Thinness is not the ultimate body goal. I have an issue with body goals in general, but today's episode examines how thinness has become the center of all things health and body. It's important to remove the pursuit of thinness from your health equation if you want a chance of a healthy body relationship and real confidence. Just like the 4B movement helps remind women that men should not be the center of their lives, the body confidence movement should remind women that thinness should not be the center of our health goals. Listen in for the deep dive!
Happiness comes in many forms. For you, it might be a fresh manicure, for Cydney Rechtin, it was selling everything and living in a converted van with her husband for 5 years (on and off). Cydney is a woman living life well! Her life consists of a husband, Christian marriage, COO position at a meal-prep company, and currently choosing to be child-free. There are many ways women can live life confidently, listen to our conversation to get inspiration from my good friend (and former podcast manager!) Cydney.
Hobbies don't need to become businesses. I said it!! Enjoying something and being good at it are two completely different things. On today's episode, I'm diving into this capitalist concept that anything worth doing has to have talent or money tied to it. The truth is you SHOULD do things you're bad at, even just as a reminder that you're not perfect, no one is, and it's completely okay to enjoy something without having the expectation that you're gonna make money or even become a pro.
Nooo! It happens to the best of us. I found myself having fallen out of healthy habits and routines I once had firmly established in my life. The answer? Reconnect with that version of who you used to be. Find those healthy habits again and slowly reintroduce them into your week. In this episode, I'm sharing why this happens, what to do, and things to remember during the process to keep your confidence on track.

Welcome back to Confidently She! Do you ever wonder if you're growing spiritually? Yes, maybe you're consistent with spiritual disciplines, but how do you tell if there's real growth in your heart? Proverbs says out of the heart the mouth speaks. Your actions will give you direct indications of your spiritual growth. I put together a list of 11 ways I noticed my behavior, mindset, and speech change once I truly started walking with the Lord. You can use these as indicators of your own growth - plus, look out for these characteristics when you're choosing friendships. The character of your friends quickly becomes the character of your own. Remember you can join the discussion on Substack https://open.substack.com/pub/rebekahbuege
Welcome back! Sometimes Christians forget that America is not a Christian nation. It's a nation of religious freedom, which means freedom from religion as well as the right to practice individual religions. This means, as Christians, we should never be shocked or offended when political agendas don't align with our values. It's a presidential election year in the United States, which means the republican party will attempt to harness the religious voting block regardless of their candidate's personal beliefs and values. This episode serves as a reminder, a warning, and an encouragement to prioritize unity over uniformity. Our ultimate aim is not to influence American politics, it's to live in holiness as salt + light to the world, visible through our love. Listen for an honest reality check for what is most important in the midst of an election year.
Welcome back to Confidently She! This episode is a response to 1 Thessalonians where Christians are called to live a quiet life. It feels like this goes directly against much of the themes I see at Christian conferences in America. What does it really look like to live quietly? How are we supposed to impact people when we live quietly in a world that's getting louder and louder each year? I have some thoughts and I hope it helps encourage you.

Welcome back to season five of Confidently She. In this episode, I'm walking you through the mindset of enjoyment and why it's important in my walk with God. The gifts God gives are meant to be enjoyed to the fullest. God is not stingy with his gifts. He is not withholding, even though it feels that way to us sometimes. Remember that God is a father and there's nothing parents enjoy more than seeing their child enjoy the gifts they give them. So I'm sharing the 3 necessary shifts I made to fully enjoy gifts from God. I hope you enjoy!
Everyone needs approval. Call it validation, permission, praise, etc. we all crave it. It's just part of the human condition. But why do some people desperately seek the approval of their parents, friends, or strangers on the internet? What is it about that kind of approval we crave? Find out why you seek approval from people in this episode of Confidently She. Don't forget about the Substack, join here: https://open.substack.com/pub/rebekahbuege
You hear a lot about self-love in recent years, but it's easy for this topic to start sounding a lot like self indulgence or vanity. However, don't think that it's not part of holy living in God's kingdom. In this episode, I'm sharing thoughts and examples of how God wants for his children to love who they are and grow into more of who he designed them to be. Don't forget to listen on Substack where you can comment and discuss directly with me and other listeners! https://rebekahbuege.substack.com/p/god-wants-you-to-love-yourself
Are you in a season of spiritual growth, pruning, or correction? The reality is, it's a painful process. In a culture where comfort and pleasure are prioritized, anything that hurts can be misinterpreted as cruelty. In this episode, we're talking about the goodness of correction and how even though things may be painful or uncomfortable, it's for our ultimate good.
Have you ever wondered what God's plan is for your life? This concept is thrown around a lot in Christian culture, but what does the Bible actually say about it? This gave me anxiety at first because I was afraid I would miss the plan, go off the plan, misunderstand the plan, and ultimately not live the life God had planned for me - which scared me! If you're feeling this way, feeling lost, or just want to understand what this means, listen to the episode to kick off season 5 of Confidently She! Want more episodes from Season 5 right now?

Ever heard of Maslow's hierarchy of needs? Social workers and therapists use it to assess and prioritize how to help their clients. In this episode, I'm breaking down Maslow's hierarchy of needs to show why getting your nutrition on track is the starting point for a positive body image. Don't worry, I'm not giving any specific diet or nutrition advice, it's all about the mindset and why this is absolutely vital - and how diet culture chips away at these basic human needs and leaves you vulnerable. Listen now!

Welcome to a confidence check in! This episodes reviews what confidence really looks like in practice. If you take the biased cultural portrayal of confidence (usually rich white men in business suits) out of the equation, how do you define confidence in action? Well, Rebekah is sharing these five areas to signal whether or not your confidence is growing.
Our body expectations are usually about how we look, results, and outcomes. This leaves us burnt out, striving for “better”, and comparing ourselves like crazy. What if you first prioritized the feeling you want instead? In this raw audio episode, I’m sharing my process for making my life feel really good, how I improved my body image over time, and ways you can reflect on your body relationship to make intentional improvements.

Feel good in your body this summer by not letting bikini shopping stress you out! In this quick episode, I’m sharing how I deal with swimwear these days and my mindset about clothes shopping in general. End the swimsuit drama for good and give your body a well deserved break.
Body image issues typically come from childhood and how we heard our parents speaking about their bodies and saw them treating their bodies. No matter what your parents body image was or how they parented you, they were limited just like all humans. There’s a powerful transition that happens when children grow into adults and now can see their parents as peers. This voice note attempts to explain how to get the love they didn’t give you and stop seeking it from an unwilling source.
We’ve been conditioned to think being perfect is the only way we will be valuable or loved, but in my experience, the more people show me their vulnerability, their fears, and their shortcomings the more care and compassion I feel for them. Why should it be any different with how we see ourselves? In this voice note, I’m talking about how the concept of perfection can be harmful, and get in the way of us, enjoying the nuances of life.
Confidence is a skill like anything else and you have to be OK with being a beginner if you ever want to feel like a master. The best way to build confidence in your body, your job, in your public speaking ability, etc is through consistent imperfection. This is how you learn and I hope this raw, unedited audio helps show you everyone is imperfect and you don’t have to be flawless to be valuable.
I learned I had mental health issues because of my body image. I didn't think of the two as related, I just thought that's how I thought about myself. But a negative body image is definitely a mental health issue. You can’t have a conversation about mental health without including body image and I think that’s overlooked in the conversation, so I'm talking about it on this episode.
Body image isn't something you have to "manage" or "deal with" it's something you can fix! It's a powerful tool in strengthening your mental health (not to mention it does wonders for your physical health, too!)

Negative body talk is normalized in our culture to a point you might not realize you're doing it. It's become its own genre of comedy, especially for women, but I'd like to UN normalize this kind of thing. We shouldn't make fun of our bodies in an attempt to avoid criticism or "say it before someone else does" that's not what confident women do. Confident women over come negative body talk and this episode gives you my strategies and tips for how to have positive self talk.

Do you want peace and joy in your relationship with food & exercise? Believe it or not, God has a plan for that. You might wonder, what does my body relationship have to do with holiness and godliness? What does being christian have to do with body image?Well, let's talk about it. In this episode, I'm covering the tension between how the world views bodies and how God views them. Since we are made in the image of God, it's no surprise that God has something to say about what we eat and how we care for our bodies. This episode outlines the mindset and heart posture towards our bodies I see God desiring for his children.

Raise your hand if you've been personally victimized by purity culture?? Religion has a lot to say about how women should dress, but what does scripture actually say? What does God's heart say in this? How does the fact women are also created in the image of God influence how he designed women to exist in this world? In this episode, Rebekah addresses personal style, modesty, and cultural conditioning around "appropriate" dress code.

Giving money away releases the grip it has on your heart. This is what I learned from giving 10% of each paycheck to church and charity over 2022. Scripture calls this tithing, but for a long time I didn't do it. When we choose American traditions and culture over God's advice for holy living, we start putting our trust in things other than God. Listen in for how my financial journey of 2022 shaped me spiritually. I hope this encourages you and brings new perspectives on your relationship with money, tithing, church, and how God provides in all our lives.

Dating in 2023 is crazy. There's a lot of advice out there for how to date as a christian and what christian dating should look like, but have we stopped to ask if it's really part of the Christian calling? If you attend any church service in America, you might think it's a requirement for membership. In this episode, Rebekah challenges confusing "The American Dream" with God's plan and considers 1 Corinthians 7 when Paul wrote that it's better for christians who are single to "remain as they are" rather than get married. Perhaps God is, again, trying to save us from struggles, distractions, heartbreak, and more by encouraging singleness. Listen in to get reassurance that singleness is not a disease to be cured, but a powerful (recommended) status for members of the church body.

Most health goals are really just vanity metrics. You probably learned this from companies like Beachbody and WeightWatchers that used things like inches, pounds, and dress sizes to measure success of their health programs. But that's not health, it's vanity. Just like with Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, some creators want millions of followers, while others want to make an impact in people's lives. It's possible to do both, but when you're chasing the metrics it's easy to burn out and lose focus of what's important. Listen to this episode to get all the tea on how to set good health goals, the cringy rebrand of Beachbody, and why people are trolling WeightWatchers on Twitter.

If you've considered getting implants, a nose job, etc. you'll like this episode. Here's why I don't agree with the "it doesn't impact anyone except me" response to questions about cosmetic surgery, implants, and fillers. In this episode, you'll hear me break down a few points of consideration most people don't think about when weighing the pro's and con's of these procedures. Putting aside all the health risks, cost, side effects, etc. I'm bringing to light humanist and feminist perspectives of racial appropriation, generational confusion, and economic disparity. These treatments and surgeries widen the economic gap of beauty where the rich can be beautiful and the poor cannot. There must be a deeper level of accountability in how we approach these decisions, and my hope is people stop.

I don't have all the answers, and I want to be a voice you can listen to when you're struggling. I'm right there with you and working out my own challenges in different areas of life. One thing on my mind lately has been the pressure to have your art, book, podcast, music, or hot takes go viral simply because it's possible. Everyone talks about making money doing something you love, but is that what we are designed for? I'm not sure. This episode was straight off the dome because honestly I had no idea what to talk about. Sometimes (a lot of the time) I bite off more than I can chew and over commit to things in an effort to "hold myself accountable" See? I'm still trying to tame my inner perfectionist and high achiever. I'm still learning how to rest and find rhythms of healthy productivity.
Confidence is not the same for everyone. Especially with body confidence, not everyone is going to have a goal of wearing a bikini all summer or going without makeup.

When do you block a guy for hitting on you? Immediately. That's my new answer. Lots of women feel like it's "mean" to block a guy who DMs them with a "compliment" but is that really what he's doing? Or is he sexualizing you right off the bat and making you feel uncomfortable. In this episode, I'm telling the story of why I've recently been on a blocking spree on Instagram, how blocking men strengthens my confidence, and why you should, too.

Your triggers are signs of where you need healing. People have not always used the same words as insults and compliments. Educating yourself on how other people see the world and what used to be considered attractive, desirable, etc. helps you disarm words that are triggering for you. Body image is shaped by your experience and not everyone experiences the same thing. What is an insult to you might be a compliment to someone else. Listen to this episode to hear about where some of my insecurities came from, my ex who gave my a body image complex, and how I armed myself with tools to disarm triggering words. You'll learn how to breakdown the words you feel insulted (and gassed up) by and build true confidence.

Do you know the phases of your menstrual cycle? Yeah, I didn't think so. One reason there's so much shame and taboo around periods is American culture has done an incredible job NOT teaching this in a way that makes any sense to anyone. Listen to this episode to learn about the four phases of a menstrual cycle, my personal period tracking hacks and tips, and why your period is important in healing your body image and increasing confidence.

Exhausted by all the beauty expectations and cultural pressures placed on women? Same. Believe it or not, weight isn't the only body image issue women struggle with. With all the products marketed to women to change how you look, there are about 1 billion things you could feel self conscious about. So no, body image isn't just about weight. Many, many, many physically fit women struggle with body insecurities (me being one of them) so this episode is breaking down why that is, other things we feel insecure about, and what to actually focus on instead to build your confidence.

The thing about body image is you always think looking better will make you happier, increase your confidence, and all the things commercials promise. Here's what I've learned, better never really comes. Why? Because if you don't change how you think about your body, your brain will always find a new version of "better" to chase.

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.

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)

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.
The more confident and secure you are in yourself, the better friendships you will attract.
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. Tune into this episode to learn how to make meaningful friendships as an adult (and how to prune the bad ones).

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.
This episode will help you learn how.

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? Listen to this episode to hear me unravel allll of this.

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. This is one of my favorite topics because this is what helped me shift the quickest and gave me the most light bulb moment.

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 😉 ). Once you know your love language or languages, ask yourself this....How have you been giving and/or withholding this from your body? Listen to hear how I use my love languages to practice self-love and to better love my body.

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. Once you know who you are, you're going 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.

There's a lot of good stuff in this episode. Culture criticizes things women like to do, drink, say, or how we generally act. It's so normalized, you might be surprised to hear the examples covered during this episode. I'm sharing a few personal examples of how I pretended to like things so I would come off more attractive (yikes). The purpose of this episode is to challenge why you resist certain things you like that are considered "girly" and why "girly" things are bad (spoiler: they aren't) growing in confidence comes from exploring who you are, what you like, and being honest with yourself about what you find. This is a MUST listen for anyone struggling to let themselves be free. Enjoy!

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. In my work with clients, I developed an 8 step program to go from self conscious to self confident in the exact same body. This episode covers step one.

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. Listen in on my approach to thinking about haters, who to listen to, and how to stay grounded in who you are in this super important episode!

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. Listen for how to think about dating, relationships, and life as a confident, equipped Queen.

When someone calls you fat, remember that used to be a compliment. The way culture defines beauty changes every decade, so don't feel bad about not fitting into the current standard. Why does this standard keep changing? Listen to the episode to find out (hint: it's about money)

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. Welcome to the Foundations series of Confidently She. These episodes are designed to give you an inside look at my approach to body anxiety and femininity. Confidently She is the perspective you're missing to own your self worth, build solid self trust, and develop body confidence. So you can enjoy your incredible life (let's just be honest). This is only the beginning - check out all the tools and trainings at www.confidentlyshepodcast.com. Here's the thing, with all the voices telling you you're not enough (or too much) I'm here to point out the fact you have all the raw materials you need - and show you how to trust your intuition to turn them into a masterpiece life, unique to you.

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.

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 living in a patriarchal culture) 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.

Struggling to love your body? Obsessed with your weight? Blaming your coffee creamer for those extra 4 pounds? I've been there. Queens don't have time to stress about that.
