Nobody Is Born Confident: How Building Confidence in Midlife Changed How I Show Up in My Marriage and With My Son

Have you ever told the polished version of your story so many times that you started to wonder what you'd say if nobody was editing? In this episode, I hand the questions over to Amber, my producer for the past year, and let her ask me anything she wants with no list and no heads up. Amber has watched me interview doctors and authors all year, and she's the one who sees what happens the second we click cut. That's the version she went looking for here. We talk about everything from overcoming insecurity to the Argentina hunting trip that brought me back to my husband. Our conversation touches on: - What nobody tells you about how to have self confidence after 40 - How to stop caring what people think without pretending you don't care at all - How to reconnect with your husband when your season together feels more like logistics than love - Why the secrets to a long marriage have less to do with 50/50 than with two people each giving 100 - What building confidence really looked like for me, including confidence building activities for adults as small as one phone call I'd been avoiding - How getting out of your comfort zone led me to ballroom dancing for adults and to a python I still can't believe I grabbed - Where helicopter parenting and snowplow parenting get in a kid's way - Why forgiveness in relationships is still the thing I'm working on - How to trust your gut when you're the one making the call for someone else - What midlife reinvention actually looks like - What I wish we'd known about date night ideas for parents when our son was a baby If you've been searching for marriage advice that isn't rehearsed, how to have self confidence on the days it doesn't come easily, or a reason to start getting out of your comfort zone at an age when everyone tells you to settle in, this episode is your invitation to hear the unedited version.
