband heard of a treatment for Lyme Disease in Poland and although illegal in the US they decided to give it a try. It took three months in total, but in the weeks that followed, she began to see big changes. Walking, conversing, healing. It was in this time that Merry had to learn to fight for her life and what she believed in, to lead herself… to choose life. She and her husband ended up selling all that they had and began travelling, learning from Merry’s experience with Lyme Disease that each day is precious. Life certainly hadn’t turned out the way that she had imagined, but Merry still believes her Lyme Disease had been a gift. She had gone from being full of fear to becoming fearless. Today, Merry, guides women in transition to transformation; from dis-ease to well-being where they learn to successfully navigate life to find passion and purpose through self-discovery and self-care.

Merry Lynch howtobemerry.com  Growing up in a small Maine town, young Merry Lynch understood early on that she was destined for greatness…and adversity. Learning the power of focus and determination from her father, she was inspired, as well, by such greats as Zig Ziglar, Wayne W. Dyer, and Charles “Tremendous” Jones. Merry had no idea at the time how much one of those connections would impact her life down the road. Jumping into a promising retail career with Neiman Marcus, she wasted no time rising to the top of the pack. Merry learned from great mentors and was on a path to success – until the storms of life rolled in and battered her. A nasty divorce at home, charges of kidnapping, and sexual assault at work hit her like giant body blows, nearly taking her down for the count. Everything she had loved and built had been taken away… just like that. Hurt and dazed, Merry started off on her own, desperate to rebuild the life that she had begun. Then, one day, a phone call came that would change everything. Hired on to launch a new product for a stationery company, Merry traveled across the country, rallying ninety-five sales reps and recording unbelievable results. That company was later sold and Merry was ready for her next challenge… her own store. She opened Papier Gourmet in 1996, providing the finest quality products and services for enhancing the writing experience. Merry excelled at her craft, and quickly became an etiquette authority. She also began to rack up an impressive list of high-profile clients, including President George W. Bush, Deepak Chopra, and many others. Merry learned early on in her career to never burn any bridges. This lesson served her well when her past employer referred her to a Dutch company. But standing out from her many talents, it was her dining skills that would land her next big gig.
