On your host, Trish Blackwell, internationally recognized confidence coach, best-selling author, and founder of the College of Confidence, the most encouraging place on the internet.

I teach go-getters in life how to take their thoughts captive, how to step out of the shadows of self-doubt, and how to courageously step into their purpose with confidence.

It's time to pump our confidence muscles and train our thoughts y'all. Let's get started.

Hey there, it's Trish Blackwell, your confidence coach. I gotta tell you, I am excited about today's subject. I know I say that every week.

But I definitely mean it every week. I mean, you get the real me, for sure. So, we're talking about better sleep, more confidence, because a better rested you is a better you.

Now, before you really get it, I have sleep problems. That's exactly what we're talking about today. I got you, girl. I got you. Hey, and to all my brothers out there who are listening, I know, look, I know it's pink branding.

And I know I technically say, hey women, hey girls, I also include you. You guys know actually about 25% of my private clients are male. So, men and women, I love you both to my men out there. My brothers, I love you.

But I also love that you will allow me sometimes be like, girl, listen, so thank you for allowing me to just be myself here with you, like a bunch of friends hanging out. But here's the thing, a better you is a better rested you.

We all love sleep. What if sleep is hard for you or life circumstances are keeping you up at night, tossing and turning with anxiety or overthinking or maybe you grew up in an environment where that's what you, you saw your parents do and talk about how little sleep they got or maybe you grew up in a competitive environment like, like, like I did where we bragged about how little sleep we got.

The person who seemed to have less felt they were more important or doing more could do like this martyr syndrome that we we buy into culturally.

And here's the thing, your relationship with your thoughts at night is within your control. This is such great news for anyone who wants more hours of sleep or more restful sleep.

Because a well slept you is a more emotionally and mentally sharp you and will show up in your life with more confidence and courage.
