Saturday I had the honour of speaking at the Unapologetically You event with the BE EMBRACED FOUNDATION in downtown Vancouver.
My talk was called The Confidence Switch and we got into something I teach about a lot: confidence isn’t a personality trait you either have or you don’t. It’s a state. And like any state, it can be interrupted, redirected, and switched on when you need it most.
We talked about breaking old patterns, getting clear on what we actually want, and how to stop letting outdated programming make decisions for us. Real tools for real life, rooted in hypnosis and human behaviour change.
The energy in that room was something else. Women showing up for themselves, ready to do the work. That kind of audience makes everything better.
Huge thank you to Birgit Geismayr for having me and to the incredible Susan and Rupa from UROSPOT for sharing the stage. And to every woman in that room on Saturday, you were the best part.
If you’ve ever wanted to understand why confidence feels so hard to access under pressure, and what you can actually do about it, this is the work I do every day at Pleasant Hypnosis in Vancouver.
Already looking forward to the next one!
