Podcaster Carmen Hecox is passionate about helping women navigate midlife with more confidence and purpose. She interviewed Shane about his 3 components of self-confidence, what gets in the way, and how to overcome. (Not a surprise: This advice works for men and women of every age!) Some nuggets:
- A quiet mind, calm heart, and self-compassion lead to inner peace
- Competence in an area + positive feedback -> increased confidence
- "It's not the wounds of our lives that harm us but the stories we tell ourselves."
- Challenge the negative beliefs about yourself
- Connections--to your family, friends, higher power--are all important resources
- Take a time out when you're flooded emotionally
- Find an accountability partner/group that challenges you
- "Part of life is sitting through hard emotions and finding more healthy coping."
- How to regulate our "emotional temperature"
