Here to get TRASHED?! 😝

Kidding, kind of.

Founder & confidence sherpa, keynote speaker, author, and podcast host Nicole Kalil is here today to discuss how bringing her trash to the “transfer station” ie, dump, led her to interrogate the “trash” that was in her head or “head trash” and write her first book called Validation is for Parking.

In today’s episode, Nicole explains what “head trash” is and the 3 things you need to know about it to become more confident.

Nicole and Erin also talk about:

• Nicole’s personal story of BECOMING confident when she was climbing the corporate ladder and why this is different from all of the other voices telling us how to BE confident
• 5 things that derail your confidence and how to be aware of them
• Why you’ve been lying to yourself with the affirmations you’re using and how to actually believe them and embrace them

If you want to become more confident—this is the episode for you.

Special sprinkles on top of this episode:

• Why “fake it til you make it” is out and its better replacement
• Why Nicole’s plan B is to be a detective
