  Hey,

  girl.
• 0:16
  Hey.
• 0:16
  Welcome
• 0:17
  back
• 0:17
  to

  Notes
• 0:17
  to
• 0:17
  her,
• 0:17
  the
• 0:18
  daily
• 0:18
  pep
• 0:18
  talk.
• 0:18
  I'm
• 0:19
  Yaya,
• 0:19
  your
• 0:19
  confidence
• 0:20
  and
• 0:20
  mindset
• 0:20
  coach,
• 0:21
  here
• 0:21
  to
• 0:21
  remind
• 0:21
  you
• 0:22
  of
• 0:22
  who
• 0:22
  you
• 0:22
  really
• 0:22
  are.
• 0:23
  And
• 0:23
  I
• 0:23
  don't
• 0:24
  mean
• 0:24
  the
• 0:24
  watered
• 0:24
  down
• 0:24
  version
• 0:25
  you've
• 0:25
  learned
• 0:25
  to
• 0:25
  perform
• 0:26
  for
• 0:26
  the
• 0:26
  world.
• 0:27
  Now,
• 0:28
  let
• 0:28
  me
• 0:28
  ask
• 0:28
  you
• 0:28
  something.
• 0:30
  Have
• 0:30
  you
• 0:30
  ever
• 0:30
  told
• 0:31
  yourself,
• 0:32
  I
• 0:32
  just
• 0:32
  want
• 0:32
  to
• 0:32
  make
• 0:32
  sure
• 0:33
  it's
• 0:33
  perfect
• 0:33
  first.
• 0:34
  Perfect
• 0:35
  before
• 0:35
  you
• 0:35
  apply.
• 0:36
  Perfect
• 0:36
  before
• 0:37
  you
• 0:37
  post
• 0:37
  it.
• 0:38
  Perfect
• 0:38
  before
• 0:38
  you
• 0:39
  say
• 0:39
  something
• 0:39
  out
• 0:40
  loud.
• 0:41
  Maybe
• 0:41
  you
• 0:41
  want
• 0:41
  to
• 0:42
  tweak
• 0:42
  the
• 0:42
  wording
• 0:42
  again.
• 0:43
  Maybe
• 0:43
  you
• 0:44
  research
• 0:44
  one
• 0:45
  more
• 0:45
  thing.
• 0:46
  Or
• 0:46
  maybe
• 0:46
  you
• 0:46
  tell
• 0:47
  yourself
• 0:47
  you
• 0:47
  just
• 0:47
  need
• 0:48
  a
• 0:48
  little
• 0:48
  bit
• 0:48
  more
• 0:49
  clarity.
• 0:50
  But
• 0:51
  what
• 0:51
  if
• 0:51
  perfection
• 0:52
  is
• 0:52
  in
• 0:52
  preparation?
• 0:54
  What
• 0:54
  if
• 0:54
  preparation
• 0:55
  is
• 0:55
  protection?
• 0:57
  Protection
• 0:57
  from
• 0:58
  judgment.
• 0:59
  Protection
• 1:00
  from
• 1:00
  being
• 1:00
  seen
• 1:01
  before
• 1:01
  you
• 1:01
  feel
• 1:01
  ready.
• 1:02
  Protection
• 1:03
  from
• 1:03
  getting
• 1:03
  it
• 1:03
  wrong
• 1:04
  in
• 1:04
  front
• 1:04
  of
• 1:05
  other
• 1:05
  people.
• 1:06
  And
• 1:06
  if
• 1:06
  you
• 1:06
  Listen
• 1:07
  to
• 1:07
  note
• 1:07
  56,
• 1:08
  you
• 1:08
  know
• 1:08
  exactly
• 1:09
  where
• 1:09
  this
• 1:09
  goes.
• 1:10
  Because
• 1:11
  perfectionism
• 1:11
  and
• 1:12
  waiting
• 1:12
  to
• 1:12
  feel
• 1:12
  ready.
• 1:13
  They
• 1:13
  are
• 1:14
  cousins,
• 1:14
  and
• 1:15
  today
• 1:15
  I'm
• 1:15
  calling
• 1:16
  them
• 1:16
  both
• 1:16
  out.
• 1:28
  Perfectionism
• 1:29
  has
• 1:29
  one
• 1:29
  of
• 1:29
  the
• 1:29
  best
• 1:30
  disguises,
• 1:31
  because
• 1:31
  it
• 1:31
  sounds
• 1:32
  reasonable,
• 1:32
  it
• 1:33
  sounds
• 1:33
  disciplined,
• 1:34
  it
• 1:34
  sounds
• 1:35
  like
• 1:35
  high
• 1:35
  standards.
• 1:36
  You'll
• 1:37
  hear
• 1:37
  people
• 1:37
  say
• 1:37
  things
• 1:38
  like,
• 1:38
  I
• 1:38
  just
• 1:38
  want
• 1:38
  to
• 1:39
  do
• 1:39
  it
• 1:39
  right.
• 1:40
  I'm
• 1:40
  detail
• 1:40
  oriented.
• 1:42
  I
• 1:42
  care
• 1:42
  about
• 1:42
  quality
• 1:44
  and
• 1:44
  listen.
• 1:44
  None
• 1:45
  of
• 1:45
  those
• 1:45
  things
• 1:45
  are
• 1:45
  bad.
• 1:46
  But
• 1:46
  perfectionism
• 1:47
  is
• 1:47
  something
• 1:47
  different.
• 1:48
  Perfectionism
• 1:49
  isn't
• 1:50
  about
• 1:50
  excellence.
• 1:51
  It.
• 1:51
  It's
• 1:51
  about
• 1:51
  avoiding
• 1:52
  discomfort.
• 1:54
  It's
• 1:54
  the
• 1:54
  voice
• 1:54
  in
• 1:54
  your
• 1:55
  head
• 1:55
  that
• 1:55
  says,
• 1:56
  don't
• 1:56
  move
• 1:56
  until
• 1:56
  you're
• 1:57
  100%
• 1:58
  sure.
• 1:59
  Don't
• 2:00
  share
• 2:00
  unless
• 2:00
  it's
• 2:01
  flawless.
• 2:02
  Don't
• 2:02
  speak
• 2:02
  until
• 2:03
  you
• 2:03
  know
• 2:03
  exactly
• 2:04
  how
• 2:04
  it
• 2:04
  will
• 2:05
  land.
• 2:06
  And
• 2:06
  if
• 2:07
  you
• 2:07
  follow
• 2:07
  that
• 2:07
  voice
• 2:08
  long
• 2:08
  enough,
• 2:09
  you
• 2:09
  will
• 2:09
  end
• 2:09
  up
• 2:10
  stuck
• 2:10
  in
• 2:10
  preparation
• 2:11
  mode.
• 2:12
  Not
• 2:12
  because
• 2:12
  you're
• 2:13
  incapable,
• 2:13
  but
• 2:13
  because
• 2:14
  you're
• 2:14
  trying
• 2:14
  to
• 2:14
  eliminate
• 2:15
  risk.
• 2:17
  So
• 2:17
  let's
• 2:18
  slow
• 2:18
  down
• 2:18
  here
• 2:19
  for
• 2:19
  a
• 2:19
  moment.
• 2:19
  Because
• 2:20
  perfectionism
• 2:21
  rarely
• 2:21
  starts
• 2:22
  with
• 2:22
  standards.
• 2:23
  It
• 2:24
  starts
• 2:24
  with
• 2:24
  fear.
• 2:26
  Fear
• 2:26
  of
• 2:26
  being
• 2:26
  judged,
• 2:28
  fear
• 2:28
  of
• 2:29
  being
• 2:29
  misunderstood,
• 2:31
  fear
• 2:31
  of
• 2:31
  looking
• 2:32
  inexperienced,
• 2:34
  fear
• 2:35
  of
• 2:35
  someone
• 2:35
  seeing
• 2:36
  you
• 2:36
  try
• 2:36
  and
• 2:37
  fail.
• 2:38
  And
• 2:38
  when
• 2:38
  those
• 2:38
  fears
• 2:39
  are
• 2:39
  sitting
• 2:39
  quietly
• 2:40
  in
• 2:40
  the
• 2:40
  background,
• 2:41
  perfectionism
• 2:42
  becomes
• 2:42
  a
• 2:42
  strategy
• 2:43
  your
• 2:43
  brain
• 2:43
  uses
• 2:44
  to
• 2:44
  protect
• 2:44
  you.
• 2:45
  You.
• 2:45
  You
• 2:46
  tell
• 2:46
  yourself,
• 2:47
  if
• 2:48
  I
• 2:48
  can
• 2:48
  just
• 2:48
  get
• 2:49
  this
• 2:49
  right,
• 2:50
  no
• 2:50
  one
• 2:50
  can
• 2:50
  criticize
• 2:51
  it.
• 2:52
  If
• 2:52
  I
• 2:52
  prepare
• 2:53
  enough,
• 2:54
  no
• 2:54
  one
• 2:54
  can
• 2:55
  question
• 2:55
  me.
• 2:56
  If
• 2:57
  I
• 2:57
  wait
• 2:57
  until
• 2:57
  I'm
• 2:58
  completely
• 2:58
  sure
• 2:59
  I
• 3:00
  won't
• 3:00
  embarrass
• 3:00
  myself.
• 3:02
  But
• 3:03
  here's
• 3:03
  the
• 3:03
  thing
• 3:03
  that
• 3:04
  a
• 3:04
  lot
• 3:04
  of
• 3:04
  women
• 3:05
  don't
• 3:05
  realize.
• 3:07
  Perfectionism
• 3:08
  isn't
• 3:08
  confidence.
• 3:10
  It's
• 3:10
  armor.
• 3:11
  It's
• 3:12
  the
• 3:12
  emotional
• 3:13
  version
• 3:13
  of
• 3:13
  trying
• 3:13
  to
• 3:14
  control
• 3:14
  every
• 3:15
  variable
• 3:15
  before
• 3:16
  you
• 3:16
  let
• 3:16
  yourself
• 3:17
  be
• 3:17
  seen.
• 3:18
  And
• 3:18
  the
• 3:18
  problem
• 3:19
  with
• 3:19
  that?
• 3:19
  Life
• 3:20
  doesn't
• 3:20
  work
• 3:20
  that
• 3:20
  way.
• 3:21
  You
• 3:21
  can't
• 3:21
  control
• 3:22
  how
• 3:22
  people
• 3:22
  interpret
• 3:23
  you.
• 3:23
  You
• 3:23
  can't
• 3:24
  control
• 3:24
  how
• 3:24
  Every
• 3:24
  conversation
• 3:25
  lands.
• 3:26
  You
• 3:26
  can't
• 3:27
  control
• 3:27
  every
• 3:28
  outcome.
• 3:29
  So
• 3:30
  perfectionism
• 3:30
  keeps
• 3:31
  you
• 3:31
  stuck,
• 3:31
  trying
• 3:32
  to
• 3:32
  manage
• 3:32
  the
• 3:33
  uncontrollable.
• 3:35
  And
• 3:35
  when
• 3:36
  you
• 3:36
  live
• 3:36
  like
• 3:36
  that
• 3:36
  long
• 3:37
  enough,
• 3:37
  something
• 3:37
  stick,
• 3:38
  subtle
• 3:38
  starts
• 3:38
  happening
• 3:39
  to
• 3:39
  your
• 3:39
  confidence.
• 3:41
  A
• 3:41
  lot
• 3:41
  of
• 3:41
  women
• 3:42
  think
• 3:42
  perfectionism
• 3:42
  helps
• 3:43
  their
• 3:43
  confidence,
• 3:43
  but
• 3:44
  in
• 3:44
  actuality,
• 3:45
  it
• 3:45
  does
• 3:45
  a
• 3:45
  lot
• 3:45
  of
• 3:45
  damage
• 3:46
  because
• 3:47
  it
• 3:47
  feels
• 3:47
  like
• 3:47
  preparation.
• 3:49
  It
• 3:49
  feels
• 3:49
  like
• 3:49
  making
• 3:49
  sure
• 3:50
  you
• 3:50
  don't
• 3:50
  embarrass
• 3:51
  yourself.
• 3:51
  But
• 3:52
  perfectionism
• 3:52
  actually
• 3:53
  trains
• 3:53
  your
• 3:53
  brain
• 3:53
  to
• 3:54
  doubt
• 3:54
  you.
• 3:55
  Every
• 3:56
  time
• 3:56
  you
• 3:56
  delay
• 3:56
  action,
• 3:57
  waiting
• 3:57
  for
• 3:57
  something
• 3:58
  to
• 3:58
  be
• 3:58
  flawless,
• 3:59
  your
• 3:59
  brain
• 3:59
  interprets
• 4:00
  that
• 4:00
  hesitation
• 4:01
  as
• 4:01
  evidence.
• 4:02
  Evidence
• 4:03
  that
• 4:03
  you're
• 4:03
  not
• 4:03
  ready,
• 4:04
  evidence
• 4:04
  that
• 4:04
  you
• 4:05
  need
• 4:05
  more
• 4:05
  time,
• 4:06
  evidence
• 4:06
  that
• 4:07
  you
• 4:07
  don't
• 4:07
  know
• 4:08
  enough
• 4:08
  yet.
• 4:09
  And
• 4:09
  over
• 4:10
  time,
• 4:10
  your
• 4:10
  brain
• 4:11
  builds
• 4:11
  a
• 4:11
  story
• 4:11
  about
• 4:12
  you.
• 4:12
  A
• 4:13
  story
• 4:13
  that
• 4:13
  says,
• 4:13
  I'm
• 4:14
  not
• 4:14
  ready
• 4:14
  yet.
• 4:15
  I
• 4:15
  still
• 4:15
  need
• 4:16
  to
• 4:16
  figure
• 4:16
  it
• 4:16
  out.
• 4:17
  I
• 4:17
  shouldn't
• 4:18
  say
• 4:18
  anything
• 4:18
  until
• 4:18
  I'm
• 4:19
  sure.
• 4:19
  But
• 4:20
  confidence
• 4:20
  doesn't
• 4:21
  grow
• 4:21
  through
• 4:21
  certainty.
• 4:22
  Confidence
• 4:23
  grows
• 4:23
  through
• 4:24
  experience,
• 4:25
  through
• 4:25
  speaking
• 4:26
  up
• 4:26
  and
• 4:26
  realizing
• 4:27
  you
• 4:27
  survived
• 4:27
  the
• 4:27
  moment,
• 4:28
  through
• 4:29
  sharing
• 4:29
  something
• 4:29
  imperfect
• 4:30
  and
• 4:30
  realizing
• 4:31
  it
• 4:31
  still
• 4:31
  helps
• 4:32
  somebody
• 4:33
  through
• 4:33
  trying
• 4:34
  things,
• 4:34
  adjusting,
• 4:36
  learning
• 4:36
  and
• 4:37
  trying
• 4:37
  again.
• 4:39
  Perfectionism
• 4:40
  blocks
• 4:41
  that
• 4:41
  process.
• 4:43
  Because
• 4:43
  if
• 4:43
  you
• 4:43
  only
• 4:43
  allow
• 4:44
  yourself
• 4:44
  to
• 4:44
  move
• 4:45
  when
• 4:45
  everything
• 4:45
  is
• 4:46
  flawless,
• 4:47
  you
• 4:47
  remove
• 4:47
  the
• 4:47
  very
• 4:48
  experiences
• 4:48
  that
• 4:49
  builds
• 4:49
  confidence
• 4:50
  in
• 4:50
  the
• 4:50
  first
• 4:50
  place.
• 4:53
  And
• 4:54
  perfectionism
• 4:54
  doesn't
• 4:55
  just
• 4:55
  affect
• 4:55
  your
• 4:56
  work
• 4:56
  or
• 4:56
  your
• 4:56
  visibility.
• 4:57
  It
• 4:57
  also
• 4:58
  shows
• 4:58
  up
• 4:58
  in
• 4:58
  your
• 4:59
  relationships
• 4:59
  too.
• 5:00
  Too,
• 5:00
  it
• 5:01
  affects
• 5:01
  how
• 5:01
  you
• 5:01
  communicate.
• 5:02
  You
• 5:03
  might
• 5:03
  rehearse
• 5:03
  conversations
• 5:04
  in
• 5:04
  your
• 5:04
  head.
• 5:05
  You
• 5:05
  might
• 5:05
  overthink
• 5:06
  how
• 5:06
  something
• 5:06
  will
• 5:07
  be
• 5:07
  received.
• 5:08
  You
• 5:08
  might
• 5:08
  spend
• 5:09
  hours
• 5:09
  trying
• 5:09
  to
• 5:10
  figure
• 5:10
  out
• 5:10
  the
• 5:10
  right
• 5:10
  way
• 5:11
  to
• 5:11
  say
• 5:11
  something
• 5:11
  so
• 5:12
  that
• 5:12
  you
• 5:12
  don't
• 5:12
  upset
• 5:13
  anyone.
• 5:13
  Or
• 5:14
  sometimes
• 5:14
  you
• 5:14
  don't
• 5:15
  say
• 5:15
  anything
• 5:15
  at
• 5:15
  all
• 5:16
  because
• 5:16
  you're
• 5:17
  afraid
• 5:17
  that
• 5:17
  if
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  words
• 5:18
  don't
• 5:18
  come
• 5:18
  out
• 5:19
  perfectly,
• 5:19
  the
• 5:20
  relationship
• 5:20
  will
• 5:21
  shift.
• 5:22
  So
• 5:23
  you
• 5:23
  stay
• 5:23
  quiet.
• 5:24
  You
• 5:24
  tell
• 5:24
  yourself
• 5:25
  you're
• 5:25
  being
• 5:25
  patient
• 5:26
  or
• 5:26
  understanding
• 5:27
  or
• 5:28
  easygoing.
• 5:29
  And
• 5:29
  you
• 5:29
  downplay
• 5:30
  your
• 5:30
  needs.
• 5:31
  You
• 5:31
  avoid
• 5:32
  difficult
• 5:32
  conversations.
• 5:33
  And
• 5:34
  over
• 5:34
  time,
• 5:34
  something
• 5:35
  subtle
• 5:35
  starts
• 5:36
  happening.
• 5:37
  Tension
• 5:38
  starts
• 5:38
  building
• 5:39
  because
• 5:40
  your
• 5:40
  needs
• 5:40
  are
• 5:41
  still
• 5:41
  there.
• 5:42
  Your
• 5:42
  thoughts
• 5:43
  are
• 5:43
  still
• 5:43
  there,
• 5:44
  your
• 5:44
  feelings
• 5:45
  are
• 5:45
  still
• 5:45
  there.
• 5:47
  They're
• 5:47
  just
• 5:47
  waiting.
• 5:48
  And
• 5:49
  relationships
• 5:49
  don't
• 5:50
  grow
• 5:50
  through
• 5:51
  perfect
• 5:51
  communication.
• 5:52
  They
• 5:52
  grow
• 5:53
  through
• 5:53
  honest
• 5:54
  communication.
• 5:55
  And
• 5:55
  honesty
• 5:55
  is
• 5:56
  rarely
• 5:57
  polished.
• 5:59
  So
• 5:59
  this
• 5:59
  is
• 5:59
  where
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  illusion
• 6:00
  of
• 6:00
  perfectionism
• 6:01
  really
• 6:01
  breaks
• 6:01
  down.
• 6:02
  The
• 6:02
  women
• 6:02
  who
• 6:03
  appear
• 6:03
  the
• 6:04
  most
• 6:04
  confident
• 6:04
  are
• 6:05
  usually
• 6:05
  the
• 6:05
  ones
• 6:06
  who
• 6:06
  stop
• 6:06
  chasing
• 6:07
  perfection.
• 6:07
  The
• 6:07
  earliest
• 6:09
  they
• 6:09
  post
• 6:09
  the
• 6:09
  thought,
• 6:10
  they
• 6:10
  speak
• 6:10
  the
• 6:11
  idea,
• 6:11
  they
• 6:12
  say
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  thing.
• 6:13
  Not
• 6:13
  because
• 6:13
  it's
• 6:14
  flawless,
• 6:14
  but
• 6:15
  because
• 6:15
  it's
• 6:15
  real.
• 6:16
  And
• 6:16
  that
• 6:16
  realness
• 6:17
  feels
• 6:18
  so
• 6:18
  self
• 6:18
  trust.
• 6:21
  Now,
• 6:21
  if
• 6:21
  you're
• 6:21
  listening
• 6:21
  to
• 6:21
  this
• 6:22
  and
• 6:22
  you're
• 6:22
  thinking,
• 6:22
  wow,
• 6:22
  this
• 6:23
  actually
• 6:23
  sounds
• 6:23
  like
• 6:24
  me,
• 6:24
  first
• 6:24
  of
• 6:24
  all,
• 6:25
  you
• 6:25
  are
• 6:25
  not
• 6:25
  alone,
• 6:27
  and
• 6:27
  by
• 6:28
  no
• 6:28
  means
• 6:28
  am
• 6:28
  I
• 6:28
  telling
• 6:28
  you
• 6:28
  to
• 6:29
  lower
• 6:29
  your
• 6:29
  standards
• 6:29
  because
• 6:30
  we
• 6:30
  all
• 6:30
  have
• 6:30
  those.
• 6:31
  And
• 6:31
  most
• 6:31
  of
• 6:31
  the
• 6:31
  time,
• 6:31
  it's
• 6:32
  for
• 6:32
  good
• 6:32
  reason.
• 6:33
  However,
• 6:33
  in
• 6:34
  order
• 6:34
  for
• 6:34
  you
• 6:34
  to
• 6:34
  be
• 6:35
  productive
• 6:35
  and
• 6:35
  trust
• 6:36
  yourself
• 6:36
  more,
• 6:37
  there
• 6:37
  is
• 6:37
  a
• 6:37
  shift
• 6:38
  that
• 6:38
  needs
• 6:38
  to
• 6:38
  happen.
• 6:39
  That
• 6:39
  shift
• 6:40
  is
• 6:40
  redefining
• 6:41
  what
• 6:41
  progress
• 6:41
  looks
• 6:42
  like.
• 6:43
  Instead
• 6:43
  of
• 6:43
  asking,
• 6:44
  is
• 6:44
  this
• 6:44
  perfect?
• 6:45
  You
• 6:45
  start
• 6:46
  asking,
• 6:47
  is
• 6:47
  this
• 6:47
  honest?
• 6:49
  Is
• 6:49
  this
• 6:49
  helpful?
• 6:50
  Is
• 6:51
  this
• 6:51
  aligned
• 6:51
  with
• 6:52
  who
• 6:52
  I'm
• 6:53
  becoming?
• 6:54
  Because
• 6:54
  perfection
• 6:55
  keeps
• 6:55
  you
• 6:55
  performing,
• 6:56
  but
• 6:56
  alignment
• 6:57
  moves
• 6:57
  you
• 6:58
  forward.
• 6:58
  And
• 6:59
  forward
• 6:59
  is
• 6:59
  where
• 6:59
  confidence
• 7:00
  lives.
• 7:02
  Now,
• 7:03
  here's
• 7:03
  a
• 7:03
  small
• 7:03
  challenge
• 7:04
  for
• 7:04
  you
• 7:04
  this
• 7:04
  week.
• 7:05
  Pick
• 7:05
  one
• 7:06
  thing
• 7:06
  that
• 7:06
  you've
• 7:06
  been
• 7:06
  overthinking.
• 7:07
  One.
• 7:08
  Not
• 7:09
  ten,
• 7:09
  just
• 7:09
  one.
• 7:10
  And
• 7:11
  instead
• 7:11
  of
• 7:11
  perfecting
• 7:12
  it,
• 7:12
  release
• 7:13
  it.
• 7:14
  Send
• 7:14
  the
• 7:14
  email,
• 7:15
  post
• 7:15
  the
• 7:15
  thought,
• 7:16
  share
• 7:16
  the
• 7:17
  idea,
• 7:18
  have
• 7:18
  the
• 7:18
  conversation.
• 7:20
  Let
• 7:20
  it
• 7:20
  be
• 7:20
  human.
• 7:21
  Let
• 7:21
  it
• 7:22
  be
• 7:22
  imperfect.
• 7:23
  Let
• 7:23
  it
• 7:23
  be
• 7:23
  real.
• 7:24
  Because
• 7:25
  the
• 7:25
  moment
• 7:25
  you
• 7:25
  stop
• 7:26
  waiting
• 7:26
  for
• 7:26
  perfect
• 7:27
  is
• 7:27
  the
• 7:27
  moment
• 7:28
  that
• 7:28
  you
• 7:28
  start
• 7:28
  building
• 7:29
  confidence.
• 7:31
  And
• 7:31
  if
• 7:32
  you
• 7:32
  are
• 7:32
  realizing
• 7:32
  that
• 7:33
  perfectionism
• 7:33
  has
• 7:34
  been
• 7:34
  one
• 7:34
  of
• 7:34
  the
• 7:34
  ways
• 7:34
  you
• 7:35
  keep
• 7:35
  playing
• 7:35
  yourself
• 7:36
  small,
• 7:36
  you're
• 7:37
  not
• 7:37
  alone.
• 7:38
  So
• 7:38
  many
• 7:38
  ambitious
• 7:39
  women
• 7:39
  struggle
• 7:40
  with
• 7:40
  this,
• 7:41
  not
• 7:41
  because
• 7:41
  they
• 7:41
  lack
• 7:42
  ability,
• 7:42
  but
• 7:42
  because
• 7:43
  they
• 7:43
  care
• 7:43
  deeply
• 7:44
  about
• 7:44
  doing
• 7:45
  things
• 7:45
  well.
• 7:46
  And
• 7:46
  that
• 7:46
  is
• 7:47
  exactly
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  work
• 7:47
  that
• 7:48
  we
• 7:48
  do
• 7:48
  in
• 7:48
  becoming
• 7:49
  her.
• 7:49
  It's
• 7:50
  about
• 7:50
  rebuilding
• 7:51
  your
• 7:51
  self
• 7:51
  worth
• 7:52
  so
• 7:52
  that
• 7:52
  you
• 7:52
  stop
• 7:52
  meeting
• 7:53
  perfection
• 7:53
  to
• 7:53
  feel
• 7:54
  confident.
• 7:55
  It's
• 7:55
  about
• 7:55
  speaking
• 7:56
  up,
• 7:57
  setting
• 7:57
  boundaries,
• 7:58
  and
• 7:58
  showing
• 7:59
  up
• 7:59
  like
• 7:59
  the
• 7:59
  woman
• 8:00
  you
• 8:00
  are
• 8:00
  becoming.
• 8:01
  And
• 8:01
  if
• 8:02
  that's
• 8:02
  something
• 8:02
  that
• 8:02
  you've
• 8:02
  been
• 8:02
  craving,
• 8:03
  you
• 8:03
  can
• 8:03
  learn
• 8:04
  more
• 8:04
  in
• 8:04
  the
• 8:04
  show
• 8:04
  notes.
• 8:06
  Now,
• 8:07
  before
• 8:07
  I
• 8:07
  end
• 8:07
  this,
• 8:07
  I
• 8:08
  want
• 8:08
  you
• 8:08
  to
• 8:08
  sit
• 8:08
  with
• 8:09
  the
• 8:09
  idea
• 8:09
  that
• 8:09
  perfection
• 8:10
  isn't
• 8:11
  confidence.
• 8:12
  It's
• 8:13
  protection.
• 8:14
  Protection
• 8:15
  from
• 8:15
  being
• 8:15
  judged,
• 8:16
  protection
• 8:17
  from
• 8:17
  getting
• 8:17
  it
• 8:18
  wrong,
• 8:18
  protection
• 8:19
  from
• 8:19
  being
• 8:19
  seen
• 8:20
  too
• 8:20
  soon.
• 8:22
  But
• 8:22
  the
• 8:22
  life
• 8:22
  you
• 8:23
  want,
• 8:24
  the
• 8:24
  visibility
• 8:25
  you
• 8:25
  want,
• 8:25
  the
• 8:26
  confidence
• 8:26
  you
• 8:27
  want,
• 8:28
  none
• 8:28
  of
• 8:28
  it
• 8:28
  lives
• 8:29
  inside
• 8:29
  hiding.
• 8:31
  So
• 8:31
  this
• 8:31
  week,
• 8:32
  instead
• 8:32
  of
• 8:32
  asking
• 8:33
  yourself
• 8:33
  if
• 8:33
  something
• 8:33
  is
• 8:34
  perfect,
• 8:34
  asking,
• 8:35
  ask
• 8:35
  yourself
• 8:35
  if
• 8:36
  it's
• 8:36
  real.
• 8:37
  And
• 8:37
  if
• 8:37
  it
• 8:37
  is,
• 8:38
  let
• 8:39
  it
• 8:39
  be
• 8:39
  seen.
• 8:41
  Journal
• 8:41
  on
• 8:42
  that.
• 8:42
  Sit
• 8:42
  with
• 8:43
  that
• 8:44
  and
• 8:44
  make
• 8:45
  sure
• 8:45
  you're
• 8:45
  subscribed
• 8:45
  so
• 8:45
  you
• 8:46
  don't
• 8:46
  miss
• 8:46
  the
• 8:46
  next
• 8:46
  note.
• 8:47
  Because
• 8:47
  we're
• 8:47
  not
• 8:47
  just
• 8:48
  talking
• 8:48
  about
• 8:48
  confidence
• 8:49
  here.
• 8:49
  We're
• 8:50
  building
• 8:50
  it
• 8:51
  with
• 8:51
  love.
• 8:52
  Yeah.
• 8:52
  Yeah,
• 9:01
  Sam.
