If you're returning, thank you. Here today we're talking about how to appear more confident than you are, how to feel, how to be more confident than you feel you may not have known this, but you don't have to feel confident to be confident in this episode.

I'm going to talk about four easy ways to be confident for those moments when it matters the most, but here's the thing, when it matters the most, and when you feel it the least.

In this coaching podcast, we're going to be talking about that the fact that being confident is always an option when you learn how to trust the process of showing up with confidence and as a confident person.

Hey, if there's anything I ever say on the show, a link, I mentioned a quote that I read and you go, whoa, whoa, whoa, or the four steps that I share, you want to write it down, you can always go to the show notes, you can find all of my show notes for the episodes at Trish Blackwell dot com board slash the episode number.

So in this case, Trish Blackwell dot com board slash 497. In this episode, I'm going to be going more in depth on how doubt is normal.

So moments when you aren't feeling confident aren't a problem. That's normal and how to have confidence in that, which you can control, which is how you show up.

We're going to be talking about curating a confidence of dialogue, how to prepare for anything like a champion, mastering your own morning routine and also how to expect the best and then also continue to feel confident, even if it doesn't go as well as planned.

So before that, of course, before we dive into the coaching, I want to just do our two brief announcements.
