Want to be more confident? Maybe you need to practice more.
That's the philosophy of author, TedX speaker, podcast and TV host Amy Schmidt.
Amy's "why not me and why not now" philosophy has made her an expert in mid-life reinvention.
Amy co-hosts the Better Than Gossip podcast and streaming TV show. The show's tagline, ageless advice for timeless women, promotes the idea that most problems are solvable with help and empathy from friends.
She says she's noticed many people complaining about a loss of confidence after everything we've been through in the last few years.
Her advice?
Recruit a good friend/ accountability partner and ask them a simple question: "what am I good at?"
"When you really dig into that conversation with someone you really trust that accountability partner and they say, 'you know what, I admire your confidence around public speaking. I love the way you can just, you know, go to a PTA meeting, and you can stand up and take charge. Or, I love the way when you walk into a yoga class, you kind of are this light.' You find out these things about yourself and you're like, 'wow I should do more of that.' That is the stepping stone to building more confidence."
