LISTENER OF THE EPISODE:

Hi Trish!

I’ve recently found your podcasts while I was at a bit of a low point. I’ve been on an “up and up” journey for almost 2 years now, beating depression and finding the gym and yoga and physical activity as a way to cope with stress. I moved across the country almost 4 months ago and in those 4 months I joined a company that focuses 110% on personal development and growth and have become dedicated to learning the ins and outs of confidence and personal growth and all sorts of skills that link to my personal and work lives. Unfortunately, about a month ago I realized I was slipping into old views and thoughts and I was really down and I think it came mainly from focusing so entirely on growth in the company versus personal growth. I had stopped focusing on increasing my self esteem and confidence and so much on trying to be a better salesperson and when I wasn’t getting results, it just pushed my self esteem and confidence down. I am on a mission to become a manager before the end of November, which is a completely attainable goal, but my spurt of low self confidence and low self esteem could have tarnished that. It was at this point that I started looking for other inspiration and found your podcasts. I usually listen to one or two a day, after the gym and sometimes I’ll listen to ones that resonate with me a couple times over. I just wanted to say thank you for reminding me of some of the lessons I’ve learned and just needed to hear again and also for teaching me some new ones. At the moment, coaching and the college of confidence are out of my budget but I look forward to fitting it into the budget as soon as I can. Thanks again, have a fantastic Wednesday 😊
