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, and you're listening to the Confidence Podcast episode number 493.

I'm publishing in the month of May. You guys, you need to know this. May is my favorite month. One, I love Mother's Day.

Two, it's my birthday, and look, I really believe in the power and the gift of aging. That aging is exciting.

And if you want to reframe how you think about aging, I want to invite you to go back to Gush, the episode I did around my birthday last year.

It's episode number 443, how to be happy about aging.

So I'm gearing up for my birthday, I'm super stoked about it, I'm going to be 39, and I think it's exciting.

And I invite you to reconsider how exciting it is to have the gift of a new year.

Yeah, there's things that come with aging that aren't convenient, but there's a lot of cool things too.

So that is why I love May. Hey, in this episode, we're going to talk about a topic that comes up so often to my coaching that I needed to do an entire episode on it.

Now, you might not realize that both of those are intertwined, but if you've ever downplayed yourself or minimized an achievement or perhaps you feel like you're playing small with the real potential that you know got as placed inside of you, then this podcast episode is for you.

We're going to explore how to break the self-sabotaging and self-critical habit of actually what I would call false humility.

That's only not only making you feel not enough, but is actually keeping you from showing up fully and shining brightly with your life.

At the end of the day, you guys, you are responsible for what you have been given.

I coached in my private coaching practice, I specialize in coaching high achievers.

So, top athletes, actresses, people who are CEOs, killing it, top, top, top of their field, doctors, lawyers, you name it, high achievers.

And when it gets down to it, and we really break it down, most of them are stopping themselves from really going as far as they can, because they're only admit that they're only using 10% of their potential.
