It's time to train your thoughts. Let's get started.

Hey guys, this is Trish Blackwell and you are listening to the

Confidence Podcast. You're listening to episode 411 and today we're talking

about how to speak up for yourself with confidence, not just how to have a voice, but how to start using it in a way that projects, in a way that has influence, in a way that projects in a way that has influence in a way that you don't leave

second-guessing or recycling back through your whole conversation you had

with yourself because you have a voice and it's time to use it when we don't use our voices and don't speak up for ourselves or for what is right,

the world suffers by friend, the world suffers and not just them but the world and so do we.

Because when you're stifling a gift that God has put in you if you are stifling and silencing the words that God has put on

your heart to serve and show up in the world and

use to encourage or build or or stand up for what is right and you are stifling

your spirit and it's really hard to squash your inner self

and expect yourself to feel confident

or walk this through this life confidently.

It's time to start speaking with confidence

even if you've never done so before.

So what we will be diving into in the show is how to do that,

how to start speaking up.
