Hi everybody. Welcome back to the Women's Dating and Confidence podcast. My name is Amber,

and today I'm really excited to share an interview that I did with Dr. Aziz Gazzipura.

For those of you who don't know,

Dr. Aziz is the reason why I became a coach. I found his book, The Art of Extraordinary Confidence,

years and years ago, and I read it and I loved it so much. And I reached out to him and asked him if we could work together

and if he would train me to become a confidence coach. And so he created an internship position

at his company for me and we worked together and then I started working with clients through him

and then he encouraged me to do my own

thing, which is how I got here today. So Dr. Aziz is not only really amazing with the work that he

does in the world, which he's going to share with you today, but he's also very amazing and the

impact he's had on my life personally. And he's the reason why I get to do what

I love here with you every single week and in the coaching session. So in today's episode, we're going

to dive into relationships, dating, vulnerability, jealousy, communication, amazing, interesting topics around dating and relationships.

If you want to learn more about Dr. Z's, definitely check out his podcast, Shrink for the Shy Guy.

It's called Shrink for the Shy Guy, but I think like 50% of the listeners are female as well.

And it's for anybody who could use more

confidence socially in work, being more assertive. And yeah, definitely check out his work as well.

And for now, let's dive into this episode.

Thank you so much for joining me on the Women's Dating and Confidence podcast. I'm so grateful to have you here for another episode. Yes, thanks for having me,

Amber. I'm looking forward to it. Yeah. So why don't we get started with you just introducing yourself for those who haven't heard you on a prior episode or who don't know who you are in your work in the world?

Sure. I'm Dr. Aziz, and I am obsessed with confidence. I've been studying it for the last 20 years, at first just for myself,

because I was very limited in my life,
