So before we dive in, I know I have your your bio and about you as part of this blog post, but for everyone listening, just tell us a little bit about who you are and what makes you awesome.
46 00:03:46.810 --> 00:03:56.860 Megan Reed (she/her): Well, I am Megan. I am a mom of one and 3 quarters at this point.
47 00:03:56.860 --> 00:03:57.380 Megan Reed (she/her): Good!
48 00:03:57.708 --> 00:04:02.970 Megan Reed (she/her): Do soon. Maybe maybe I'll have a baby when this podcast episode is live. That's nuts.
49 00:04:02.970 --> 00:04:03.420 Liz Fleming: Yeah.
50 00:04:03.420 --> 00:04:32.729 Megan Reed (she/her): So I'm a mom. I'm a business owner. I specialize in confidence and helping people kind of get out of their own way to achieve the life that they actually desire, and not the one they feel like they should desire, you know. And on top of that I'm a bestselling author. I am a Reiki master. All the things I really just love all things, growth and personal development, because there's so much joy in achieving everything you ever wanted.
51 00:04:33.300 --> 00:04:34.590 Liz Fleming: 100%.
52 00:04:34.670 --> 00:04:50.090 Liz Fleming: It's so magical I don't know to be on this side now as a coach right there with you like. There's something about it that you. You can't explain the the personal growth and helping people with that. It's really incredible.
53 00:04:50.090 --> 00:05:08.330 Liz Fleming: So we need more people like you. Thank you for picking this lane because we need it. Your content is so unique and so good. You guys, her book, main character energy is so funny and so good every time I turn a page I'm like, yep, that's relatable. Yep, that's relatable, and I think
54 00:05:08.340 --> 00:05:14.459 Liz Fleming: that's what we need more of in this world is less of the fluff and more of the real talk. Wouldn't you.
55 00:05:14.920 --> 00:05:18.949 Megan Reed (she/her): I so agree, and I love that you.
56 00:05:19.110 --> 00:05:20.070 Megan Reed (she/her): You know.
57 00:05:20.170 --> 00:05:36.190 Megan Reed (she/her): main character. Energy is a book all about showing up with confidence and authenticity, and that is what we need more of is those people shining their authentic light. And that's what I try to do on social media as well as give people permission to show up as themselves.
58 00:05:36.750 --> 00:05:57.670 Liz Fleming: Yes, and I love to that one of the ways you do that in your book right off the bat you're like. I love to swear, and I'm not going to apologize for it. This is who I am. So if you don't like that, then this isn't the book for you. This isn't the content for you, and I love that you hold that boundary for yourself, and I think
59 00:05:57.900 --> 00:06:07.929 Liz Fleming: when you lead by example in that way, it's it's so helpful for others who are also trying to kind of navigate their own self confidence, too. So.
60 00:06:07.930 --> 00:06:37.220 Megan Reed (she/her): Right. I actually struggled with that for a long time, like I felt like I needed to water myself down to make my book more digestible to more people. And then I realized it was like it was slowing down the whole process because I wasn't getting getting to show up in my energy like with my voice, and how how wild, how many of us like feel like we have to water ourselves down! And then, when we do that we don't make the impact. We actually want to make.
61 00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:47.400 Liz Fleming: Right? Yeah, it's it's so true. And it comes back to like, I know for me, like with self-confidence, the hurdle has always been
62 00:06:47.670 --> 00:07:01.010 Liz Fleming: like the people. Pleasing thing, and you just give a prime example of that. It's like, Am I writing this for me, or am I writing it for the people and what they're going to think of me? Or am I actually writing it to help people, regardless of
63 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:15.309 Liz Fleming: of what I think you know. So it gives you a lot to think about. I would love to ask you. It's gonna sound like a silly question, but I think everyone has their own their own definition, but I love to hear it from a pro like
64 00:07:15.690 --> 00:07:19.669 Liz Fleming: what is self-confidence to you as a confidence coach.
65 00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:22.579 Megan Reed (she/her): Oh, such a large question!
66 00:07:22.580 --> 00:07:24.480 Liz Fleming: I know it's big, it's big.
67 00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:30.359 Liz Fleming: but I have like I've been dwelling on this since I, you know, have booked you. I'm like.
68 00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:37.070 Liz Fleming: cause. I know what it is for me. And I'm just curious, like, if it's the same for you. And like, how? Yeah.
69 00:07:37.540 --> 00:07:54.069 Megan Reed (she/her): I would say, self-confidence absolutely looks different for every person, but if you were to boil it all down, self confidence is this unshakable trust in your own abilities
70 00:07:54.390 --> 00:07:57.199 Megan Reed (she/her): to do the things that you want to do.
71 00:07:57.450 --> 00:07:59.990 Liz Fleming: Yes, I love that.
72 00:08:00.150 --> 00:08:04.270 Liz Fleming: I agree with that, too. And to take it a step further.
73 00:08:05.060 --> 00:08:10.880 Liz Fleming: like what would be the difference between self-confidence and something like self-esteem?
74 00:08:11.420 --> 00:08:14.010 Megan Reed (she/her): I. Actually.
75 00:08:14.270 --> 00:08:23.820 Megan Reed (she/her): I journaled on this one day, and it was, it was good. Okay? So the difference between self-confidence and self-esteem. So self-esteem is the, I would say.
76 00:08:24.000 --> 00:08:52.979 Megan Reed (she/her): kind of more of an internal how you see and perceive yourself, and and that affects how you show up with or without self confidence. Right? So if you don't have good self-esteem, you're not going to trust yourself like if you don't have. If you haven't cultivated a loving relationship, I would say, self-esteem is like your relationship with yourself. Whether that's your body, image your soul, your spirit, whatever.
77 00:08:53.160 --> 00:09:00.160 Megan Reed (she/her): And then the confidence, the self-confidence piece cannot really come to fruition. If you're not.
78 00:09:00.610 --> 00:09:04.639 Megan Reed (she/her): if you don't have a relationship, a positive relationship with yourself, you know.
79 00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:14.700 Liz Fleming: Yeah, that's so insightful. I love that that definition. Yeah, I think it's similar for me, like self-confidence feels like it stemmed in a belief
80 00:09:15.010 --> 00:09:22.125 Liz Fleming: like for yourself and self-esteem is more of like the worth, like the value that you put in it.
81 00:09:22.500 --> 00:09:22.840 Megan Reed (she/her): Percent.
82 00:09:22.840 --> 00:09:26.573 Liz Fleming: I think people like get them confused and
83 00:09:27.400 --> 00:09:40.440 Liz Fleming: you know I do. I do SEO like keyword research for every episode and for yours. I wanted to come in with, like some good, hard, hitting questions like this, but when I was doing this research, it is so
84 00:09:40.970 --> 00:09:51.480 Liz Fleming: like unbelievable. What people are searching for when it comes to self-confidence and self-esteem. It's heartbreaking. The things are people looking that you know they're looking for. And
85 00:09:51.670 --> 00:10:01.690 Liz Fleming: it's just it feels like, you know, you said. You know, when I asked you what is self confidence? It's such a big question, because it's such a big topic. It's.
86 00:10:01.690 --> 00:10:02.170 Megan Reed (she/her): Hmm.
87 00:10:02.170 --> 00:10:07.550 Liz Fleming: It's all encompassing. I think people hear that term, and they're just like, you know, they want to cross.
88 00:10:07.550 --> 00:10:08.290 Megan Reed (she/her): Oh, my God.
89 00:10:09.250 --> 00:10:20.070 Megan Reed (she/her): yeah, yeah. And you know something that else is coming through for me like self-esteem. Is your brain saying I don't like myself, and self-confidence is
90 00:10:20.270 --> 00:10:22.550 Megan Reed (she/her): your brain saying I can't do this.
91 00:10:23.460 --> 00:10:27.129 Megan Reed (she/her): Or I like myself, and I can do this right.
92 00:10:27.130 --> 00:10:33.740 Liz Fleming: Yeah, yeah, 100. So why are things like self-confidence? Important?
93 00:10:36.700 --> 00:10:46.440 Megan Reed (she/her): things like self-confidence are important, because, like confidence is the driver to every action that you are taking in your life and business, if you lack confidence.
94 00:10:46.550 --> 00:11:03.469 Megan Reed (she/her): the odds of you going moving forward and leaving your comfort zone and doing the thing, are so much lower than if you were to just embody that confident version of you. Right? And so when I meet people at events and they're like, Oh, what do you do? And I'm like, I'm a confidence coach.
95 00:11:03.470 --> 00:11:19.050 Megan Reed (she/her): and they always they're like, Oh, like, how does that work? And I always ask, you know, like, what is the one thing you've always wanted to do that you would do if you were more confident. And that's what I help people do, because, like we all have these dreams on our hearts
96 00:11:19.050 --> 00:11:23.869 Megan Reed (she/her): that a lot of people never go after because they lack the confidence to do so.
97 00:11:24.270 --> 00:11:33.430 Liz Fleming: Yeah, yeah, that's amazing. I love to hear that. So when we're talking about self confidence in this capacity.
98 00:11:34.590 --> 00:11:36.010 Liz Fleming: what is like.
99 00:11:36.800 --> 00:11:55.879 Liz Fleming: like, what increases confidence. And I know that's a loaded question, too. But maybe if you could narrow it down to like the one core thing for someone coming into this. Maybe they're listening to this. It's it's something that's been weighing on their heart like, what is one thing that they could do to start increasing their self confidence.
100 00:11:56.670 --> 00:12:11.119 Megan Reed (she/her): I would say it all comes back to self awareness, like, if you know who you are, if you know what lights you up, if you know what you value, the more you know about yourself, the easier it is to embody that confidence.
101 00:12:12.430 --> 00:12:29.869 Liz Fleming: Yeah, because it's easy to like Cherry. Pick a, you know, a technique like I could say, do a guided self meditation. But that's not going to do shit if you don't know who you are and why you need that. And yeah, it goes a lot deeper. And in coaching, you know, we work on
102 00:12:29.970 --> 00:12:36.919 Liz Fleming: a lot with, like the root beliefs within someone. And I know we were just talking about with self-confidence like
103 00:12:37.190 --> 00:12:42.829 Liz Fleming: like, that's something that you have to change at a deep, deep level within yourself.
104 00:12:43.312 --> 00:12:50.160 Liz Fleming: Is there anything you want to say about kind of the like? The what the root belief would be for
105 00:12:50.400 --> 00:12:56.020 Liz Fleming: for someone wanting to develop that unstoppable self-confidence like maybe give an example.
106 00:12:57.140 --> 00:13:08.359 Megan Reed (she/her): Well, I would say 1st you would have to. And this is like the power of working with a really good coach. Right? First, st you would have to kind of uncover. Why, you're not confident.
107 00:13:08.360 --> 00:13:34.830 Megan Reed (she/her): If you're really wanting to cultivate more confidence. What like? Why do you want more confidence? What is that thing that you want to be doing? Who is that person that you want to be, and really unpacking where that lack of confidence is coming from for you, because for me, I you know my deepest inner critic, tells me that I'm not special, and that creates like this like spiral. This lack of confidence, when, if I get into a comparison trap.
108 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:49.130 Megan Reed (she/her): I will not be feeling as confident if I get into like a new situation where I've never done something before. I know that I will not probably feel as confident. And so it comes back to that self awareness, and like unpacking
109 00:13:49.280 --> 00:14:03.030 Megan Reed (she/her): what those stories and kind of things that we're telling ourselves what those are, and how can we one bring awareness to them? And then 2 leverage, the knowledge of those.
110 00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:04.150 Liz Fleming: Yes.
111 00:14:04.280 --> 00:14:12.010 Liz Fleming: I love that you said self-awareness, because I swear that is like the thing I advocate for most. It comes up in every podcast
112 00:14:12.350 --> 00:14:17.419 Liz Fleming: people are probably so sick of hearing it. I'm just like, you know, self-awareness. Raise your self-awareness. But
113 00:14:18.220 --> 00:14:37.139 Liz Fleming: for me in those moments like to give an example, it's like 100% self-awareness of, I want to launch this thing, for example, right? I want to launch this thing. But like, there's this this thing inside me that's so afraid. So the coach in me is like, Okay, why?
114 00:14:37.250 --> 00:14:53.290 Liz Fleming: And like, I try and unpack the fear. And then it turns out the fear is like a mask or an umbrella for something so much bigger like you just said the the root belief like, I'm not special right for me. It's similar. It's like, who's gonna give a shit, you know.
115 00:14:53.290 --> 00:14:54.600 Megan Reed (she/her): Yeah. Who cares?
116 00:14:54.600 --> 00:15:04.020 Liz Fleming: So yeah, it's that work is so important. And I also love that you said, this is the power of working with a coach, because
117 00:15:04.570 --> 00:15:10.390 Liz Fleming: who better to prompt you and ask those questions? All the right questions, and then also have
118 00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:14.740 Liz Fleming: the techniques and resources to guide you through them?
119 00:15:15.350 --> 00:15:15.795 Liz Fleming: So
120 00:15:16.400 --> 00:15:27.570 Liz Fleming: when it comes to to self confidence, I mean, I primarily work with a lot of women. It's like my sauce. I don't know if you do, you're kind of all over the board. Yes, you're primarily with.
121 00:15:27.570 --> 00:15:32.370 Megan Reed (she/her): Would say, it's mostly primarily women like heavy on the like. 90% women.
122 00:15:32.370 --> 00:15:34.306 Liz Fleming: Yeah, that's fantastic.
123 00:15:35.657 --> 00:15:37.420 Liz Fleming: So what about?
124 00:15:38.260 --> 00:15:45.740 Liz Fleming: I'm kind of curious, you know, I work with as you do, like adult women. But are these things the same? For, like
125 00:15:46.170 --> 00:15:50.009 Liz Fleming: teenagers, kids in their twenties is this work that
126 00:15:50.190 --> 00:15:55.260 Liz Fleming: kind of goes across the age spectrum, you know, in life.
127 00:15:55.260 --> 00:16:13.870 Megan Reed (she/her): Yeah, it's such a good question. And I actually just a couple of weeks ago gave a keynote to a group of middle school and high school girls about confidence and embracing your main character, energy, and I you know I had to really censor my language. It was so hard.
128 00:16:13.870 --> 00:16:14.840 Liz Fleming: Oh, it's so hard!
129 00:16:14.840 --> 00:16:42.310 Megan Reed (she/her): But what I had learned afterwards. Like they were, they loved like sharing their takeaways. They were very like vocal about what they had learned, and it was so interesting because their moms were in the crowd, too. Their grandmas were there too, like it was just this big women's summit, and they were all sharing the same takeaways. They were getting the same like, it's okay to be me like not everyone has to like me. Like all of these. It was
130 00:16:42.460 --> 00:17:04.289 Megan Reed (she/her): it was I I had. I did not know before that how needed this same stuff that we're going through as adults is for, like Middle School high school age, and I'm just so curious if we as adults would have had that when we were younger, how we would be now, you know.
131 00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:11.699 Liz Fleming: Such a great point, and what an amazing opportunity! If I totally. I totally hear you when you say you had to reel it in, though, because.
132 00:17:12.790 --> 00:17:26.930 Liz Fleming: being a teenage girl was so hard, so hard, and to have that opportunity that chance to enlighten them, I mean, at such a malleable age. Yeah, I think if we had that we would be.
133 00:17:27.119 --> 00:17:30.070 Liz Fleming: you know, a lot tougher, a lot stronger, for sure.
134 00:17:30.070 --> 00:17:48.689 Megan Reed (she/her): Right like nobody ever told me that I was enough, and I really needed to hear that when I was in middle school, that, like I was perfect just as I was. You know I didn't have to do or be anything else, or anyone else to be worthy of love, like there's so many things that
135 00:17:49.030 --> 00:17:55.939 Megan Reed (she/her): a lot of us, especially probably your listeners, too, didn't hear growing up that we really could have. We really could have heard, you know.
136 00:17:57.010 --> 00:17:58.430 Liz Fleming: Yeah. And it's
137 00:17:58.690 --> 00:18:27.930 Liz Fleming: it's incredible like to reflect on that time. I really struggled as a teenage girl with my confidence, and it has impacted my entire life every time I do like limiting belief work and all that stuff to heal through it like it always comes back. I can see, like the inside of my high school and middle school, you know. I just like know what I felt, and I can't imagine what it would have been like to have a resource like you. Just come and talk
138 00:18:27.990 --> 00:18:45.420 Liz Fleming: for a little while about that, because no one does tell us that we're enough. You know our parents are just. It's not that they don't love us, they just they're doing their shit, you know. Now, we're parents doing our shit, and we're like we have to figure this out, but I don't know if you feel this way, or if this happened for you.
139 00:18:45.650 --> 00:19:04.499 Liz Fleming: excuse me, but when I was writing my book. I kept coming back to like these teenage scenarios and using certain stories to create a teaching moment. And a lot of it is around developing like that self-worth, that selfesteem, that self confidence
140 00:19:05.320 --> 00:19:15.269 Liz Fleming: like. I'm just curious. If you had that experience for me like writing, my book was so healing in that way. I don't know if any of that came up for you when you were writing yours.
141 00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:28.170 Megan Reed (she/her): Oh, it was so healing, so healing specifically like I struggled with my mental health through especially high school. I spent some time in a facility about 2 weeks there, and
142 00:19:28.670 --> 00:19:49.559 Megan Reed (she/her): I got to write about that in my book in a way that allowed me to process a lot of that right, and you know, there I I was. I was one of those achievers in middle school and high school, and like I was involved in everything. I was a yearbook editor. Varsity sports like all the things Four-h and
143 00:19:50.370 --> 00:20:17.390 Megan Reed (she/her): I was seeking external validation all the like that was like I needed to feel loved and worthy from other people. I did not know how to give that to myself, and in my book I got to use all of that as teaching moments like, I believe that we really, truly do learn through storytelling. And so through those stories of my like childhood struggles, I was able to really have a lot of powerful
144 00:20:17.770 --> 00:20:19.780 Megan Reed (she/her): lessons and takeaways.
145 00:20:20.470 --> 00:20:39.859 Liz Fleming: I love hearing that. Thank you for sharing that. I know it's it's hard to revisit that stuff, and I feel the same way like. I didn't even know I remembered certain things until I started writing, and then I would have these dreams, and I was like, Oh, oh, my God! I forgot about that, and I'd continue writing. And it it does become so healing. So
146 00:20:39.900 --> 00:20:54.660 Liz Fleming: I think the moral of the story and me asking these questions is just seeing how, from this conversation, my friends, how relatable these struggles are with self-confidence, and how it can stem from a really young age.
147 00:20:55.010 --> 00:21:00.879 Liz Fleming: But the beauty of now, and where we are as a society is that we have
148 00:21:01.320 --> 00:21:16.980 Liz Fleming: so many more tools and resources like Megan to guide us through this, so we don't have to suffer. We're not meant to suffer, you know, like life should be fun. We should go after our vision board dreams and like do whatever we want without that
149 00:21:17.510 --> 00:21:21.329 Liz Fleming: little jerk in our head that's like, can you?
150 00:21:21.520 --> 00:21:23.269 Liz Fleming: Are you sure
151 00:21:23.530 --> 00:21:31.989 Liz Fleming: you know that comes up a lot? So is there anything else that's coming up for you right now in the self confidence
152 00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:38.530 Liz Fleming: realm before we. We only have a few minutes left here, but I can't believe how fast the time goes. Seriously.
153 00:21:39.150 --> 00:21:42.330 Megan Reed (she/her): I feel like with self confidence.
154 00:21:43.260 --> 00:22:00.609 Megan Reed (she/her): There is this myth that like. If this, if I do this, then I'll be confident like. If this, then this right like. I can't be confident until this, like I can't get. I can't be confident in the workplace until I you know, land. This new promotion like. Whatever that thing is.
155 00:22:00.610 --> 00:22:20.090 Megan Reed (she/her): we put prerequisites on confidence. We do that to ourselves. And so right now, if you're listening, I want to challenge you to notice where in your life you might be saying, I'll be confident when right. I'll be confident. When I get that certification. I'll be confident, whatever that is.
156 00:22:20.250 --> 00:22:29.210 Megan Reed (she/her): you don't need to have or do or be anything different, to have confidence right now.
157 00:22:30.190 --> 00:22:34.229 Liz Fleming: That is so special. Oh, you bring a tear to my eye, girl.
158 00:22:34.600 --> 00:22:42.660 Liz Fleming: That's fantastic advice, and a beautiful way to wrap all this up. I mean I it's so true like
159 00:22:42.660 --> 00:23:09.270 Liz Fleming: for me. My brain just jumped to like the shiny object syndrome type of thing, you know, especially in work and business. It's like, Oh, getting the certification will make me confident enough to like, go do this. This talk or this interview or this, you know, 5 figure program will give me the tools that I need to do my thing. You know my new program. So it's all can come from within.
160 00:23:09.270 --> 00:23:28.890 Liz Fleming: So I love that challenge. I'm going to take you up on that personally for myself. That's that's amazing. Yeah, it does. It happens a lot. Yeah, I'll be confident when I get the promotion I'll be confident. When I start getting paid more. I'll be confident when my boss notices me, or when I'm a better parent. Oh, my God!
161 00:23:29.090 --> 00:23:31.319 Megan Reed (she/her): Yes, I'll be confident when.
162 00:23:31.320 --> 00:23:31.680 Liz Fleming: Yeah.
163 00:23:31.680 --> 00:23:45.520 Megan Reed (she/her): And I hit bestseller right. That was, you know, like I'll talk about my book more and be confident about it when it's bestseller, because that means it's good, right, like we attach so many prerequisites to what confidence looks like. But you're a fucking author.
164 00:23:45.750 --> 00:23:46.470 Liz Fleming: Yeah.
165 00:23:46.470 --> 00:23:47.670 Megan Reed (she/her): You know what I mean like.
166 00:23:47.670 --> 00:23:49.459 Liz Fleming: You wrote a fucking book.
167 00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:51.176 Megan Reed (she/her): To be confident right now.
168 00:23:51.520 --> 00:24:01.439 Liz Fleming: Yes, like, think of all of the things that you've already accomplished. That's something that I love to do is reflection. And just looking at your progress. We don't honor that enough. And every time that I reflect on my progress specifically like when I'm journaling that helps my self-confidence. Just shoot through the roof.
171 00:24:12.230 --> 00:24:17.910 Megan Reed (she/her): Yes, because where you are right now is like, there's a past version of you who dreamed of this.
172 00:24:18.760 --> 00:24:33.469 Liz Fleming: Yeah. Oh, you're so right. It's so true. I know there was one time, I think, right after I graduated QCA. Where I went to write like some sort of post, or I don't know I was writing something and I went to like my folders where I have that stuff saved, and I opened it, and I found, like this old hidden folder of stuff I had written, and I was like.
175 00:24:43.930 --> 00:24:52.890 Liz Fleming: what the hell is this treasure trove of like, you know, you don't realize. I mean, we're in our thirties, and it just feels like this constant flip-flop between. We've been alive for millennia, and life is just getting started, you know, especially in early motherhood. We're just like, Huh, when is our time coming again?
