  You're listening to 5-Minute Pocket Pep Talks. I'm Nadia Chapman,
• 0:04
  and this one is for the moment that matter.
• 0:08
  That big day, the hard conversation, the spotlight, the leap,
• 0:12
  the job interview, the performance, whatever it is that you're about to go through.
• 0:16
  And you're questioning if you've got what it takes, let this be your reset,
• 0:20
  your grounding, your reminder.
• 0:23
  Right now, you might be feeling nervous, doubtful, even shaky,
• 0:27
  like maybe you're not ready.
• 0:30
  That voice in your head might be saying, what if I mess up? What if I forget everything?
• 0:35
  What if I'm not good enough? But listen to me closely. That voice is fear talking.
• 0:42
  It's not truth. And the truth is this.
• 0:45
  If you've got something big ahead of you, it means that you care.
• 0:49
  It means that you're standing on the edge of your growth. And that growth always
• 0:54
  comes with nerves. It has to, because you're about to stretch into something
• 0:59
  more, something bigger, into more of who you are.
• 1:03
  So what if those nerves that you're feeling right now are not a bad sign?
• 1:08
  What if they're the confirmation that you're right where you're supposed to be?
• 1:11
  You don't need to feel 100% confident to act like it.
• 1:16
  You can walk in with shaking hands. You can feel the fear and still do the thing.
• 1:21
  Because confidence is in the absence of nerves. it's the decision to move forward despite nerves.
• 1:28
  So when that doubt creeps in, don't try to silence it. Just talk back with something stronger.
• 1:34
  Try this. I don't need to be perfect. I just need to be present.
• 1:39
  I've trained for this moment. I've earned this moment.
• 1:42
  I can trust myself even when I'm scared.
• 1:46
  So say that again and again until your body remembers who you are.
• 1:51
  Think of everything that's brought you to this point, every late night,
• 1:55
  every I'll try again, every setbacks that you've had that you pushed through,
• 1:59
  that wasn't for nothing.
• 2:00
  That was your training. That was your preparation. That was becoming.
• 2:04
  And now you're here, not because you got lucky, not because someone handed you
• 2:09
  a pass, but because you've done the work.
• 2:12
  You've done the hard work. So no, you're not just ready. You're built for this.
• 2:18
  You've already survived so many things you thought would break you.
• 2:21
  And this, this is the moment you rise.
• 2:25
  So take a deep breath and feel your feet on the ground and step forward,
• 2:30
  not because you have to prove anything, but because you're ready to express what's inside of you.
• 2:35
  This is your time. This is your moment.
• 2:38
  You're more ready than you feel and stronger than you know. You've got this.
• 2:42
  You were built for big moments, and this is yours. I'm so proud of you.
• 2:47
  Go get it. This has been your five-minute pocket pep talk.
• 2:50
  Come back to this whenever you forget what you're made of.
