You're listening to the Confidence Podcast. Your favorite coaching podcast oozes in with motivation, inspiration, and confidence to help you boldly take action on your dreams.

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 guys, it's Trish Blackwell, your Confidence Coach, and you're listening to the Confidence Podcast episode number 462.

We're talking today about confidence for when you feel different or just plain discourage.

We live in a chaotic world, filled with conflicting opinions everywhere you turn.

In a world that is more connected than ever, we are more divided, more lonely, more isolated, and more conflicted internally on standing strong in our own opinions, even when they are unpopular or simply opposed by those closest to us.

In our conversation on this podcast today and our coaching together, this is going to go deep into how to stay confident in your self, in your relationship, and in your hope for the future

and the evidence that you have in front of you is that division is pressing and discouragement is around every turn.

In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, as I already mentioned, we're talking about how to feel confident about the future when the future can feel a little discouraging.

How to create connection with others in a world of division, and the secret to believing that life is different, but it's also still good.

We're going to talk about hope and happiness, and how to have both when you feel like you've been gutted every time you turn a corner.

Before we do that, of course, I want to highlight our review of the week.

It is from Ali, Will, and see as she says, five stars, Trish, you never disappoint.
