You're listening to the Confidence Podcast.

You're one-stop-shop for motivation, inspiration, and confidence to help you boldly take action on your dreams.

I'm your host, Trish Blackwell, internationally recognized confidence coach and founder of the College of

Competence and I teach women how to take their thoughts captive, how to step out of their shadows of

self-doubt, and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence.

It's time to train your thoughts. Let's get started.

Hey guys, it's Trish, your confidence coach and you are listening to episode

whoa 391 of the confidence podcast. I am wondering if you notice something

different about me.

I'm 37.

That's right, between last episode and this episode we had my birthday,

which is one of my favorite days of the year.

Yes, I'm one of those people who likes their

birthday. Yes, I am somebody who actually yearns to grow. I want I look

forward to being 57 and 77 and 97 because as far as I'm concerned life just keeps

getting better and better now does that mean that there's this is

without pain without trials no of course like that is an that is a guarantee of life. We know we will have trouble, right? But man, I just love the work and the freedom, the joy, and the peace that God has brought into my life each and every year more and more and you know I may

not be who I want to be yet I'm not my ideal version of myself but I'm on my way right

and on my way means I think I arrived when my life is ending and you know I'm not where I was last year the the

Trish that you have coaching you here a fresh freshly minted 37 is way better than the Trish as a freshly minted 36.

So I hope that I challenge you to consider looking at your age and your birth and your

deat of birth just with a clean and refreshed lens.
