Finding Your It Factor
02/27/23 • 38 min
057. What makes heads turn? What shifts the entire atmosphere of a room when someone walks in? Not bravado. Not insecurity, but confidence. It's what you've been admiring in the people you look up to, it's what you've been wishing for in your life and creativity.
Today on the show, we're going to talk about how to build confidence in your life. And by the end of today's show, you'll have a new sense of self-assurance that will serve you well in any situation.
I'm going to tell you all about what I've been learning from two books I'm reading... The Confidence Code by Katty Kay, and Claire Shipman and Find your Voice by Caroline Goyder. I started those books because I wanted to explore how creativity, confidence and purpose are related, and what it means for me to become the most confident content creator and podcaster that I can be in my lifetime.
I talk about what taking your rightful place in authority and confidence means to me, and how it affects our sense of belonging, and the ways we tend to apologize for ourselves instead of simply be in a state of confidence. I share how I was recently the director on a film set and how I needed to exude confidence to put the whole crew at ease and what the producer ended up telling me after the shoot.
You'll hear a definition of true confidence that will really take the lid off and expose both extremes, arrogance and insecurity, for the lies they are. We think about what it really is about that person who walks in the room with confidence that changes the environment...their body language, introductions, natural ability to give away confidence rather than suck attention. This leads us to explore the IT Factor and how to find YOURS!

Why I've Only Kissed One Man (Ever!!!)
055. Do you believe me? I've only kissed one man in my life.
It's not because I'm not curious or that I don't want to try new things...I'm Curiosity's Apprentice after all. Here in this episode I'll tell you why I've only kissed one person and how I actually feel about it.
Have I missed out? Do I get bored? I'll tell you the truth.
I'll also give my top kissing tips compared to internet advice and how to teach your person what you want in a kiss. Is kissing an art and can someone learn it how you like it?
After 28 years of marriage I've learned it's never too late to show your partner what kind of kisses work best for you, even if it feels funny to do it.
I'll also share two incredible stories of extreme kindness that will blow your mind. Both stories are about a person who never puts himself in the spotlight and who makes it possible for others to shine. Not only will your heart be warmed and prompted toward acts of kindness but you will feel inspired to look for those qualities in the people you align your life with.
Who you spend time with Is who you become.
I've learned some valuable life lessons from watching my husband gold pan. You'll be deeply inspired to hear the connection I've made between wading through icy rivers and digging in the dirt for gold in the literal sense, and how metaphorically our lives require that kind of perseverance and patience to get to the true value.
You'll come away from today entertained with new kissing techniques and inspired to look for gold in your life and relationships

Climbing to Purpose: Your Call to Confidence
058. Today we explore the powerful connection between purpose and confidence, and how they work together to help you achieve your goals and dreams.
Have you ever felt lost or uncertain about your path in life? Maybe you're struggling to find your place in the world or wondering what your true purpose is. It's a common feeling, but one that can be incredibly frustrating and even discouraging.
I know your calling is big. You know it, and I know it! The bigness of it can feel overwhelming at times.
But the good news is that finding your purpose can will help you build confidence in yourself and get closer to your calling. I'm going to help it become easier to take bold, decisive action towards your purpose.
You might be second-guessing your decisions or feel like you're just going through the motions without really making progress towards anything meaningful. Feeling ill-equipped to climb the mountain of purpose can erode your confidence and leave you insecure.
Today we think about that person who takes the stage and blows everyone away...we imagine that basketball player who takes the shot at the last second...what makes them so special? How can you possibly be that confident too?
Whether you're just starting out on your journey of self-discovery or you're looking for ways to boost your confidence in any realm...creativity, business, or even in social situations... this podcast is for you.
Join the Marijanel Show as we explore the powerful link between purpose and confidence, and learn how to harness these forces to create a life you love.
