This is Karen Hunter and welcome to the hub. Hey Family, we are heading into part four of my series on confidence.

And in the past, last time we talked about confidence being future facing and people not

resting on their laurels and resting on past successes to propel

them into the future.

We also talked about how confidence is subconscious and that in many ways our subconscious knows what's really true in our spirit so we have to be true to our true selves

In this episode we're going to talk about how confidence can be stymied or stunted by trauma. Now a lot of us have experienced

trauma, not all trauma is molestation, murder or death. Some trauma is small trauma that can have a lasting impact on our ability to be able to be successful in our future.

It could be something as simple as when you were a kid you raised your hand and got something wrong and everyone laughed at you.

Now that trauma you can use as fuel but some of us use it as a way of not, know ever raising our hand again it sometimes shuts our voice

off my dad told us a story when he was little because his mom I think she had no

more than a third grade education.

So by the time he went to school, everything he had learned,

he had learned in his home.

But he was a really smart kid.

And he recalls being in class and the teacher wrote on the board,

V E, G E, T, A, B, L E, and she turned to the class

and said, do you know what that says?

And my father did. He raised his hand it was like oh

me me me me me me me and the teacher called on him and he said vegetables

and everyone started cracking up and laughing and and he was

was mortified because that's the way his mother said vegetables,

vegetapples.
