Episode show notes
In episode 79 of the Soulfully Confident Podcast, we are talking all about conquering our insecurities (because who doesn't want to do that?) I have a very strong self-belief, but it is constantly challenged by the busyness of my mind. I am not perfect, but I’ve spent a good amount of time working around this myself.
But before we dive right in, let me introduce myself in case this is your first visit. Welcome to the Soulfully Confident Podcast! I’m your host, Emily Elizabeth, creator of the Soulfully Abundant Group Coaching program and certified Life Coach. This podcast is for the person who feels insecure, lost, and wants more from life but feels stuck. It is for the person who is ready to claim their confidence, self-worth, and take back control of their life. In this podcast, we will cover topics including self-love, managing your emotions, reconnecting in your relationships, and even manifestation. Remember, you are loved, you are worthy, and you are so capable of anything you want to achieve. Let’s jump in!
I’d love to share some of my most prevalent reflections & tips, so let's dive in and create some confidence together. For even more details on each point, listen to ALL of episode 79 of the Soulfully Confident Podcast on your preferred streaming platform!
The first secret to overcoming insecurities and creating confidence.
Secret #1: Identify and forgive.
Most of you probably know where you feel insecure. If you don’t, I want you to take a moment to think about your biggest insecurities. Become aware of them and identify them clearly. This is the very first step. We are so much more than the thoughts that spin in our heads and when you can pinpoint those thoughts, you’re ready to forgive.
When you feel yourself falling into your insecurities, catch yourself and don't let those intrusive thoughts turn into big ones.
Forgive yourself for feeling the way you do and for thinking negatively about yourself.
In this FREE 3 day training, I will share with you exactly how I went FROM: insecure, 'fake it until I make it' mentality, and very lost in my relationship TO: crushing my goals, feeling in control of my emotions, totally empowered to go after what I want, and to being in a truly secure and satisfying relationship.
The second secret to overcoming insecurities and creating confidence.
Secret #2: Allow and reframe.
You have to allow yourself to feel insecure because if you don't, you're not allowing yourself to be a human being. We all have pasts and we all have negative experiences that make our emotions valid. You are not alone in dealing with insecurities, it's normal!
Once you've given yourself permission to feel insecure, you're ready for the reframing process. Whatever negative thought you’re having, turn it around into a positive one and tell yourself that over and over. You need to retrain your brain into believing what you want to believe. This is a process and it's going to take time but you have to allow your mind to believe positive things about yourself.
The third secret to overcoming insecurities and creating confidence.
Secret #3: Fail forward and take messy action.
We all get so stuck in the how of things…
How do I lose weight?
How do I start my business?
How do I improve my marriage?
Whatever it is, you're not going to have it ALL figured out, especially if you're too insecure to take the first step. And that is okay. You are where you are and you need to give yourself so much love and forgiveness. Through that love, you can begin to take those baby steps forward and create action.
Block out what you think other people are thinking about you, and do what you have to do to make yourself better. If you're wondering how to lose weight constantly, go to the gym, take that step, work on yourself, and don't worry about what others think.
Take action no matter how messy it feels to you.

About your host
My name is Emily Elizabeth, I am a life and confidence coach, and I am ready to help you take back your confidence and feel in control of your life.
I love helping women get out of the victim mentality, find their self-worth, and reconnect with themselves so they can not only improve themselves but all their relationships. When I am not creating content for my clients and programs, you can find me on a spontaneous trip with my husband, working out, curled up with my journal, or spending time enjoying the outdoors.
What I want to do for you all today is a little guided meditation, visualizations, and affirmations that I say a lot to myself and guide my clients through as well.
