Speaker 1:

Hello, hello and welcome to day 12 of the 12 Days of Confidence. Today feels really freaking special, like really special, even because I proved to myself that I could do 12 episodes in a row and also that you're here and that you're listening to this and that you've been so supportive this whole journey and I'm just blown away by your support and your love and putting in the keywords and playing along with my goofy games and just being a part of this. It has reignited my love for podcasting and just like being creative and just kind of coming on the mic and riffing. It's almost like when we used to do the live episodes every week and, I don't know, maybe it's making me feel like we should be bringing those back. Let me know how you're feeling about the one episodes. Maybe we should bring back the lives, I don't know. I don't know, but it has been just a really fun way to connect with you and to connect with you at this really special and beautiful time. Every single day that I'm getting your messages, I'm just like celebrating our connection and your uniqueness and all of the beautiful things that have brought us together. It just feels like a really, really special gift and I just want to say thank you for being here, thank you for celebrating these 12 days with me, and I'm just so tempted to keep going, but I know if I do, I'll burn out this holiday season, and we don't want that. So we're not putting extra on our plates this year. We're doing what we need to do and we're focusing on what's important. Remember, that's what these whole 12 days are about.

Speaker 1:

So why don't you just check in with yourself right now? How are you feeling today? How are things going? We are a couple of weeks away from Christmas day and I just want to know where you're at. So take a moment and check in. Maybe you're just like I don't know where I'm at. It has been crazy, jess. Okay, I don't have time. Yes, you do. You're here listening to this podcast episode. You have a few minutes. If you have to pause this and spend some time with yourself, I celebrate that. Okay, but one hand on your heart over here, one hand on your belly, unless you're driving, in which case do not take your hands off the wheel, but check in with yourself. How are you doing today? How are you feeling? What's most important?

Speaker 1:

If there was only one thing that you had gotten done today. What is the most important thing today? Is it hug your kids? Is it get dinner on the table? Is it finish a project at work? There's no judgment on what that one thing is, but I want you to focus in on that and pinpoint that one thing you need to do today and the rest can wait. Okay, you do not have to do the holiday wrapping today. You do not have to decorate the tree. The cookies can wait. All of the things you can freaking buy the cookies. Okay, just take a minute. And what do you need? And let's make that thing number one today.

Speaker 1:

And personally, I do think that today's message is one of the most important messages of them all. Save the best for last, right. And of course, this is subjective, so for some of you, you might have already picked what your favorite day was or what your favorite message was or what reminder it was for you, but I think this one is really really special and really important for a lot of reasons. And if you've seen our Christmas sweaters for this season, that on the front of them they say you are Christmas magic, and of course that's the spin-off of our usual you know, you're the magic, you're the gift, and that's exactly it this holiday season, not just today, but every fricking day. You are magic, you are the gift. It's not about anything else, and we can put that on, you know, our family and our loved ones and all of the things that are really important this year, prioritizing the top thing. I get it. We are always looking on the outside for the magic, for the value, for the love. We are always looking for that external validation, but the truth is it is in you already. You are literally Christmas magic. You are made up of magic, and imagine if you could wrap yourself up this holiday season and realize that you are the gift. Somebody prayed for you, somebody has been waiting for you and you are a gift in their life.

Speaker 1:

Okay, so it's time that we start to realize that and stop looking on the outside for all of those pieces of our confidence to come together. Well, if I have the perfect outfit and if I have the perfect Christmas tree and if I have the perfect blah, blah, blah, blah, blah right, the right salary, the right, you know, good-looking Christmas photos, whatever it is that you've put on the list of important, I want you to take a moment and shift that around and make it go right back inside, because what's inside you is what is important. You are a gift and I'm so grateful to know you. I'm so grateful that you're here. You are, honestly, a huge gift in my life and I'm so thankful for you. But you need to see it in yourself too.

Speaker 1:

It's time to stop looking on the outside, stop numbing with all of the things around us and realize what's important is right inside us and I know this is a really, really hard one. Okay, our whole lives, for even from the beginning, there have been faults. Right, there's things in our life that have made us feel like total garbage, right, and when that happens, it just takes a chip out of our confidence every freaking time, and society takes chips out of our confidence every freaking day. But I want you to just put your armor up for a minute and sit in the fact that you are Christmas magic. What if, for one minute, you actually believed that you were the most important gift this holiday season? And I want you to believe it, even if it's just for a minute, for right now, I want you to believe it.

Speaker 1:

I am Christmas magic, I am a gift, and it feels really awkward when you say it. I want you to keep saying it until it feels a little less awkward, until you finally believe a little piece of it, more and more and more, and maybe for even one minute a day. You believe that you're Christmas magic. You believe that you're actually a gift, because when you start to believe that your confidence goes up, your value in yourself goes up, that self-worth is like taking a step. Every single day. You start to feel more joyful. You set better boundaries, you start to live the life that you actually want to live because you believe you're worthy of it. There's all these pieces that really come together when you start to see that you are magic too.

Speaker 1:

It's not just me sitting on this microphone, it's not just your partner, who might be a little more extroverted than you, it's not just that person that you admire so much on social media. You are Christmas magic. You're magic. You are so magical that I can't even contain my excitement in this episode, and until you believe it, I will never stop telling you and I feel really emotional in this because I know my purpose here on earth is to remind you of your worth, is to help you to feel what we see in you all the freaking time, and so I get a little fired up, but I know it's for a purpose and maybe you're just like good for you, jess, wish I knew my purpose too. Or wish I knew how to actually believe that I am magic.

Speaker 1:

I know you're magic, but me, me, I know maybe you're thinking that right now and if you are, I want to talk to you about confidently you. I have been hinting at it for a really long time and, of course, every day you're dropping in your keyword to win a chance to join the program for free, and you're like I want to join this program, but I don't even know what the heck it is. I love that you trust me with your confidence and you don't even question when I create something new and you're just like I want to be a part of it. So I want to give you a little more details on it today so that you can just be like oh yeah, that actually sounds really cool, jess. And so, confidently you is a 12 week program that I've created that essentially helps you to build a year of confidence of your own. It teaches you all of the foundational pieces that I had put together in my full year of confidence and if you've been here for a while, you know what I'm talking about, and if you don't, I'll link some episodes in the show notes for you to kind of check out a bit more, because we got to keep these short so I don't want to go too far into it.

Speaker 1:

But this program is basically teaching you the foundational pieces that I put together in my full year, the most transformational year of my life, where I took daily actions and not even crazy big actions, but giving myself enough time. For me it was a year, but something like this, to be 12 weeks, giving yourself enough time to actually develop some change in your life, was key in my consistency. I think for some people we think 21 days or 30 days or 75 days and I can change my life, and you can, but it takes massive action to do that. So in something like this we're taking smaller actions that aren't going to take you more than 15 minutes a day to really solidify your confidence and make this a consistent routine that you can take going forward in your life. So every week we'll have a certain focus. There'll be some videos. There's going to be a 12 week journal that comes with the program. That'll also be included as a planner to really help you to solidify and figure out what works best for you, because, again, we are unique and we are beautiful and this is going to look and feel differently for each and every one of us. And, of course, you'll be surrounded by incredible women and if you're already in the sisterhood, you know what I'm talking about.

Speaker 1:

This program will have like biweekly calls for you to really connect with other people who are going through similar things as you and, of course, you'll have access to the sisterhood as well. It's included in the program with the weekly video lessons, daily motivation. There's just so much stuff going on in here that's just going to really help you to have a more confident year, a more confident life, and imagine stepping into 2024 knowing that you're putting yourself first, like you're actually going to take the steps to feel better, without dreading those New Year's resolutions, those big goals that you've created for yourself that just don't feel aligned. And I'm not here to doubt New Year's resolutions. I am all about creating goals and setting foundation. We have vision board workshops and big things coming up in the sisterhood next year, but I wanna make sure that you're picking things that are meant for you that light you up, that make you feel great, and that's what this program is all about confidently you.

Speaker 1:

And so if you're entering your keywords, today is the very last day to enter your keyword for today and also for the whole 12 days, because we are doing our giveaway tomorrow, on the 13th, for your chance to win access to confidently you. And if you're like, okay, I'm ready, I'm a win, I've been manifesting this. I love that. I can't wait to pull your name tomorrow. And if you're like, okay, I don't care if I win, I am in this program, sign me up, just you wait. Thursday is gonna come access for everyone to be able to sign up for this program that we start January 15th and we'll have early word pricing and payment plans and options to add on one-on-one or human design readings and so many things, because you're gonna be able to pick the program that best suits you and that'll all come out on Thursday, which I can't wait for you to check out.

Speaker 1:

So today's special keyword is confidently you. Make it all. One word confidently you. And that is your last keyword for the 12 days of confidence. I wanna thank you so much for being here and for being a part of this and I will see you in our regular scheduled episodes on Thursdays going forward. I had some friends say that they're gonna be listening to these over again. So if you feel like you need a boost this holiday season, you need a reminder again, just go back to day one. You can listen to them all over again, send me a message every single day and know that you are worthy and you are magic and you deserve to feel like a gift this holiday season. I love you so much. See you soon.
