326. 6 Tips for Building Confidence

THE SOLO Confidence is so key. Yes, we’ve all heard it before, but some things are cliché for a reason. K + L each offer three tried-and-true tips for being more confident, all born from their personal experiences. But remember — confidence is always going to be something personal to you. It doesn’t have to look the same as someone else, and it doesn’t even have to look like sunshine and rainbows. Confidence is something you work on getting closer to, and you never quite get there fully, but it’s so worth working towards all the same. We also talk about: Working towards confidence Facing hard things Finding quiet to hear our own voices Channeled writing Appreciating your body Engaging in self-care Looking back on your progress Find more to love at almost30podcast.com!

322. Community Call #1: Finding Confidence in Community

THE SOLOK + L have been wanting to connect with the community two-on-one for a while and are so excited to finally share the first of many conversations in their new series, “Community Call”! We’ve been wanting to hear from YOU - Almost 30 nation - and how you’ve been impacted by the show, taken the messages shared by guests or other members of the community, and have made serious, positive changes in your life. Joining them this week is Emily Feikls, who first discovered the podcast when she was 18 and struggling with finding like-minded friends in her rural town. At the time, Emily felt like an outsider, like she didn’t belong to any community — but she felt an instant connection to #ALMOST30NATION as soon as she found it. She then took small steps to take control of her life and live in her truth - including attending last year’s retreat and starting her very own podcast and community. Emily is an inspiration, modeling for all of us how you can alchemize pain + grief into a beautiful life that you love.We also talk about: How an 18-year old gets into Almost 30 Feeling like an outsider in your geographical community Finding your voice Leaving your comfort zone Feeling support within an online community Find more to love at almost30podcast.com! Love:Acuity is an incredible way to streamline your schedule.
