0:00.0	Hello, friends, and welcome back to the Liz Moody podcast. Today's episode is going to be a little
0:05.4	different. I want to get really honest with you about something that we all deal with, but we do not
0:10.3	talk about enough. Insecurities. I'm going to share some of my biggest ones and the science
0:16.5	spec strategies that I've found helped the most with managing them. I am a bit nervous about this
0:22.5	episode, but my hope is that by the end of it, you'll feel less alone in some of your own
0:27.5	struggles and you'll walk away with tools to help you feel more confident, grounded, and
0:31.8	like you are enough. I also want to start by saying everyone has insecurities. I find it really helpful
0:40.0	to remind myself that no matter how successful I perceive someone as, there are things they are
0:46.4	insecure about. It is part of being human. Our brains are wired to scan for threats, and sometimes
0:53.5	those threats are internal internal like the fear of
0:56.3	not being good enough or not measuring up. I find it really helpful to remind myself that there's

So, as I share my insecurities, I invite you to maybe notice some of your own without shame and without judgment. And maybe by the end of this episode, you'll have a new
1:29.6	perspective on some of them. Okay, that was probably enough preamble, enough stalling on my part. So
1:36.6	let's dive into some of my insecurities and the tools that I use to deal with them. These are in no
1:42.4	particular order because ranking your
1:44.4	insecurities feels like a step too far even for me. Insecurity number one, my appearance. And to be
1:52.4	more specific, my height. Whenever I meet you guys in real life, the number one thing that you
1:58.2	comment on is how I am so much shorter than you thought I would be.
2:02.2	For the record, I am 5'1 and a half. The half is important. Half technically rounds up to 5
2:07.9	2. And for my entire life, I've had to hem pants and I've had to be called cute versus beautiful
2:14.0	or sexy. I remember in college, all of my friends were these Amazonian model women,
