Welcome back to Good Mom's Bad Choices. I'm Erica and I'm Mela. Happy Hump Day! Happy 2022!

It's the first. Oh no wait, it's the second Hump Day of 2022. Last week we brought a meditation

because we figured you needed to come in Zen. Yeah, you know, I love that meditation that we did with Trap Yoga Bay.

She's the shit. And it's just getting our confidence up because it is be confident, January beaches.

It's time to set the foundation of our confidence for 2022. Pretty much. I mean, can't go into the year, not feeling confident.

Literally confidence influences everything. And that's why I think we wanted to start off January with this theme because

confidence influences your parenting. It influences your sex life. It influences how attractive you are to other people. How you show up. How you maintain attraction.

How you show up in work. How you sell yourself in work. Yeah, I get hired. How you just feel overall for just more happy in your body and in yourself.

So I think it's really important and I'm happy that we're focusing on this this month. We just launched a challenge in January.

So make sure you go check that out on on Instagram or also on Patreon. I actually posted a little mini episode on Patreon.

Just talking to myself because you guys know I've talked about my journey and healing and how talking out loud has been revolutionary for me, especially when I'm talking shit to myself.

And so I recorded a like pump up mini episode basically talking to myself that you should listen to, but I want to encourage you guys to also record your own.

So talk to yourself. Yeah, so this challenge is going to obviously the community is joining us, but we're going to be doing zoom calls on Patreon with our patrons twice this month, which I'm really excited about.

I love connecting with everybody via zoom and seeing everyone's faces, even though some young guys be turning your camera off. Hello, people don't be doing the hair every day.

Bitch, I be up. We've been looking crusty on there. I was thinking that I was thinking about just like the amount of whatever the fuck we've showed up on the podcast.

It's just range like some days. It just doesn't happen. And that's fine too. Confidence.

But one of the things that I wanted to include on the challenge was the talking out loud to yourself when you're talking shit, but also doing something kind for a stranger or just saying something to a stranger because I think that also.

It's kind of like I think people struggle with that. And I think that that can help build confidence like just saying, Hey, how are you doing or like just offering your help to someone that like maybe wouldn't ever ask for your help.

Kind of just helps you feel confident in like your abilities to support people, your ability to show up for people. And then hopefully we're also talking about building karma.

Like because you know, if you listen to our episode with Kay Cola, karma doesn't care. And I think it's really important that we build our karma for 2022.

Because I mean, all Hoses, Carmas is fucked up and you need to reset. You know, okay.

Okay. You know, the funny thing about like confidence is it's like it's really the term like fake it till you make it.
