    Should You Fake It Until You Make It?
    Jul 11 2024
    Should you fake it until you make it? There is a lot of advice telling us that if we don't feel confident then we should fake it and somehow that will make us feel confident. Trouble it, that's not true. In this episode I talk about real confidence vs fake confidence, how you can't hide your lack of confidence and what to do to develop real self confidence, the longer and effective way, the slightly harder but quicker way. I've done both and they both work.

  • When Different Is Unacceptable

    When Different Is Unacceptable
    May 23 2024
    How different do you have to be to trigger 'you're not okay' in other people? In this episode I explore when being me, being 'too different' triggered such a reaction. That reaction has little to do with my race, sex, height, weight or anything like that, it's just a personality thing. And it will be the same for you, there will be people who criticise, complain and condemn you for being different - question is, how do we cope with that reality? Listen to how I frame things. Any questions or queries about how I can help you live a mind controlled life, then reach out to me -elaine@elaineblidgeon.com
