They unpack the roots of negative self-talk, why we're so much harsher on ourselves than we'd ever be with a friend, and how to bridge the gap between knowing something logically and feeling it emotionally. Misty shares specific techniques for moving past self-doubt and making self-promotion feel authentic instead of performative.ResourcesMisty Schachtell Megia on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/misty-schachtell-3a634a2/Theatre of Public Speaking Spring 2026 Cohort - https://publicspeaking.mistymegia.com/bundles/tops-spring26?ref=857055Theatre of Public Speaking Spring 2026 Cohort VIP - https://publicspeaking.mistymegia.com/bundles/spring26-vip?ref=857055Theatre of Public Speaking on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/theatreofpublicspeaking/Theatre of Public Speaking on IG - https://www.instagram.com/theatreofpublicspeaking/Dr. Tara Swart, “The Source” - https://www.taraswart.com/the-source/Dr. Tara Swart videos - https://www.taraswart.com/videos/List of common cognitive distortions - https://mentalhealthcenterkids.com/products/common-cognitive-distortions-pdfNegative self-talk meme - https://kbravo.substack.com/p/cartoon-autopsy-negative-self-talkKate Johnson, “How Accountants Can Grow On Video” - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFWwclJHcjEChair Whimsy Upholstery Courses - https://chairwhimsy.com/courses/The Blissful Life Podcast - ToPS Series - https://youtu.be/uM5voT6Fhks?si=-R3zNWReZNmR8LT6Studies Cited:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10963437/https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.10985https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3652533/https://www.aeaweb.org/conference/2025/program/paper/4diYF3ZQhttps://labs.psych.ucsb.edu/sherman/david/sites/labs.psych.ucsb.edu.sherman.david/files/pubs/sherman.lokande.muller.cohen_.2021.sa_.pdfSPONSORS: [Forwardly, Relay, Client Hub] Join Our...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/3M1xzuOowdUvI_emvZChD6VRuDj2YySEanxJJFWFpXo/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81M2Ex/OTk0OTVmNzZlZDdl/ODU0NDhlZjQyOGJm/ZGU0NC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
