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, and you're listening to the Confidence Podcast episode 554. We're talking today about reinventing yourself.

We're talking about independence and freedom, and the ability to look at your life different than you ever have before and to see yourself.

Not as who you are, but as who you are becoming, as the end product before you even arrive because that is so much of the essence of confidence, of knowing who God is transforming you into and being patient along the process.

So we're going to be talking about the concept of reinventing and the ideas to unlock your true potential of who God created you to be.

Now to do this, we have to overcome self-doubt, we have to create goals, we have to get vision, we're going to be talking about this whole new chapter of your personal growth today.

And you can call it reinventing yourself, you can call it the next you, you can call it your future self, you can call it the 1.0 you versus the 2.0 you, which I often use on my coaching.

But I just want you to know this is this is part of one of our core pillars of confidence knowing that your future is amazing knowing your future rocks.

And when you think about the reinvention of yourself, the things that you've struggled with in the past, even if it's been for years or decades doesn't have to be the things you'll struggle with in your future, you can make a decision that that will change.

So in this episode, we're going to be coaching on deciding who you want to be, no matter your age, becoming the version of yourself that you can be, which requires something of you.

It's not just ideation and big dreams it's doing.

Y'all, to be strong and to do the work, to be a visionary and to be humble enough to do the little details well in your life, the ones that no one sees, the journaling that is only between you and God, the little details to set you up for success that's going to help you age into the person you want to be.

All of that behind the scenes stuff, that's the stuff that makes you and we're going to talk about some very actionable steps to reinventing yourself. Now, this is a really good topic if you are about to cross the milestone of a birthday.

As many of you know, and I covered it in episode 547 to celebrate my 40th birthday, we talked about self talk that has changed my life.

But I talked a lot about who I want to be as a 40 year old, and so maybe you're about to turn 25 or 60 or you, it's a milestone at some point.

You get to decide what that next year looks like, what that next decade, maybe your transitioning jobs and you can reinvent yourself and decide who it is you want to be in this next field and this next job place in this next group of people.

Maybe you're switching schools, maybe you're going into a university setting from high school, maybe you're changing teams.

You get to decide, you get to reinvent yourself, this is not like pretend. This is stepping more, getting curious about what it is that has worked for you and what it is that you were not in congruence.

Maybe I spent so much of my life pretending to be somebody that I thought people wanted me to be, and when I go through these phases of reinventing myself, I ask myself, what do I know is true?
