Speaker 1: When you meet someone who's arrogant or overcompensating, as I
Speaker 1: was saying, often it's because they're feeling and insecurity. So
Speaker 1: when you send some arrogance from someone, you can actually
Speaker 1: if you really pay attential and you notice that they're
Speaker 1: actually dealing with a deep insecurity. And what that changes
Speaker 1: is that you now realize that it's not that that
Speaker 1: person is overconfident or that they think that much of themselves,
Speaker 1: it's actually that they probably don't think enough of themselves. Hey, everyone,
Speaker 1: welcome back to our purpose to number one health podcast
Speaker 1: in the world. Thanks to each and every single one
Speaker 1: of you that come back every week to listen, learn
Speaker 1: and grow. Now today we're talking about insecurities. We all
Speaker 1: have them, we all experience them. And whether you're someone
Speaker 1: that considers yourself to be confident or as most of
Speaker 1: your life together, I'm still sure that you have moments
Speaker 1: in your days, your weeks, your months, your years where
Speaker 1: you feel insecure. Think about it for a moment. When
Speaker 1: was the last time you felt insecure? Was it this
Speaker 1: week at a dinner table over a conversation. Maybe it
Speaker 1: was about a subject that you don't know so much about,
Speaker 1: and you felt that everyone around you was highly educated
Speaker 1: or had an interesting opinion about it, you didn't even
Speaker 1: know what they're talking about, Or did you feel insecure
Speaker 1: on a work zoom call because someone had lots of
Speaker 1: great questions, lots of great ideas. Maybe they came up
Speaker 1: with something that was rewarded or talked of highly by
Speaker 1: your colleagues and peers. But maybe people didn't love your idea,
Speaker 1: or you didn't even feel that you had something to offer,
Speaker 1: or maybe you felt insecure in your partnership. Maybe you
Speaker 1: weren't feeling the attention from your partner, Maybe you were
Speaker 1: feeling a sense of discomfort and they didn't notice or
Speaker 1: they didn't recognize it. The incredible thing about insecurities are
Speaker 1: they show up in so many different places. They show
Speaker 1: up personally, professionally with our partners, with our parents, they
Speaker 1: show up in each and every area of our life.
Speaker 1: And the interesting thing about insecurities is that if you
Speaker 1: do nothing about them, they continue to grow, They continue
Speaker 1: to get worse. If you ignore them and just hope
Speaker 1: that they're going to go away one day, Unfortunately they don't. Now.
Speaker 1: I was reading an article on Vogue that I found
Speaker 1: to be really, really fascinating and they were talking about
Speaker 1: how the survey that they did found that approximately nine
Speaker 1: people could remember the first time they experienced an insecurity
Speaker 1: and where they were when it happened, and the average
Speaker 1: age that respondents could recall first developing insecurity was sixteen.
Speaker 1: And the finding show that men were thirty five percent
Speaker 1: more likely than women to have first been insecure about
Speaker 1: their personalities or abilities, while women were sixteen point eight
Speaker 1: percent more likely to have first developed insecurities about their bodies.
Speaker 1: And I know you can relate to that. I know
Speaker 1: we can all relate to that. Now. The study and
Speaker 1: the article went on to say that about fifty nine
Speaker 1: percent of people who responded that they deal with body
Speaker 1: image issues said that insecurities were initially brought on by
Speaker 1: other people's comments. However, in contrast, most people who struggle
Speaker 1: with feeling insecure about their personalities, abilities, or aspects of
Speaker 1: their personal life responded that those negative thoughts have largely
Speaker 1: been self imposed. Notice how fascinating that is that if
Speaker 1: it's about your body, it's based on other people's comments,
Speaker 1: and those comments mayn't even have been directly to you.
Speaker 1: Sometimes they are I saw this great video on TikTok
Speaker 1: i came across the other day and I was scrolling
Speaker 1: through my four you page and I found this guy.
Speaker 1: But he was talking about how he posted a video
Speaker 1: a couple of days before, and it was a video,
Speaker 1: I believe at the No Time to Die Double O
Speaker 1: seven premiere, and it was one of those cameras that
Speaker 1: kind of goes around the base, right, it does this
Speaker 1: three sixty thing and you stand in the middle. So
Speaker 1: he'd posted that, and he said that that post got
Speaker 1: over ten thousand negative comments, ten thousand negative comments, and
Speaker 1: they were all directly towards him, and they were all
Speaker 1: making jokes about his body. And so he was reading
Speaker 1: out some of the comments and I'm trying to remember
Speaker 1: what some of them said, but some of them were
Speaker 1: called yet this wasn't Casino Royal, It's Chicken roy out
Speaker 1: the man with the Golden Gut. There were just so
Speaker 1: many examples of negative comments, and he said something. He
Speaker 1: said that he could take them as lighthearted, banter and fun,
Speaker 1: but he said there are people out there who will
Speaker 1: be thinking about this until they go to sleep. And
Speaker 1: he said, please, everyone who's leaving these comments, please please
Speaker 1: please take a moment to realize there's a human on
Speaker 1: the other side of the screen. And we can see
Speaker 1: that through this study that so many of our body
Speaker 1: image issues, sixty nearly say it comes from other people's comments.
Speaker 1: So that's when the comments are directly at you, but
Speaker 1: often it comes from comments about weight, about physical image
Speaker 1: that is just said in your vicinity. And so what
Speaker 1: does this teach us? What are we learning here when
Speaker 1: we have an insecurity about our body image. What we're
Speaker 1: learning is that what we hear, what we read, what
Speaker 1: we see is going to inform what we think we
Speaker 1: should be. What we hear, what we read, what we
Speaker 1: see is going to inform who we think we should be.
Speaker 1: So if we're only reading gossip magazines, if we're only
Speaker 1: seeing what the mainstream media wants us to see, if
Speaker 1: we're only hearing and reading that, we're going to feel
Speaker 1: pressure to be that. This is group think bias because
Speaker 1: you're surrounded by a group that thinks or feels a
Speaker 1: certain way, and therefore you adopt the same behaviors and mindsets.
Speaker 1: So have you been struggling with your body image for
Speaker 1: a long time? I want you to think about what
Speaker 1: are you reading, what are you hearing, and what are
Speaker 1: you seeing the most and how could you now this
Speaker 1: week read here and see different things. I want you
Speaker 1: to expose yourself to campaigns that have a positive body image.
Speaker 1: I want you to follow people on social media that
Speaker 1: you believe are impactful towards you and your beliefs on
Speaker 1: body image. See, we can't always change from the inside
Speaker 1: out if we don't start from the outside in. Sometimes
Speaker 1: can be either all. But if you're someone who struggled
Speaker 1: for a while, we need to start changing your environment.
Speaker 1: And I want you to deeply think about this because
Speaker 1: body image is something that we all struggle with and
Speaker 1: it's something that we're constantly identifying with as ourselves now.
Speaker 1: In the bugared Gheta, which is the book that I
Speaker 1: talk about, the first lesson in the bugwad Gheta is
Speaker 1: you are the soul, not the body, and C. S.
Speaker 1: Lewis interprets that best, in my opinion, he said, you
Speaker 1: don't have a soul. You are the soul and you
Speaker 1: have a body. And it's amazing that something we have
Speaker 1: has become what we use to define how we feel
Speaker 1: about ourselves. It's like saying, I let my clothes define
Speaker 1: who I am, because your body is just simply something
Speaker 1: you're wearing on top of your consciousness, and you're letting
Speaker 1: that which is simply material and physical, define how you
Speaker 1: feel about yourself. Imagine you let your clothes define how
Speaker 1: you feel about yourself. It's incredible to think that. But
Speaker 1: we're doing that with our body, which is a garment,
Speaker 1: which is a set of clothes. Now that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: we shouldn't take care of our clothes. It doesn't mean
Speaker 1: we shouldn't take care of our body. But we also
Speaker 1: have to realize that we are not our bodies. So
Speaker 1: when it comes to body images, again, it's coming through
Speaker 1: other people's thoughts, other people's comments. Let's really reflect on that.
Speaker 1: But it then says that our nargative thoughts about our
Speaker 1: personality or abilities usually comes from our own mind. So
Speaker 1: now it's not even about everyone else out there. Now,
Speaker 1: it's not even about the opinions, expectations, the reflections, the projections.
Speaker 1: It's about us. That voice in your head, that inner
Speaker 1: critic that says you didn't come up with a good idea,
Speaker 1: you don't know what you're doing, you're not good enough,
Speaker 1: you're not smart enough. What do we do about that voice?
Speaker 1: What we have to do with that voice is we
Speaker 1: have to communicate with it. If you try to ignore
Speaker 1: that voice, it will get louder and louder and louder,
Speaker 1: like an alarm, because what that voice is doing is
Speaker 1: showing you something that you may want to improve. It's
Speaker 1: a signal and an alert. So if I'm at a
Speaker 1: conference and I'm about to speak, I've been invited there
Speaker 1: to give a keynote, to do a Q and A,
Speaker 1: to do a fireside chat, and I'm listening to the
Speaker 1: speaker before me, and let's say the speaker is speaking
Speaker 1: about something I know nothing about. My insecurity signal goes
Speaker 1: up and I think, oh, maybe I need to know
Speaker 1: about this. I know nothing about this, and in that moment,
Speaker 1: the alarm is so loud you can't make a clear decision.
Speaker 1: So what I'll do is I'll sit with that later
Speaker 1: on and I'll say, well, do I really want to
Speaker 1: learn about that. This actually happened recently. I was at
Speaker 1: a conference. I was hearing someone talk about crypto and
Speaker 1: NFTs and blockchain, and I know a fair bit from
Speaker 1: my digital background, but I haven't immersed myself in it.
Speaker 1: And I walked away thinking that's what I need to know,
Speaker 1: And then I started spending more time on it, and
Speaker 1: I realized that as much as I find it interesting
Speaker 1: and I want to be involved in the space, it's
Speaker 1: not something I want to obsess over. And so the
Speaker 1: first point is you're opened up to the signal. You
Speaker 1: then want to make time for yourself to reflect, consider
Speaker 1: and really what I would say is assess your desire
Speaker 1: to be involved, and then you get to make a decision.
Speaker 1: Don't make a decision before it's moved on from being
Speaker 1: a distraction. What we do is we make the distraction
Speaker 1: our decision, but you can wait a bit longer and
Speaker 1: decipher whether it truly is something that you want to
Speaker 1: care about. So this article is brilliant by the way
Speaker 1: that I'm sharing some of the studies from it says
Speaker 1: that the good news is that developing insecurities when you're
Speaker 1: young doesn't mean they'll stay with you forever. In fact,
Speaker 1: the survey found that over fifty percent of women and
Speaker 1: over fifty nine percent of men surveyed now feel that
Speaker 1: they fully come to love and accept themselves and so
Speaker 1: dealing with insecurities. Their study shows gets better with age,
Speaker 1: and it talks about how actively working on loving things
Speaker 1: about yourself one step at a time may help to
Speaker 1: find self acceptance. And this is something that really blows
Speaker 1: me away. It's the definition of confidence. I checked this
Speaker 1: a few years back and it really stuck with me.
Speaker 1: So confidence is a feeling of self assurance arising from
Speaker 1: one's appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities. Notice how
Speaker 1: confidence doesn't come from other people valuing you, validating you.
Speaker 1: It comes from you valuing and validating yourself. So let
Speaker 1: me ask you that question. Now, when was the last
Speaker 1: time you did that? When was the last time you
Speaker 1: sat down? And I want you right now to own
Speaker 1: a piece of paper, And I'm going to do this
Speaker 1: while I'm talking to you, because I believe it's so important.
Speaker 1: I want you to grab a pen and piece of
Speaker 1: paper sitting at my friend's desk, so I'm about to
Speaker 1: do this on his but I'm about to just put
Speaker 1: a line down the middle of the page, and I
Speaker 1: want you to write on one side abilities, and on
Speaker 1: the other side, I want you to write down qualities.
Speaker 1: And I want you to make a list of your
Speaker 1: abilities that you value and your qualities that you value.
Speaker 1: So one of my abilities that I value is my
Speaker 1: ability to communicate effectively. I believe that I'm able to understand, synthesize,
Speaker 1: make things really simple, accessible, practical, actionable. And by the way,
Speaker 1: it's hard for me to say that, because I start
Speaker 1: thinking about it, I said, oh wow, am I being egotistic? A?
Speaker 1: Am I being arrogant? Are people going to judge me?
Speaker 1: But I'm not saying it from a place of arrogant.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to just live up to this definition that
Speaker 1: is given of confidence. I want to be confident. I
Speaker 1: don't want to be arrogant. I don't want to be narcissistic.
Speaker 1: Confidence is a feeling of self assurance, arising from one's
Speaker 1: appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities. Now, let me
Speaker 1: think of a quality. I believe that I'm a loyal person.
Speaker 1: I really believe I'm a loyal person. I stick by people.
Speaker 1: I know your loyal listeners, and I appreciate you for that.
Speaker 1: Loyalty is a very important quality to me. So I
Speaker 1: want you to make a list of the abilities and
Speaker 1: qualities that you have, and I want you to appreciate
Speaker 1: yourself for a second. Now, you may not love yourself
Speaker 1: when you say these, but I promise you that the
Speaker 1: more you notice this, the more you learn to love yourself.
Speaker 1: You're practicing it. See, first we have to be aware
Speaker 1: of who we are. Then we have to practice that.
Speaker 1: So now that you're aware of these you're going to
Speaker 1: beat them more. You're going to be more loyal. I'm
Speaker 1: going to be more communicative. And what that leads to
Speaker 1: is love. Because now I've made myself aware, then I
Speaker 1: practice it, Then I love. Love starts with awareness and
Speaker 1: then practice. When you write down what you're aware of
Speaker 1: that you love about yourself, then you practice it more,
Speaker 1: you become it more, you love yourself more. It's a
Speaker 1: beautiful methodology. So first you have to become aware. Now
Speaker 1: on this list, I want you to choose one quality
Speaker 1: every single day, one quality for a week to share.
Speaker 1: So let's say my quality, as I said, was loyalty.
Speaker 1: I can think about lowerty and I can say, how
Speaker 1: can I experience loyalty? How can I share loyalty with
Speaker 1: this person? How can my loyalty help them? Or another
Speaker 1: quality that I may say that I have is my
Speaker 1: ability to listen or that's an ability. There you go.
Speaker 1: I said ability to listen. So if you have the
Speaker 1: ability to listen, let me now be more of them.
Speaker 1: I of myself for listening. This is how we also
Speaker 1: detach from our body when we realized that we have
Speaker 1: qualities and abilities beyond our body to offer to others,
Speaker 1: to offer to ourselves. See, we've been brought up to
Speaker 1: believe that the only thing we have to offer to
Speaker 1: someone is our body and our appearance. And when you
Speaker 1: feel that way, you question yourself at every step. But
Speaker 1: when you really dive into what are my abilities and
Speaker 1: qualities that I can offer to others, beautiful things can happen.
Speaker 1: One key finding from the survey shows that sixty two
Speaker 1: percent of people who felt positively about their personalities and
Speaker 1: abilities above their bodies or other aspects of their life
Speaker 1: felt best about themselves. The study proves that how fascinating
Speaker 1: is that no matter how you feel about your body,
Speaker 1: if you really value your qualities and your abilities, that
Speaker 1: will supersede how you feel about your body. Again, that
Speaker 1: doesn't mean you neglect your body. It's just learning to
Speaker 1: love yourself for who you truly are. Now, this is
Speaker 1: really really interesting to me. Approximately forty five point nine
Speaker 1: percent of survey participants cited caring less about other people's
Speaker 1: opinions as the reason they've come to accept themselves nineteen
Speaker 1: point six percent of people said their religion or spirituality
Speaker 1: helped them, and fifteen point seven percent had help from
Speaker 1: family or friends, and eight point eight percent of respondents
Speaker 1: said they got help from a therapist. Now, let's just
Speaker 1: look at that, not thinking about other people's opinions. Spirituality
Speaker 1: which has community, family of friends, in therapy right down
Speaker 1: those right now? How strong are those for you? Are
Speaker 1: you seeing a therapist right now or a coach? Are
Speaker 1: you spiritually connected or religiously connected? Do you have family
Speaker 1: or friends around you that deeply understand you. Remember, it's
Speaker 1: not about the number, It's not about the amount of people. Remember,
Speaker 1: it's all about the depth, right, It's all about the depth.
Speaker 1: So what I really want you to consider here is
Speaker 1: what are the habits that you practice that you think
Speaker 1: are signs that you are experiencing insecurity and you want
Speaker 1: to address them in this way. One of the first
Speaker 1: signs of insecurity, which isn't often seen, is saying yes
Speaker 1: to everyone, being a people pleaser, Because what we're saying
Speaker 1: is that I only feel secure when someone else feels
Speaker 1: that I am making them secure. How amazing is that
Speaker 1: we are feeling. We're trying to say that our sense
Speaker 1: of security is based on us feeling like we make
Speaker 1: someone else feel secure, But how can we help someone
Speaker 1: else feel secure if we don't feel secure within ourselves.
Speaker 1: Another one is that we always criticize others. I find
Speaker 1: this to be fascinating. Sometimes I'll be appreciating someone and
Speaker 1: I can tell that someone may not even know this person,
Speaker 1: but they can't bring themselves to appreciate them because they
Speaker 1: feel that it somehow reflects negatively on them. Right. So,
Speaker 1: I have a friend who's very ambitious and driven, and
Speaker 1: a lot of people around him will criticize him because
Speaker 1: his ambition and drive reminds them of their own lack
Speaker 1: of it. And when you start criticizing someone, start asking yourself,
Speaker 1: am I criticizing them because I'm insecure? And what your
Speaker 1: mind will do is you will justify in another way.
Speaker 1: You say no, no no, no, they're a bad person, they've
Speaker 1: done bad stuff. No, no, no, they're the right person.
Speaker 1: But then think about it, sit there and think about it.
Speaker 1: Are you really doing it because you have and insecurity.
Speaker 1: I've done this exercise myself and I realized that it
Speaker 1: helped me understand that I was insecure because I wasn't
Speaker 1: conscious of my own abilities and my qualities and I
Speaker 1: wasn't practicing them enough. Actually, when you let yourself criticize
Speaker 1: someone else, you become those qualities. So now you lose
Speaker 1: yourself completely because you start to do that. Let's say
Speaker 1: you don't like someone complains, Now you complain about them complaining.
Speaker 1: What have you become? You become a complainer. Let's say
Speaker 1: you don't like someone who criticizes, but you're criticizing them,
Speaker 1: You've now become someone you don't love and like. Let's
Speaker 1: say you don't like someone one because of how they
Speaker 1: treat their friends. Ask yourself, honestly, have you ever done
Speaker 1: that to someone that you were friends with. It's so
Speaker 1: important to remove insecurities from within ourself by pulling out
Speaker 1: the route and trying to change ourselves, not forcing it
Speaker 1: to be changing anyone else. So when it comes to
Speaker 1: your insecurities, please don't avoid them and look out for
Speaker 1: where they start to grow. Another way they start to
Speaker 1: grow is in our constant seeking a validation. Right, how
Speaker 1: many people do you know where they're constantly checking how
Speaker 1: everyone feels about everything they do. Right, You're always trying
Speaker 1: to be like, well, what do you think about this?
Speaker 1: Do you think it's a good idea. Yeah, I should
Speaker 1: do this right. And so when you see yourself falling
Speaker 1: into that trap, ask yourself, why am I doing this?
Speaker 1: Why am I going through this? Why am I checking
Speaker 1: with myself? Why don't I feel confident in myself? And
Speaker 1: the third way we do it is we do it
Speaker 1: through overcompensating, right, overcompensate for how we feel about something. So,
Speaker 1: to me, insecurity is something that I've dealt with throughout
Speaker 1: my whole life. And you actually find that a lot
Speaker 1: of people, their careers, their journeys are compensating for an
Speaker 1: insecurity they felt. So some people chase success and fame
Speaker 1: because they felt unwanted when they were younger. Some people
Speaker 1: chase money because they felt unstable when they were younger.
Speaker 1: So our pursuit is based on our insecurity. Now, this
Speaker 1: is something that we really have to think about because
Speaker 1: if your pursuit is based on your insecurity, when you
Speaker 1: conquer that pursuit, when you get to the top, you
Speaker 1: will still feel insecure. Think about that for a moment.
Speaker 1: If your pursuit is based on an insecurity, even when
Speaker 1: you accomplish that pursuit, you will still feel insecure because
Speaker 1: the insecurity did not come from a lack of that thing.
Speaker 1: The insecurity came from a lack of you feeling you
Speaker 1: had that, a feeling that you can create that. Right,
Speaker 1: It wasn't that you didn't have fame or success. It's
Speaker 1: that you felt rejected or you felt isolated or lonely.
Speaker 1: So you believe that successful fame would feel that, But
Speaker 1: actually it was a different healing that was required. You're
Speaker 1: almost applying the wrong medicine to the wrong thing. When
Speaker 1: you make money. What that gives you is money, which
Speaker 1: is great, but it doesn't give you stability, security, a
Speaker 1: feeling of confidence, because that can only come from that thing.
Speaker 1: It's like saying I'm flying to New Orleans, but I'm
Speaker 1: expecting to land in LA. It doesn't work like that.
Speaker 1: It's a different ticket, right, Developing confidence and becoming successful
Speaker 1: are different planes, and we're taking one hoping for the
Speaker 1: other one to happen. So I just really don't know
Speaker 1: how that ever became the way we live. But as
Speaker 1: you can see, it's a recipe for a lot of
Speaker 1: long term challenges and issues in our lives. And I
Speaker 1: wanted to share this too that a lot of people
Speaker 1: when I first met them, I thought that they were egotistic,
Speaker 1: or I thought that they were arrogant, or I thought
Speaker 1: that they were cold, and I realized they were just insecure.
Speaker 1: When you meet someone who's arrogant or overcompensating, as I
Speaker 1: was saying, or you meet someone who's cold, or you
Speaker 1: meet someone who's kind of feels cocky, often it's because
Speaker 1: they're feeling and insecurity. So when you send some arrogance
Speaker 1: from someone, you can actually if you really pay attention,
Speaker 1: and you'll notice that they're actually dealing with a deep insecurity.
Speaker 1: And what that changes is that you now realize that
Speaker 1: it's not that that person is overconfident or that they
Speaker 1: think that much of themselves. It's actually that they probably
Speaker 1: don't think enough of themselves. Right, we think that people
Speaker 1: think too much of themselves. Actually they don't think enough
Speaker 1: of themselves, and that's why they end up in that position. So,
Speaker 1: if you have a friend who's dealing with insecurity, you
Speaker 1: may think telling them that they're amazing or telling them
Speaker 1: that they do something really well will solve that insecurity. Now,
Speaker 1: the reason that doesn't work is because when you give
Speaker 1: that glorification or those statements to someone, they now think
Speaker 1: they have to constantly give up to that, so that
Speaker 1: creates another sense of insecurity. So let's say they did
Speaker 1: something well and you said you did that really well,
Speaker 1: They're now insecure that they won't be able to do
Speaker 1: it again. So actually, when you're working with someone who
Speaker 1: has insecurity, or you have a friend or family member
Speaker 1: who has high insecurities, and from your outside perspective, you're
Speaker 1: confused because they look amazing, they're doing amazing, successful in
Speaker 1: their own right, and you're wondering, how is this person anxious?
Speaker 1: Let me remind them of how great they are. It's
Speaker 1: actually helping that person remember how great they are. You
Speaker 1: reminding them or remembering how great they are is not enough.
Speaker 1: They need to develop that muscle, right, They need to
Speaker 1: develop that skill. You telling someone you believe in them
Speaker 1: is different from them believing in themselves, and you believing
Speaker 1: in them sometimes actually makes themselves doubt themselves more because
Speaker 1: they're scared they can't live up to your belief. And
Speaker 1: I did this for a long time. I literally should
Speaker 1: tell people how amazing they are, how incredible they are.
Speaker 1: I'd be specific about it, and I started to realize
Speaker 1: that was part of it, but that didn't solve the issue.
Speaker 1: I had to help them build the skill. That's why
Speaker 1: this activity I've given you today, write down your abilities,
Speaker 1: write down your qualities. If you encourage them to do that,
Speaker 1: If you do this, if you share this podcast episode
Speaker 1: with your friends, and you do that together, you'll start
Speaker 1: to see incredible benefits even in your community. Because guess what,
Speaker 1: if all of you are discovering your passions, if all
Speaker 1: of you are understanding your strengths, your qualities, You're going
Speaker 1: to be in an atmosphere of a group of people
Speaker 1: with high self esteem. And when you're in that group,
Speaker 1: you're going to learn from each other, You're going to
Speaker 1: grow together. There's going to be a lot more abundance
Speaker 1: in that space. I want to thank you so much
Speaker 1: for listening to on Purpose, for your ongoing commitment. I
Speaker 1: deeply appreciate each and every single one of you so much,
Speaker 1: and I want to share with you some incredible reviews
Speaker 1: that you all left. And here we go. So, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's so many, I'm just scrolling through trying to find one.
Speaker 1: Here's Murlock Holmes. I really enjoyed listening to this podcast.
Speaker 1: First of all, Jay's voice is so soothing and motivating.
Speaker 1: Thank you so much. Secondly, the topics covered and guest
Speaker 1: speakers are great for real world applications. I've sent so
Speaker 1: many links to my friends they probably think I'm a sponsor.
Speaker 1: Love the information and practicality of it, and sometimes I
Speaker 1: just laugh because it feels like they are speaking directly
Speaker 1: to me in my situation. Great podcast, definitely worth a listen,
Speaker 1: Merlock Holmes, Thank you so much. This one is from
Speaker 1: t Perry. Someone suggested I Rethink like a Monk about
Speaker 1: a year ago, and I've been hanging on every word
Speaker 1: j she has said ever since. This podcast has changed
Speaker 1: the way I communicate, spend my time and energy, what

Speaker 1: from Mel crying right now because there's so much I
Speaker 1: relate to here. We all go through trauma, and I've
Speaker 1: really been bad at putting myself down and accepting that

Speaker 1: against all the odds. I deserve love and abundance, and
Speaker 1: so does everyone else. The beauty held within me is
Speaker 1: so much more than anything else I see it when
Speaker 1: I look at people walking by genuine love and empathy
Speaker 1: I have for others have many layers, and every layer
Speaker 1: is important. I hope you'll remember that I see you,
Speaker 1: I acknowledge you, and I appreciate you, and I can't
Speaker 1: wait for you to apply one thing from this podcast
