Refusing to Settle - Personally and Professionally | Lauryn and Michael Bosstick

Lauryn Evarts Bosstick (0:00)

Confidence comes from within. And I know that's so cliche, but confidence comes from keeping the promises that you make to yourself.

So if you say that you're gonna work out every single day at 6 a.m. and you miss three days that week, that's not building your confidence. So for me, I would set these goals and then create systems to get to the goals, and I would meet the goals. And even if it was a little goal, it doesn't have to be a big goal.

One day could be, you know, host a giveaway for my five followers. Whatever it is, make, keep those promises that you make yourself and keep doing it day after day after day. That's what's gonna build your confidence muscle. I think a lot of people are looking for outside validation for confidence. It really does come from within.

I want to take a minute here to announce a really exciting event that we have coming up. As you continue to navigate the challenges and opportunities of 2024, I want to pose a question.

So, this week's conversation is unique.

It's with Lauryn Evarts Bosstick and Michael Bosstick. It's our first husband and wife duo on Finding Mastery, and it definitely does not disappoint.

The reason I'm excited about the timeliness of this is because many of us who are in relationships, we're working from home, we're living at work, I mean, it's all confusing. And we dive into that in this conversation. So, Lauryn and Michael, they host a top podcast called The Skinny Confidential, Him and Her. Michael is also the CEO and co-founder of the Dear Media Podcast Network. It's the first and leading podcast network that's focused on female voices, audiences, and narratives.
