Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast. [upbeat music] I am so thrilled about the conversation today because you're going to learn, based on research, a four-part framework to help you build unshakable self-confidence. And you're gonna learn it from a globally renowned expert who has flown halfway around the world to be here in our Boston studios for one reason, to be here for you. And she is going to tell you that based on the research, you wanna know how you build unshakable confidence? Well, first, you do that by learning how to identify exactly where self-doubt is holding you back. And here's the thing about self-doubt. It is sneaky. That's why you need this four-part framework, because self-doubt shows up as lots of different things, overthinking, people-pleasing, perfectionism, procrastination, comparison, blame, resentment, replaying conversations, staying awake at night, holding yourself back from things that you wanna be doing, saying sorry when you didn't do anything wrong. And even more interesting is depending upon exactly what kind of self-doubt you're dealing with and how it's showing up, you need a different tool. And that's why you're gonna love the conversation today. You're getting a four-part framework that will help you see self-doubt in an entirely new way
