Hello, hello, good morning and welcome back. Welcome to Morning Ray. I'm your host, Lan. I know so many of us are just truly trying to make it through the week, attempting to figure out what our next step is, what we should be doing, and truthfully

trying not to spiral on that random Tuesday night. 20s can be a wild ride. And I loved recording

our confidence and letting go of people pleasing episode last week.

So I decided to continue on with this confidence series

because I feel like this is something I have been actively working on

in therapy in terms of my confidence and my self-esteem in my career and life,

in relationships, in friendships, in dating, learning how to set boundaries,

learning how not to people please, and knowing how to communicate better and more effectively

to be secure myself and be able to make decisions on my own and do things alone. I used to be

someone who was really shy and insecure and I would get really nervous

and socially anxious to go and do things by my own or on my own in fear of judgment, in fear of

what other people might think or say or, you know, just anything that would result as a result of my actions, maybe feeling embarrassed or fear of, you know, just anything that would result as a result of my actions, maybe feeling embarrassed

or if you're getting embarrassed, something like that. And I know I'm not the only one. And I feel like

in the past six months or a year, I guess, six months, eight months, maybe 12, a little bit more or less.

I have really decided to look inwards and outwards, I guess, but to really challenge myself to step into this next version of me,

this next evolvement of Alana, this new chapter, this new era of being confident and authentically

myself and owning my truth. And I want to help you. Or maybe your friend, if you want to share

this with a friend, a sibling, maybe it's a parent, a coworker, whoever share with them now,

this episode is truly for you.

If you have ever doubted yourself, felt behind, or wondered if you're doing this whole

adulting thing, right?

I'm going to help you figure out how to be more confident and give you tangible takeaways
