History
2 personal experiences: 1) Career - It was by talking to my fellow grad students that I realized it wasn't just me thinking I suck--it is a systemic issue. Once I started running workshops for grad students and doing one-on-one coaching, I was hooked! It feels so good helping others realize their confidence issues aren't evidence that they suck. 2) Life - I used to hate my body. Even after I lost a huge amount of weight (thinking that would solve the issue), I would cry looking in the mirror. I got over most of my body image issues in a weekend and it didn't involve changing my body in the slightest. As of the time of writing this, I am now the same ~size as I was before and it's been a fascinating journey. My new understanding of the relationship between people's perception of themselves and reality drives me to help others realize how frickin' awesome and attractive they are. Yes, you. You are awesome and attractive.
