#173 – WIRE YOUR BRAIN FOR CONFIDENCE: THE SCIENCE OF CONQUERING SELF-DOUBT, with Louisa Jewell

Hello & welcome to a brilliant episode!   

…one you just must share with friends.

If you're human(!), then you've probably experienced self-doubt at some point in your life as we all do. Whether it's doubting your abilities at work or play or feeling unsure doing new things - self-doubt can hold you back from achieving your dreams and goals and living a fulfilling life.

In my experience it is the biggest killer of dreams I see day to day…

But don't worry, you're not alone. In fact, my guest Louisa Jewell and I know exactly how you feel. From experience!

Louisa – who says she was plagued with self-doubt in her youth which held her back massively - is an author, speaker, and leading expert in the field of positive psychology. Her book, Wire Your Brain for Confidence; The Science of Conquering Self-Doubt, is a good read for anyone struggling with self-doubt. In this episode, Louisa dives deep into the topics covered in her book and shares practical tips and strategies for building confidence and overcoming self-doubt.

Here's a sneak peek of what you can expect to learn:

• How to identify and challenge your negative self-talk
• The science behind confidence and self-doubt
• How important it is ‘to just start’
• How taking baby steps forward works well by building confidence

• How self-compassion and self-care are important
• Strategies for achieving your goals and living a fulfilling life
• How to rewire your brain for confidence and overcome self-doubt 
• How to master your self talk - and to stop ruminating(!)
• …and much more.

Louisa's warm and engaging style will make you feel like you're chatting with a friend, while her expert insights and practical tips will leave you feeling empowered and ready to tackle any challenge.
