Becoming A More Confident YOU
The WISDOM podcast Season 1 Episode 6
TIMESTAMPS:
Podcast Intro: 0-2:12 | Free Bonus Curated Content to Download for this Episode! 2:13 | What Makes A Person Confident? 3:55 | The Definition of Confidence: 5:54 | The Three Most Effective Ways to Build Self-Confidence: 8:36 | The Rationale for These Three Best Practices 12:30 | Growing Your Confidence: 16:54 | BONUS Practice #1: 17:34 | BONUS Practice #2: 22:06
Learn how to retrain your brain with 3 confidence-hacking strategies that will supercharge your self esteem.
Implement simple habits to foster a daily practice that nourishes you.
If you’ve always looked to successful and confident people and wondered what their secret is, this episode is for you.
In this episode we dive into what makes a person confident and how you can grow your confidence to extreme levels by choice because confidence grows with your affirmative words of yourself.
What makes a person confident?
How can you raise your confidence levels?
How can you hack your confidence to help you live the life you want?
Learn 3 simple strategies to retrain your mind using the techniques of affirmative language.
As you develop a daily practice using these 3 strategies, you begin to feel encouraged by your words and as you take the steps towards completing what is most meaningful to you ~ and which nourishes your inner being.
Confidence is a person’s belief that a chosen course of action is the right choice and that they can properly perform that action.
As a personality trait, confidence is sometimes referred to as self-confidence.
This term describes the attitudes and beliefs someone holds regarding their abilities and strengths.
How do you define confidence? What does it mean to you?
Use the strategies here in these best practices to help mobilize you towards building a more confident you as a personality trait and as belief in your ability to make the right choices for yourself and to be successful in your actions.
ONE: The first practice of self-confidence is the importance of mindfulness of what you say to yourself at all times.
What you tell yourself, you believe.
Be far more attentive and discerning to your inner dialogue.
TWO: Choose deliberately the words that you speak both inwardly and aloud (and what images you hold in your mind).
Begin to define the beliefs that you want to hold regardless of whether you believe in them fully yet.
Confidence grows with encouragement and kindness. You must be willing to see your goodness, and to acknowledge what makes you uniquely different, special, and talented. (Sometimes this may be precisely what we have been teased or judged harshly for).
How you are different from others is often a strength.
THREE: Confidence grows when you take action, when you challenge yourself in new situations and as you learn and improve.
Your encouraging words spoken inward and aloud remind you of your strengths and positive traits is how you feel encouraged to try new things, to better yourself further and to take more positive action which in turn builds confidence and competency.
When you challenge yourself to grow and become better through positive action, you grow confidence and belief in yourself.
These 3 practices also require your ongoing effort as you are teaching yourself how to think differently.
It will be helpful if you can enjoy nurturing these practices as you grow confidence and belief in yourself and as you nurture esteem and worth.
Self esteem and self confidence transcend every thought, every action, and all of how you feel. If you would like my help to build and redefine your confidence, please reach out to me. Your confidence is so valuable for what you believe is possible for yourself and your life.
As a challenge, if you would like more practice in being a more confident version of yourself, you can make a pact to become the very best version of who you are.
Set out to change one thing about yourself that you have been wanting to improve. Let yourself gather what information you need to make this change. Seek out what professional help, books, courses, and any other support that will allow you to be successful at this. The happier you are with who you are, and how you are choosing to be, the more your confidence grows. Choose something to change that you feel inspired by. As you begin to make changes to one aspect of your life, you will likely notice other desired changes being easier to make.
Make an effort to change even if the change you want takes time; doing so will be so rewarding and it will boost your confidence in your ability to make other changes.
Make it a priority to become the very best version of you; and to begin this now.
As a special offering of love and something that will also help immensely each time you experience it, enjoy the guided visualization 'I AM' that I've curated specifically for becoming more confident and for believing in yourself. It will help you visualize how you want to be - now, and to live as this even whilst you are manifesting and growing your confidence.
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

If You Doubt Your Greatness, Do You Have The Imposter Syndrome?
The WISDOM Podcast Season 1 Episode 4
~ Our beliefs about our self and our abilities are established very early in life.
The words and messages that we repeatedly heard in childhood become what we think and believe. ~
Our caregivers have but one precious opportunity to help us nurture and develop healthy self-esteem and this occurs during the earliest part of our life. –
Fundamentally we learn our core beliefs in the first five years of life ~ much of which as we take in so much information about how to navigate successfully in our environment and within the social mores and customs of the world at large.
We need unconditional love and nurturing to develop trust in our self and our abilities and to thrive in the world.
Feeling secure and safe helps build our confidence to be self-reliant and successful ~ and to know that we are *lovable* and *good enough.*
---
Self-critical thoughts may cause us to doubt our abilities, to experience anxiety and to self-sabotage our inherent potential. These thoughts and beliefs originate as the well rehearsed messages from childhood that continue to haunt us and overtake our rational mind.
It takes so little to convince an innocent child that they are undeserving or not good enough.
Critical and berating words spoken by others (and our self) become the repetitive and discouraging ‘negative’ inner dialogue that causes self-doubt and a lack of belief (usually experienced as anxiety, fear, and a lack of confidence).
---
Though the imposter phenomenon isn’t an official diagnosis listed in the DSM-V, Psychologists and others acknowledge that it is a very real and specific form of *intellectual self-doubt*.
By definition, most people with imposter feelings suffer in silence.
Most people don’t talk about out of fear that they will be found out. –
*Source: American Psychological Association*
---
I see this often in my work with clients and it is through self-honesty and the willingness to hold up a metaphorical mirror to one’s self ~ to decide and commit to the changes that are needed that one no longer feels like an imposter.
On a spiritual level, you feel like a fraud or imposter because you know that you are not living your life in a way that is congruent to your highest self and in the most honorable way that you could.
It isn’t entirely about believing in one’s successes and ability without stepping up and into one’s truth.
That is living as the highest and best version of yourself as much as possible, that allows you to feel confident, worthy, and to own your successes completely.
If you find this notion insightful, and it is something that holds true for you, consider the moments in which you live authentic and of your highest self, when you are living your truth and when you are being your beautiful, loving, generous self.
Notice if in these same moments you feel certain, confident, and powerful and in which you own your abilities and successes in the world. Your feelings of being an imposter may also be the precipice for seeking to live your truth and for igniting your spiritual path in the direction of your highest self.
The compelling questions for so many people who identify with this phenomena is:
"HOW DO I FIX THIS?"
and...
How can I begin to believe that the good things that happen to me, including my successes and accomplishments, are because I am deserving, capable, and worthy of success?
DO YOU HAVE IMPOSTER SYNDROME?
(Featured Inside The JUNO app)
In therapy, I help clients identify the incorrect core beliefs that they have been taught to believe from a much earlier age. This is a powerful means of eradicating the underlying and often indiscernible root cause of self-doubt and the belief that one is a fraud (aka: an imposter). This process is intimate and personal, since each individual has their own set of both positive and problematic core beliefs. Identifying your problematic core beliefs is the first step in changing, and forming what are called new and accurate beliefs.
I then help clients to challenge and rewrite their problematic core beliefs with new statements that they know to be true. For some, this is relatively easy since when they discover the core belief that underlies their daily thought patterns, they realize instantly how incorrect it is. For others who believe their damaging core belief to be true – it is because they have lived it for some time; having found (whether real or imagined) what they believe is proof for their damaging core belief.
In either instance, there is a process for challenging problematic and untrue core beliefs that works extremely well in helping to eradicate an individual’s untrue belief and thus changing their perspective and their thoughts of themselves forever.

The POWER of Emotional Connection In Your Love Relationship
The WISDOM podcast Season 1 Episode 2
:: timestamps ::
Podcast Intro: 0 - 1:40 | Two Important 'Takeaways' From This Episode: 2:12 | The Four Ways to Build Emotional Connection and Intimacy: 4:52 | The Definition of Emotional Intimacy and Connection: 9:55 | How Emotional Connection Happens: 13:41 | One Assumption You Might Have About Love: 14:11 | The Two Questions to Ask Yourself Which Determine Whether You Have Emotional Connection In Your Love Relationship: 16:35 | Emotional Connection is Not The Same As Sexual Chemistry: 18:42 | My Clients' Story - 'Meghan and Danny': 22:21 | Naiken Reflective practice tool for Cultivating Awareness and Emotional Connection: 36:15 | Podcast Outro: 37:59 💗
In this episode of The WISDOM podcast, I share with you the four ways that emotional connection and intimacy are built, how to rebuild connection and intimacy and the real life story of my client Meghan* who thought that the connection and intimacy that she felt was mutual, until she got to know her partner Danny* far better.
One of the most important elements in determining the longevity of a mutually loving and healthy relationship is the degree to which both members of a couple feel emotional intimacy and connection.
In this episode, we dive into what is most needed and what holds a love relationship together through life's challenging moments, allowing a couple to feel an intimate and special closeness, the desire to remain faithful and committed to one another, and to continue to learn about each other. This is a depth of emotional intimacy and connection that is cultivated and sustained throughout the course of the relationship.

How You Build Emotional Connection and Intimacy:
- Authenticity: be honest and truthful about who you are; be willing to reveal your personality, including your 'likes' and 'dislikes', what you think about and believe in, and the values that you hold.
- Vulnerability: Your willingness to reveal personal and intimate aspects of yourself (as you feel safe to do so) that you would not likely share with the rest of the world; admit your faults and wrong doings and be willing to apologize and make things right when you have hurt someone (including your partner).
- Mutual Respect: Be willing to uphold and maintain respect and kindness towards your partner even when you both may be in the throws of an argument (because you can destroy so much of the closeness and vulnerability that comes from opening yourself and sharing deeply when you are not respectful nor kind; or if you are at times - purposefully hurtful or vindictive).
- Unconditional Love: be love; purely, completely, and without conditions or expectations.
"Emotional connection in a love relationship is built on the intimate sharing of who you are, the personal details of your life (past and present), your future dreams and aspirations and who you still desire to be.
Connection and intimacy is cultivated out of your discerned liking (and love) of someone, your genuine interest and desire to learn and know more about the other person and to willingly reveal your whole self - with complete honesty and openness." - dorothy zennuriye juno
"One critical element required by both members of a couple when building emotional connection is complete honesty."
- dorothy zennuriye juno
It is in being vulnerable and wholly honest with yourself first, that allows you to become more aware of what you may be in denial or avoidance of.
The deepest aspects of your self that you are able to reveal to your partner are often the aspects that need to be healed from your past.
In the early stages of dating, when you like someone and want to appear favourable in their eyes, it is natural that you want to show them the parts of your self that you want them to see.
The (deeper) emotional connection that you establish is built on your mutual ability to be vulnerable, to reveal all of your self even in moments when you are not at your best; and to consistently offer unconditional love, respect and kindness to your partner.
You must speak up if their behaviour is undesirable or unkind but you can do so with love, respectfully.
This allows you to feel safe, to be secure in the commitment of your relationship and to strengthen your belief in your worthiness of being loved.
"Emotional connection is established and deepened by your ability to trust in another wholeheartedly and to feel safe and secure that you will be accepted unconditionally and not judged for who you are."
- dorothy zennuriye juno
"Our emotions serve as a strong indicator and a launching point for all of the choices we make since we are most influenced by how we feel.
The more information we acquire about someone that is pleasing to us (for example, as they present to us as sharing similar values, beliefs and life goals), the more appealing we find them as a potential life mate, and the greater our desire and attraction towards them."
'Emotional connection and support is expressed most readily through loving words, understanding, patience and thoughtfulness.'
And a loving end note: Regardless of how long you have been in relationship with someone, the emotional connection must continue to be nurtured and coveted as sacred.
Sexual intimacy and physical affection can definitely help to keep an emotional connection strong. It is also important that a couple be intimate in their sharing of thoughts and feelings, in working together on their life plans and goals ~ and in who each is becoming.

How to LIVE Your Greatness
The WISDOM podcast Season 1 Episode 1
TIMESTAMPS:
Podcast Intro: 0-1:32 | Intro to Episode: What is your Greatness? 1:33-3:31 | What Does It Mean to Live Your Greatness? 5:38 | How to Begin Your Journey of Greatness: 8:36 | A Bonus Strategy for Tapping into Your True Potential Now: 10:10 | My Ideal Self ('bonus guided meditation'): 11:36 | The Importance of Living Your Life's Purpose: 6:57
Your G R E A T N E S S is both your incredible potential for all that you are becoming and what you already are.
You live your greatness most readily (and naturally) by being your authentic self.
Your authentic or genuine self is another way to describe living your truth.
Here in Episode One of The Wisdom Podcast, I define what spiritual greatness is, how it has nothing to do with ego, rather the conscious and deliberate way that you live your life ~ that aligns you with your infinite potential.
In this episode we dive into how you may live your greatness each day and how doing so actually helps you to feel far better about yourself and to own your worth.
TRUTH SERUM: Greatness is not ego-centric, rather it is a way of describing your infinite potential as a being of love.
You live your greatness through deliberate acts of kindness, generosity, compassion; through being of service and giving of yourself, and by being loving without boundaries, expectations, or conditions.
A-HA MOMENTS: You also live your greatness when you are living as your ideal or highest self.
This is living as the pure and most loving aspect of what you are. Your highest self is often referred to as your inner being, source energy, the divine, and universal consciousness.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: You live your greatness by choosing a life that is authentic, based on knowing yourself best.
When you allow yourself to expressively be your authentic self; when you follow a path of what you enjoy most; (and likely what you are naturally good at) and when you allow your inner guidance or intuition to guide you along a path of what is 'right' and 'best' for you; these are examples of living as your greatness - as your truth.
"Your true potential is your limitless capacity for greatness"
"You live your greatness by choosing a life that is authentic, based on knowing yourself best." - dorothy zennuriye juno
As a gift, I invite you to experience a Guided Meditation; titled 'My Ideal Self'. You can experience your ideal self as a series of new thought ideas and a blueprint that inspires how you can live each day - even if you are new to the practice of Meditation.
All that you need to do is choose the space and time to be quiet and still, and to remain open without expectations.
During this meditation, allow your imagination to reveal the sacred imagery that will help you experience yourself as greatness.
I hope that you will feel encouraged to live your greatness, to appreciate every moment of your life, and to find - and live - your life's purpose.

The Three Practices of Self-Love
The WISDOM podcast Season 1 Debut Episode
:: episode timestamps ::
Introduction to Self-Love: 2:11 | The First Self-Love Practice: 3:40 | The Second Self-Love Practice: 7:38 | The Third Self-Love Practice: 9:44 | One Additional Benefit to Your Self-Love 'Work': 10:50
In this debut episode of The WISDOM podcast, I share the three most important practices of self-love.
Use these practices daily to feel confident, to feel deep appreciation and love of yourself and to be autonomous and self-empowered because of what thoughts and feelings you choose to hold.
Our rearing and societal influences have taught us to look to others for approval and to feel loved, valuable and worthy.
Many of us continue to look to our existing love relationship to feel complete and to prove to others and our self that we are desirable and good enough.
We also look to our partner to love us in the ways that we need to be loved; and often without communicating our expectations of them.
Yet, without being able to provide love and care unto yourself, you never learn what it feels like to be whole.
TRUTH SERUM: How good are you at practicing self-love?
Use these three practices of self-love daily to feel confident, to feel deep appreciation and love of yourself; and to be autonomous and self-empowered because of what thoughts and feelings you choose to hold.
How you think and feel about yourself needs to reflect the truth ~ all that you are capable of and your inherent goodness; including your positive qualities and your effort to be your best self.
A-HA MOMENTS: When you acknowledge your goodness while holding the feeling of love in your heart, you validate and nourish your being.
PRACTICAL WISDOM: Acknowledging your strengths, your accomplishments, and what makes you unique and special, allows you to internalize your positive and kind words.
Your practice of thinking and writing words of love to yourself become (the) positive messages that you adorn yourself with to instill confidence, to feel positive, and which allow you to live as your best self.
Join me in this debut episode as we uncover innovative and effective ways to practice self-love as a daily habit. Discover the three best practices that curate love from within. Namaste! 💜
