Creating Confidence and a Positive Environment
Does your environment support or take away from your confidence? Do you have friends who lift you up and fan the flame in your life? I believe it is so important to surround yourself with the right people. It can be the key between you succeeding and not. I am so passionate about this subject that I dedicated this full episode to discuss how to create confidence by building a positive environment.
We have had so many incredible guests on the Sisterhood of Sweat but these seven clips really stood out to me as the most powerful segments on the topic of confidence. Keep this quote in mind while you listen, “ Self confidence is a super power. Once you start to believe in yourself magic starts happening ”. Enjoy listening!
