Hi everybody. Welcome to the women's dating and confidence podcast. My name is Amber, and today we're

going to talk about trying to fix yourself versus trying to free yourself. So before we get started with that,

I wanted to share with you that I just got back from Portland today. I was at Dr. Aziz's

Confidence Breakthrough Live event and I was coaching there and speaking there and I actually gave my

biggest speech yet. It was about 100 people in the room.

And so I'm just going to share with you a little bit.

I was so nervous before, more than I ever have been with other talks that I've given

at his events.

And the reason was because earlier that weekend,

we were thinking of actually not having me do a talk because the topic that I had planned on

speaking on was kind of already coming up a lot during his teaching. And I didn't want it to be

really repetitive. And so I brought that up and we were like,

not sure if we can like redo it so quickly. And that was a discussion. And later that day,

I came up to him and I got him alone and I was like, Aziz, I just need you to trust me.

Like, I can do this and it's going to be really good and it's going to be

really good for these people specifically. And I know I'll do a good job. He was like sold.

And so we decided I was going to give a speech on a different topic. So I spoke about how to

create a community, how to create amazing friendships in your life. And so I was really nervous

before because I really sold myself before and I was like nervous about delivering. And that's kind of a common theme in

my life right now because even with this podcast, like there are more of you listening all

of a sudden. And it's taking me a while to get these podcast episodes done because I feel a lot of pressure

and I'm like, I want it to be really good.
