I feel a betrayal of privacy and trust. And how do we get the other person to actually listen and hear us during disagreement? I'm not sure how to word this but basically how to be respectful, yet strong in your stance when the other person is adamant they are right and unwilling to budge. How do you work together when the other person isn't willing to.   HOW TO BE MORE LIKED, THE MASTERCLASS We all want to be more liked. And now I'm going to teach you how. Yes, ultimately, the way to be liked is to like yourself first, and so that's where we'll be starting. Grab a seat at my newest masterclass before we retire it and learn: How to like yourself (an...

  Podcast #462 Confidence For When You Feel Different or Just Plain Discouraged We live in a chaotic world filled with conflicting opinions everywhere you turn. In a world that is more connected than ever, we are more divided, more lonely, more isolated and more conflicted internally on standing strong in our own opinions, even when they are unpopular or simply opposed by those closest to us. This podcast goes into depth on how to stay confident in yourself, in your relationships and in your hope for the future when the evidence you have in front of you is that division is pressing and discouragement is around every turn.   In this episode of The Confidence Podcast we're talking about: How to feel confident about the future when the future feels so discouragingCreating connection with others in a world of divisionThe secret to believing that life is different, but still good.   REVIEW OF THE WEEK: Trish Blackwell Confidence Podcast - 5 Stars, A Will NC Trish - you never disappoint. I have been a listener for years, a member of your college, and we worked one-on-one, as well. I am on the edge of a big change at work and needed some extra confidence. I was feeling myself teeter into thinking about staying small instead of taking the risk and chasing my purpose .I needed several hours of you in my ear to straighten my backbone. Thank you for hanging with me all day. It started with the very timely assertive podcast, followed by your entire people pleaser course in the College of Confidence. I knew from our work together that I was beginning to give into other people's comfort and sacrificing my goals and my gifts. I am happy to say that I am forging ahead and will be having a tough, but needed conversation today, unapologetically, I might say, because other people's feelings are not my responsibility! Cheers to being me and being free. Thank you!!!!   THE QUESTION THAT PROMPTED TODAY'S EPISODE: How do we appropriately "mourn"/bid farewell to life before 2020 and then still be filled with hope for life beyond it, beyond now? I keep getting so overwhelmed with feelings of will people always disagree? Will I ever travel again? Will my kids ever see the rest of the world? I know these are all "what ifs" and not at all productive. I also know that covid won't ever fully go away any time soon. So how do I find a peaceful reality affirmation that life is different but still good?   HOW TO STAY ENCOURAGED WHEN THE FUTURE FEELS DISCOURAGING Thank you for this question. I too am having all of the thoughts, and here's how I'm exiting them  from taking unnecessary space in my brain. I encourage myself that of ALL the years of the history of the world, God decided that I was best fit to live HERE, NOW, in 2020, 2021. I want to argue with this, but I trust His sovereignty and that makes me feel capable of standing strong in believing that yes, I AM WELL ABLE to not just survive these years and this transition of culture/life/limitations/pandemic, but to THRIVE in it.  What our new "normal" looks like is going to be different, but I assure you, it will be good. Happiness is something you decide on ahead of time. You arrange your mind to be happy, you don’t wait for life’s circumstances to arrange themselves for you to be happy The happy brain is the person who experiences a happy life.A happy life doesn't happen because of the way normal looks like, the amount of travel we get to do or the circumstances in our lives. A happy brain is arranged to be happy. So, I can't arrange the future, but I can arrange my brain on how I want to think about the future, how I want to think about the past, and how I want to think about the present.

  Podcast #461 How to Make People Like You More Wanting people to like us is a part of being human, but sometimes a misplaced desire, or ineffective ability to connect with others creates inner insecurity. Get coached on the 3 basics on how to make people like you more, starting with first learning how to like yourself. When you master your focus on these 3 basics, you'll be more able to stop caring what people think and to have more social confidence when meeting new people and wanting them to like you.  It's okay to have a desire to be more liked. Let's just go about it in a confident, courageous, authentic, and powerful way.   In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, we're talking about .. How to make people like you moreThe secret to not caring what people thinkHaving confidence when meeting new people (and wanting them to like you)   REVIEW OF THE WEEK: The Most Helpful Brain Training Podcast on the Internet.- 5 Stars (Kelsey Sis) This podcast came at the perfect time for me personally. I cannot recommend it enough and continue to tell all my friends (and counselor - had to give that plug because I know you read these and they are pro-therapy about it as well, Trish, I'm your biggest cheerleader right now!) Having grown up in the church and worked in ministry for several years alongside my husband (before pursuing alternative careers) I am realizing how ill equipped and uniformed I was on what it meant to "take my thoughts captive." That verse just always felt like a nice suggestion, certainly not something that was ever possible. Trish takes this verse and concept and through her podcast equips us with the tools and practices necessary to TRULY take our thoughts captive. Whether you consider yourself faith-based or not, this is the most practical podcast I have ever listened to when it comes to training our brains. I believe for me personally it's the faith aspect that's helped it click in a whole new level for me spiritually. So grateful you've pursued this calling. I'm signing up for Patreon as well - I'm all ears on any advice Trish has to offer. The real deal.  THANK YOU!!!

  Podcast #460 How to Be Confident in Uncertainty and with the Unknown Ahead Life is filled with uncertainty and tons of unknowns, so learning how to stay confident in unpredictability is key to living with unshakeable confidence. Get a sneak peek into a chapter of my newest book, Straighten Your Crown, and how I have learned to embrace the unpredictability of life with an adventurous, open and light spirit, and how you can too.   In this episode of The Confidence Podcast, I'm giving you a sneak peak like I've never done before. You'll hear one of my favorite chapters of my newest book Straighten Your Crown: Rediscovering that You are Seen, You Matter, and the King Delights in YouMy favorite thoughts that I go to when finding myself in a place of uncertaintyThe affirmations I use when I feel overwhelmed with the unknown or life that feels out of my control   SNEAK PEAK TO THE AUDIOBOOK Chapter 6: Discovering Delight in the Unknown[INSERT IMAGE OF BOOK "BUY NOW" HERE and link to:https://www.amazon.com/Straighten-Your-Crown-Rediscovering-Delights/dp/0578943298/ref=sr_1_2?crid=9H7DZQLZ3ETY&dchild=1&keywords=straighten+your+crown+trish+blackwell&qid=1631396746&sr=8-2]   REVIEW OF THE WEEK: Anointed, refreshing! 5-Stars -boisanadarapsan I recently heard Trish read one of her one star reviews in which someone said that the podcast was "basic" and that Trish was not a psychologist so maybe she should not be teaching on these things. I could not disagree more. I am a marriage and family therapist, and even though I am a professional in the mental health field, I can tell you for a fact that Trish has amazingly FRESH insightful ways of presenting information that will change your life. It's not so much about education…don't get me wrong, it's important, sure - but I can tell you from being in the field in a formal capacity that the most likely predictor of someone actually changing/growing is the connection they have with the therapist, not how "trained" they are. So when I relate that to Trish, the relationship we listeners have with her as a podcaster has so much to do with her God-given anointing in the way that she teaches and her God-given **amazing personality!!!** Some of the most influential and best teachers of all time had no formal training. When God anoints you, that is what matters!!! "God doesn't call the qualified, he qualifies the called.!" If God's hand is on you nothing is going to stop you and his hand is clearly on Trish. I adore your personality Trish, I am a faithful listener, you are so amazing and I learn from you all the time! Keep up the amazing calling God has put on your life. You are a blessing to so many, myself included! We love you. God bless you.   SPONSORSHIP NOTE: BETTERHELP Is there something interfering with your happiness?

My time with the NC State Wolfpack Women Swimmers & Divers and Wolfpack Women Gymnasts was absolutely incredible. It's been a week since I was with these rockstars from @packswimdive and @wolfpackgymanstics, and I'm still absolutely BUZZING with excitement about the season these women have ahead of them. These ladies are some of the top athletes in the country, and in the world.  And last week then gave me their full focus, their total buy-in and their hearts for over 12 HOURS of workshop time with me. It was epic. I have a ridiculous amount of confidence in what this year holds for these swimmers, divers and gymnasts. They are more mentally primed and deeply confident in the belief of their future success --- I can't wait to watch them wow themselves this year and exceed even their own expectations. Thank you Wolfpack Women for the privilege of being your mindset coach and confidence coach. Here's to an amazing year ahead!!! In these workshop weekends I teach athletes how to use the power of words to their advantage to become better athletes, better teams and better individuals. In my workshops we work to unify the mind and body to work in perfect symmetry, ensuring that physical talent and training is also matched by mental resilience and a desire for mental excellence.
