Routine

I'm backkk! In this episode, I overview a thought-provoking discussion I had with some friends a few weeks ago regarding why it's so easy to find things we like about others but it might be hard to think of those things for yourself.

This week, I talk about my personal experience with performing (on stage, in a classroom setting, athletically) and the things I have gained from the discomfort of performing. 

In this episode, I take on the challenge of being my own podcast guest. I speak about the benefits of keeping a routine for one's individual lifestyle. I also speak about the associated challenges and some ways I work around them.  I'm not a professional so the best advice does not come from me. I'm just giving my humble opinion lolz. Regardless, be proud of yourself today! Showing up is half the work. 

This week, I spoke with Mr.D, my school's athletic director about how athletics can benefit us in a multitude of ways. We also discuss different motivations of an athlete and the goal to have a healthy relationship with the gym. Hope you learn or reflect on something new! Thanks for listening.  As always, go check out the Instagram @confidenceboostpodcast for updates and podcasts teasers! 

In this quick episode, I had the privilege of meeting Ms.Charley, a teacher at my school, along with 6 of her drama students in grades 2,3, and 4 about why they do drama. This episode also includes topics like the mood meter, social-emotional learning (SEL), Self-regulation, and things that make us happy.  Confidence Tots is a series within the Confidence Boost podcast that specifically focuses on kids (or tots) aged 12 and under. I think interviewing kids is important because there's tons of evidence that suggests that a lot of our behaviors stem from childhood. I feel that by interviewing children, someone in an older demographic might really resonate with what they say. Plus, kids surprise us with how intelligent they are.  I'm super grateful to have talked with these tots this week.

In this episode, I have the privilege of conversing with Becca, my school social worker, about confidence in high school, mindset, and taking care of ourselves. Hope you're able to relate to this, take away a new idea, or just be able to reflect. Thanks so much for listening! It means a lot ❤️❤️❤️ If you have any suggestions on what you'd like to hear from this show in the future, I'd love to hear them. My Instagram DMs are open and I have an anonymous feedback form in my bio.  Hoping everyone has an awesome, fun, and productive week. Dropkick that homework (in a figurative sense) but its ok if you don't because no one likes homework lol. k bye.

In this episode, my friend, Amelia joins me in discussing the importance of kindness and self-reflection as we work towards becoming the best, most confident version of ourselves. We hear about this through Amelia's various stories and our reminisces about summer camp. I really hope you enjoy it!

In this episode, Grace joins me in discussing themes we notice as students in our high school community. She adds a lot of humor to our conversation and definitely makes the topic fun to talk about and lighthearted. We also speak about how our feelings and habits have changed during and after the pandemic. Finally, we touch on the idea of confidence versus cringe when it comes to posting and consuming social media. 

Hi!! My name is Leah and welcome to Confidence Boost! This is a show where we'll be interviewing people about their experiences with feelings and confidence or speaking with some professionals about how our brain works or why it does what it does. I hope you get your daily boost of confidence and thanks for checking the pod out! <3 <3
