  • Do you ever stop yourself from speaking up because you are afraid of what will happen?

    Then step this way...

    In this episode of 'An Espresso Shot of Confidence', I explore ways in which you can confidently present your ideas, stories, and views without the fear of judgment or scrutiny.

    As you change the narrative from self-doubt and fear to empowerment.

    Drawing examples from my personal experiences with mental health awareness on LinkedIn, I share some tips on becoming more decisive in sharing ideas and stressing the potential positive impact they could have on others.

    Listen in for some food for thought on the importance of being true to yourself while communicating, the power of starting conversations, and finding your voice by overcoming fears and taking action.

    This episode is perfect for anyone that is starting to explore putting content out into the world or has a message that they really want to share with their peeps!

  • Light at the end of the Tunnel: Exploring Mental Fitness, Language and the Power of Seeking Help In this episode of An Espresso Shot Of Confidence', I talk to Paul Hill, founder of Everyday Hypnotherapy. Throughout the episode, we delve into the difference between confidence and self-esteem, the power of language, and the importance of seeking help when struggling with mental health. We also explore the myths and misconceptions about mental health, discussing how societal values and preconceived notions often deter many men from taking the first step towards getting the help they need. The conversation highlights the danger of internalizing societal narratives, the significance of personal experiences, and the encouraging shift towards openness and acceptance of mental health issues.
