Confidence is an essential part of loving yourself. It’s a feeling of self-assurance arising from one’s appreciation of their own abilities and qualities. Yet, there’s often an aspect that gets in the way of true, sustainable confidence and that’s how we view and think of our physical form. When we are not happy with our bodies, our confidence tends to tank. I sat down with Esther Avant, sports nutritionist, personal trainer, health and weight loss coach, and owner of EA Coaching. Together, we move through building confidence, the important steps we all must take to properly care for our bodies and minds, and we even dive into how women over 40 can best change their mindset as they age.  
So, let’s dive right in!

I hope you loved this conversation as much as I did! Esther is a true authority in this field! Confidence doesn’t have to be as complicated as we make it. The biggest questions: am I best supporting myself mentally, emotionally, and physically? Is my inner dialogue working to my benefit? What do I need to do to change my habits? These are important questions to be asking yourself.
