Hello, my busy of pretty girls. Welcome back to the podcast. I am your host, Jaden Haley. Or welcome to the podcast. If you're new here, thank you so much for stopping in and let's get right into the episode. I am very excited to talk about this topic we are going to talk about today in the episode, but let's get into the bullet points of the week. For the weekly review, well, let's start off with today. Today, I have been a wreck. I have been crying. Okay. mostly it's all coming from stress, like stress from work, but you know what? We are making it work. I have been off my routine and been waking up at 9 o'clock every day, which is totally okay, but I have been missing a lot of the things I need to get done in the morning.

So I would love to get back on my routine very soon. We are making it work and I have my matcha oatmeal latte right next to me and a full thing of water as well. So we are staying hydrated and happy and we're. We are going to do this. But with the weekly review. This week, I went shopping with Ryan. We went to 2nd Street in Costa Mesa, and it was so cute.

I love shopping there with him. I bought the cutest strapless dress, and then I also found the cutest boots that had faux fur all over the sides, and I am obsessed with them. I found some pretty good, inexpensive pieces. Ryan also surprised me and took me to the cutest little area that had the prettiest greener. and oh my gosh we could see the beach and it was so beautiful it was such a nice day and then that night we went to ladybird cafe we adore ladybird cafe it's the cutest little cafe in los angeles so if you are there in the area or live there go to ladybird especially for brunch their food is amazing but we went to ladybird cafe for dinner then that night we went to faye webster at the fonda and it was

just such a lovely night. The next day we saw Tyler the creator in San Diego and we went to his show there and it was so fun. The show was absolutely amazing. He has a very similar mindset to being able to create your own reality and I think that's super cool. So it was so cool getting to see him live. But other than that, the week was great and I am now a little stressed because I have been thinking of all the work I have to get done. I've been having my planner full every single day, so I'm waiting for it to be done and I can breathe. Current obsessions of this week. Macha. That was first on the list as I'm drinking it. But I am obsessed with Macha Lates. That's a given. We already know that. I never thought I would give up my secret where my favorite Macha is from, but I'm going to tell you guys.

The macha lattes from the Orange Circle at Watson's is literally the best matcha you will ever try. I get a macha latte with oat milk and honey in it and seriously, it is heaven. I love it. I love Watson's matcha. So if you're in Orange County, go to the Orange Circle, go to Watson's and get matcha. But I am obsessed with matcha right now. I actually got a new matra powder. I'm really liking it, but I can't tell if I love it or not. I feel like it's a little chalky, so I am still a little iffy about it, but so far, so good.

Another current obsession is playing We're Really Not Strangers, the relationship edition with Ryan before bed. When we are together, we will play three cards a night before bed, and I feel like it just ends the day off on such a good note and just reminding each other how much we love each other. I really recommend getting the We're Really Not Strangers relationship hack or a dating edition, either one and playing three cards a night. We started doing that and we look so forward to it and it makes me so happy. I have been loving that. Another obsession is salad wraps.

Oh my gosh. Again, literally I love wraps. It's like a spinach tortilla and then you can get like Caesar salad in it or garden salad, whatever it is. Salad wraps are my favorite right now. Another thing is Pinterest. I have been loving Pinterest. That's a given. I am a Pinterest girl.

I have been finding so many new inspo boards and I am obsessed with it and it's giving me so excited for my future. Another thing is I'm obsessed with is being off my phone. I have been really trying to just enjoy being in the present moment and my surroundings for the past week. And I feel like I've really been able to create better memories that way. So whenever I'm not working, I am making sure I don't mindlessly scroll for a long time and just prioritize a little bit to do my own stuff on my phone if I want to go on Pinterest for a little bit. But I have been loving, just enjoying life around me. goal of the week. My goal of the week is to make a YouTube video. I have not made a YouTube video since December, so I am more than ready to make another. I know I talk about my morning routine

and all my routines over Busy at Pretty, but I would love to make one that is you can visually see my morning, so I'm wanting to do that, as well as posts more over Instagram. I know this is a lot of social media goals, but this is my work. So I really am willing to set a goal to post more over Instagram, whether that's on my stories, my feed. My feed is a big one. I post like once every week or once every a week and a half and I want to start posting like two times a week. So I am more active on Instagram as well as posting on Reels. But that is definitely a goal. Another one of my goals is to look into yoga. I want to start yoga again. I haven't for the past few years, but I would love to get into it again as well as Pilates or Boxing. Boxing's a big one. I really want to start boxing.

I just can't find one that has people there that are around my age and our girls. Usually it's like I'll find a boxing place and it's all men and they're like in their 40s. I would like to find one around me that has some girls my age and I can become friends with and look forward to boxing. A quote from my five-minute journal, Take a 10 or more minute walk in a peaceful setting today. Be fully present and listen to the world around you. I adore that one because I have been trying to get more walks in and really just stay off my phone,

enjoy the present, peaceful world that's around me. And honestly, walking is so good for you. Just taking five or ten minutes at your day is just so nice. So take a little walk or go with your friend, your boyfriend, whatever it is, take a little walk. A self-love question to ask yourself, what am I proudest of myself for saying? No to recently. I love this one. This is such a good question to ask yourself because we should be proud of ourselves for saying no sometimes. It's okay to say no. Don't always say yes to everything. So pause this episode and journal this question. Touching back on why I am stressed right now, but you know what? I know it'll all be worth it in the end, but I've had some last minute jobs come up and I am leaving tomorrow to Ryan's house to go to

Joshua Tree with him, so I am shooting something there for my friend, but I am needing to get everything done today so I can go. So I'm a little stress, but you know what? It's going to be all good, and I'm very excited to have the week with him. Without further ado, let's get into today's episode. Today's episode is on, what is sexier than confidence? Honestly, nothing. So let's get in and talk about the big factor of self-love, which is confidence. Confidence is so hot and so sexy and this has been such a highly requested topic, so I thought it would be perfect time to touch on this. You know what? February is your month of growing and having a self-love glow up. So talking about confidence. Confidence is something that is most often

not naturally ingrained in people. Most often people have to gain confidence and learn how to have confidence. So do not beat yourself up over this. It's okay if you're not confident because you know what? We're going to work on it. You guys are going to be the most confident, busy at pretty girls in the world. Beating yourself up over not being confident and questioning why you're not confident only backtracks your progress. So let's have an open, happy mindset of how we can gain confidence. From my experience, middle school and early high school was not my years of confidence. I lacked so much confidence in self-love. I was very intimidated by people and just very quiet and I was not very confident. But you know what? I learned confidence. I am almost 19 next month.

So I have grown so much. I've taken many steps to gain confidence. And I truly feel so confident today. My confidence journey all started going in an upward direction once I started this one step. That one step is fake it. Fake your confidence. Act as if you're confident. It doesn't matter if you are the most insecure person in the world and not confident. Literally act it. Make people think you are the most confident person in the world. Even if you don't feel it, act it. When I started acting confident, others treated me as if I was confident. And then naturally, you will start to gain internal confidence. I have always hated the whole popular kids in high school, middle school, and all that stuff. It's not my thing. But I thought I should use this example anyways. Why do you think

everyone in high school and middle school likes the traditional popular kid? Well, it's because the popular kids act like they love themselves. Well, they may actually love themselves, but when you show that you love yourselves, it will attract others to love you. If you show others that you don't like yourself, why would someone like you? You have to love yourself and act as if you're confident, even if you aren't. portray that you're confident in yourself and that will attract more people to think you are confident. And this episode is not about people liking you. This is just an example about how popular kids love themselves so people are naturally attracted to them. But this episode is on how to internally have confidence in yourself.

In my experience, once I started to act confident, it was a smooth transition to me actually internally feeling so confident. You're doing a double positive service to yourself by allowing others to think you're confident and for you to naturally start gaining confidence yourself when acting confident. Another step to take into gaining confidence is romanticizing your life.

I know this is so talked about how, oh, that's so stupid people romanticize your life. No, romanticize your life. I do it all the time. Are you kidding me? I'm in public and I will be dancing in a store. Like, I am extra and I am not ashamed. I romanticized my life all the time. And romanticizing your life causes you to love your life and love yourself. And that is going to make you so happy to look at yourself in the mirror and feel confident to go out because when you love yourself, that's all that matters. You have to be confident in yourself. And by being confident in yourself, you need to take these steps, which is, act as if you're confident and you

will gain confidence. Next, romanticize your life. You romanticize celebrity's lives or influencers' lives or the popular kid's lives. So why not romanticize your own? When you romanticize your own life, you will think of yourself above. You're not going to think of yourself below. Next is you need to believe that you're the shit. This is so funny and off topic, but I thought this was hilarious because I received some DMs and I received some like questions over like my question poll area on my story. But people ask me all the time if I'm like anti-curs word. I think that was so funny because I'm definitely not anti-curs. I just never made it a habit to start cursing because in the future, when I'm very professional and have my professional job, I don't want to have to

break that habit when I'm older. So I thought, why just not create that habit to begin with? I am not anti-curse. I just really did not want to start using curse words as filler words. I feel so much professional and smarter when I use bigger words rather than just curse words as fillers. Anyways, I thought that was so funny that I received those questions, so I wanted to address that. But no, I am not anti-cursed word. I have just not really cared to curse. I went off on the tangent right there, but we are back talking about confidence now. Okay, as I was saying, act like you're the shit because you are.

And whoever you think is above you, shift your mindset to being on their pedestal. but you're all people at the end of the day. Your idol is a person. Your enemy is a person. Your friend is a person. Your parents are a person. Like, everyone is just people. So stop putting people on a pedestal and put yourself on that pedestal.

Stop putting people on a pedestal and acting as if they are so much better than you. Put yourself on a pedestal in a humble way, of course. Of course, don't get ahead of yourself and dim other. those candles to make yours brighter, but what I'm saying is, stop putting people on a pedestal and put yourself on a pedestal. Next, realize stuff is not that deep. We are all trying to figure out life. We are all busy. We are all stressed. We are all confused. We are all just trying our best. There is no need to put your crush on a pedestal. There is no reason to think so deeply about stuff. Everyone is going through stuff. Everyone is trying to

figure out life, do not worry and just realize stuff is not that deep. Okay, so if you were going to ask your crush to go out with you, they reject you. Okay, next person, it's not the end of the world, like, move on. They lost their chance with you. So it's honestly not that deep. Just move on and be confident in your actions. Don't be insecure. Don't regret stuff. I used to do stuff. I'm like, oh, I regret saying that. Like, don't regret saying that. Like, don't regret. credit. Oh my gosh, don't get hung up over regretting of stuff you did or said. Move on. It's okay. Be confident and proud of what you did. Even if you messed up with something, own it. It doesn't matter. And move on. Another thing is, which I have learned to do is stand up street and own it.

I know it's so hard and intimidating to stand up straight and actually come across confident. but when you stand up straight, you may feel very, like, insecure, like, oh my gosh, everyone's looking at me. No one's looking at you. Nobody cares. Literally, nobody is thinking about you like that. But standing up straight portrays confidence and as if you know what you're doing. So, standing up straight is something I really recommend. You can spot confidence and you can spot someone who is not confident.

Next, when you're in an environment that has people, that you're in. not familiar with and that are new to you, introduce yourself. Do not stand in the back and twill your thumbs, like, introduce yourself, take time, and introducing yourself shows confidence. Next, admire yourself. I know I talked about loving yourself in the beginning of the episode, but admiring yourself is so, so important. As I said, romanticizing your life, but look in the mirror, admire yourself, and just say the things. that you love about you, something else you need to do is be proud of what you do or what you offer. If you have a talent in marketing, a sport, be proud of it, show what you can offer to others.

You need to portray your confidence and romanticize your abilities and talents and skills. Another thing is, don't worry about how others view you. I know it's very hard not to worry about how others are viewing you and it's just very natural to be conscious of what people are thinking about you and conscious of what is happening around you, but everyone is thinking about themselves. Truly, you're not the main character. Be the main character in your head, just like everyone else's main character in their head is them. But be the main character in your own head.

No one's worrying about you. It's you at the end of the day. Do what's going to make you happy. If you want to wear 10-inch heels and a cute little miniskirt, do it. If you want to start singing and you think you're not the best of a singer, but you want to try, but you have to sing in front of everyone. Do it anyways. It doesn't matter.

Like, we're people at the end of the day. We're all messing up. We're all trying to figure out life. Another thing is, if people judge you, it's you at the end of the day to pick who you would like to include in your life. I understand it's difficult at school or at a job because you have to see the same people every day. A year from now or a few years from now, you will never have to see those people again. and this is not the rest of your life. Prioritize the people that are serving you right.

If people at school and work aren't serving you right, they are just a tiny little minuscule fraction of what's in your life. So ignore that. No, they're not going to be there forever and let go. I put a sticker on my Instagram story of for you guys to ask questions on confidence-related questions and questions that you had that you would like advice on. So starting off. Someone said, how do you become the most confident version of yourself at school?

Stand up straight and wear what you want. Don't worry about what others think of you. If you are insecure about wearing certain things, but you love fashion, but you're insecure, wear it anyways. The early part of high school, I went to a private school and I had, like, no friends. Because I had the uniform, I was only able to choose what shoes I wanted to wear, so I wore Doc Martins. This is before Doc Martins were a trend.

So many people in my classes were like, what are those shoes? Those are weird, blah, blah, blah. Like, I don't know. I truly didn't care. But I was like, thanks. Like, okay, I like him. I really don't care. And then the same people literally the end of the week message me, I love your shoes. Like, where'd you get them from? But in front of their friend group, they were like, oh, those are weird shoes. Like, everyone likes confident people. I was confident about. I was confident about. wearing my Doc Martins at school and really did not care. And people just made fun of me or whatever in front of their friend groups. It seemed cool. But in the end of the day, they wanted to know where my shoes were from. So it really doesn't matter. Like, wear what you want. If someone trying to say something about you, they're jealous. I know every mom says that to their child, but I promise you confident people are going to get some sort of jealousy from others. Either way, it's going to be taken out on acting jealous or acting mean, but no matter what, it's jealousy. I want to say a little side note. The other day, I was at TJ Max and I found the cutest water bottle, and I'm obsessed

with it. It's the most perfect color Barbie pink. I'm looking at it as I speak and oh my gosh, it was like $12. So go to TJ Max right now and look at their water bottle section because I'm sure it will be there. I am just obsessed with it. Okay, next question. How do you feel confident without makeup? I am someone who adores natural beauty more than makeup look anyways, but when I was younger, I was such a makeup girl and definitely would not wear makeup without going out. But now I truly don't care. To me, makeup is just enhancing your natural features. Think of this. If makeup never existed in this world, it would just be your natural face. So if makeup didn't exist, it would only be your natural face. So learn to complement features you have about your face and admire

them. If you're really trying to learn how to go without makeup and feel confident, I recommend going a full week with no makeup. I mean, no makeup at all. I promise you, it will feel so good at the end of the week and your mindset will be completely changed. There was a point where I was doing makeup every single day and I would just like, you know, I'm kind of over it. So I didn't wear makeup at all and now I only wear makeup when I go out or occasionally when I'm still at home. So it really doesn't matter. Makeup is just a way to enhance your pretty features. Have your natural face.

Be proud of it. You're beautiful. Don't worry about what others think. Love yourself and that's all that matters. Next question is how to feel confident when talking to a boy I like after only messaging them. P.S. I love you. Love you too, sexy, and literally reverse the role of being nervous on their end. Make them feel nervous to talk to you. They're just a guy at the end of the day. Like, you're a hot, sexy gal. If you are struggling to actually talk to someone after only messaging them,

honestly, I would just talk about topics that you are very aware of and have a lot of knowledge in or talk about similar interests that you guys have or have talked about. Most often, when you talk about things you both like in similar interests, both of you guys will pitch in and it will bounce off to each other in the conversation. Next, someone asks, how do I be confident in a new unfamiliar space? I love this question. This is such a good one because I feel like almost everyone is not confident in a new, unfamiliar space, look around and gather an understanding of the environment you're currently in.

So if you are entering a new place, like a new job, and it's a brand new, unfamiliar space, just look around, take a second, and really realize where you are, where everything is, where people are, and just get that understanding. Make yourself feel as if you've already been there and you are familiar with that space. in your head feel as if you are comfortable just as if you were at your own house. Like you know where things are, even if you don't, just feel comfortable and act as if you've already been there. It will make yourself feel peace and calm and there's nothing to stress and worry about. If it includes people in the unfamiliar new space, put yourself out there.

It's easy to quote, someone is texting me and go on my phone, but actually you're just swiping back and forth on your home screen because I know. we have all been there, but it is so easy to do that, but put yourself out there and actually try to conversate and be social because being social will leave you feeling so much better by the end of the day. Someone else asks, when I'm on a first date, I feel like I may be looking ugly or the guy won't find me pretty. I'm saying this in an honest way, but insecurity is loud and confidence radiates. Insecurities can be shown once you're insecure. It's okay to be insecure, but insecurities are loud. Even if you have to act confident, then you

act confident even though you're not. Also, don't care what you look like. First of all, the guy should like you regardless of what you look like. One day, you may be waking up next to this man with a stanky breath and messy hair. They should like you regardless of your looks. And again, don't put someone on a pedestal, especially a man. He should be the one nervous if you think he is cute. Let him be nervous and you be confident. Doesn't matter what you look like. You're pretty, you're hot, you're sexy, and it is an honor for him to talk to you. Someone said, I want to put my hand up in class to answer a question, but I get in my head thinking my ideas isn't that good. And if I get picked on in class, I end up stuttering or not saying what I wanted to. I get nervous

and embarrassed and it totally knocks off my confidence. I love how someone said this because I know most people have experienced this in high school, I definitely did. I had the same feelings to even being so nervous about answering questions that I would even miss school because I was so nervous to be picked on for a question. In high school, I would have to do Socratic seminars and I successfully skipped every single one on every Monday because I was too scared to go. But then I learned it's not that big of a deal if you say something wrong. and honestly, how I handled this was I take a deep breath in and I rehearse what I want to answer. If you're really nervous and not confident in your answer but you have to answer, you can say personally in front of giving your answer.

So as an example, you can say personally, I think the correct answer is B. By saying personally in front of what you're going to answer can defend your answer in case if it's wrong. And at the end of the day, it's just an answer. Five years from now, you will literally not even going to be able to remember that moment. So answer what you think and take a deep breath in, rehearse what you want to say, and say it with confidence. Someone said, how do I make friends as an adult? That is, I think, a struggle for a lot of people because you're not as social at school or anything anymore. you're an adult, so you may just have a job, and most often not everyone at your job,

but has the same interest as you. I struggle with this as well because a big part of being a friend is hanging out and seeing them. I have a hard time putting work aside, and I always choose to work rather than set time aside and hang out with friends. And honestly, it's really bad because I always put work first, but I am so driven to finish my task and to, um, to, have my career and then that's when you start to lose friends and people think that you're not caring about them. When I really do care about my friends, I just am so busy and it's not that I don't have time for them. I don't have time for anything other than my work and I need to set more time aside myself. This does not include Ryan at all. He is my boyfriend and I always have time for

him. Him and I are literally one. This is talking about just friends. I always have time for my boyfriend. to meet and make friends as an adult, go to events and activities that you like that you know other people will be there that share the same interest. So if you like yoga, go to yoga class. You're probably going to find some people who like yoga as well. And another thing is go meet people over social media. I know this is so cliche, but I would say 100% of my friends I know from social media. I met with them in person and most people meet friends from social media at this point. So I would say go on social media, find people in the area that have the same interest as you, and try to meet up with them.

Of course, in a safe way, but reach out over social media, go to events, and go to activities that you know other people will be there and share the same interests. And make sure to put yourself out there and be outgoing when you're at those events. So it gives you the opportunity to meet new people. Someone else asked, how are you confident that everything will work out eventually and not to worry. I don't worry. Like, I can see my future. I am someone who has a very driven mindset. No matter what, I am going to achieve the goals I want to achieve, which I think is from my parents to always telling me that I can achieve anything I want, as well as the law of

attraction, I truly believe using it and manifesting your goals will happen. If everyone in the world told me my goals were not possible, I would literally last. I literally last, and still make my goals happen. I truly just don't find anything to be a roadblock. No matter what, I know I'll achieve everything. I think that comes naturally to me. For someone who is worried about their goals and not confident that everything will work out, start taking steps towards your end goal. So if you have an end goal of, let's say, getting this specific job. Okay, to get this job, you need to take a class at this college. Okay, sign up for the class. Like start taking little steps until you see the light at the end of the tunnel.

And eventually you'll start to see that your dreams really can be achieved. Just take little steps and know it's going to be okay. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I promise you you will achieve your goals if you put your mind to it. If you don't let anyone stop you or come in your way, you will achieve your goals. I have achieved stuff that I never thought I would before. and I'm going to achieve things that many people will think I could not, but I promise I will, and you can too. Someone else asked, how do I be more outgoing in groups of people? I find it hard and

uncomfortable. Personally, I think start off by talking to one person in the friend group or the group you're with, because talking to that one person, you become buddy-buddy with that person, and then all of a sudden, you both are talking to a third person now in the group. Then the group of three that you were in, you will start talking to a fourth person and then eventually you start being friends with the whole group. So I think budding up, start a conversation with one person in the group, then you will start to get more comfortable with the group of people that you're with. Someone said, I literally cannot eat in front of a guy because I am too shy and I have very low self-esteem. Keep in mind, I am in my late 20s. Personally, I never struggled with this issue because

I never had the mindset of putting a man above me or on a pedestal. My mom always taught me to never put a man above me and to be my own individual. I always kept that with me. So I never did that. And I actually talked to Ryan about this one time. And I told him that some people are really insecure about eating in front of a guy or their boyfriend or a crush or whatever. And when I told him it, he was like, what? He was genuinely confused because he was like it's normal to eat why would someone be nervous about that and I was like yeah well sometimes like girls will get nervous about that and he was like oh my gosh it's normal to eat no guy is like investigating on how you eat like you're just eating like you eat food just as they would I have

zero shame and I never had shame about that so if I want to eat some vegan buffalo wings then I will and I will proudly get sauce all over my face I truly do not care it doesn't matter if you're in your late 20s. Insecurities and unconfidence do not have an age limit. You can be any age and be insecure about something. Do not put a guy on a pedestal. Like, you're just eating food. If you go to dinner, he's eating food. Okay, so you eat too. It's something to laugh about if you had food in your teeth. Sometimes I will have literally like broccoli in the middle of my tooth and Ryan and I are just like cracking up and like about it. Or like he will have something in his teeth and we'll be laughing. Like, don't be embarrassed. It's funny. And just enjoy your food.

Okay. Next, someone said, how can I be more confident with my height? I am 5'9 and I feel very insecure since I stand out. First of all, I saw your profile photo was Audreana Lima. So, getting your Audreonna Lima mindset and embrace your height just as she would. I would love to treat heights with you. I am 5'5, but I like to say I'm 5'6, because I basically am 5'6. I would love to trade heights with you. Models are tall and embrace your height. Like being tall is hot. Oh my gosh. Like literally I wish I was. Be proud and embrace your height. I always love the look of like a girl being like 5'9 and way taller than her boyfriend. And I always thought that was like so cool. That was a few years ago. And now I am with my boyfriend who is definitely much taller than me.

actually, he's almost a full foot taller than me, but I absolutely love his height. And, okay, I'm getting off topic now. So let me get back on topic, but embrace your height. Someone asked, how do I talk confidently with strangers? I'm shy and I tend to just ignore everybody. Talking to strangers, you are a blink canvas to them. They know nothing about you or your confidence or your personality. This is your time to be confident because they know nothing about your background of if you're insecure

or not. Personally, when I approach strangers and I am meeting people, I stand up straight, and I am confident or I act confident, even if I'm not. Portray yourself as confident when approaching strangers and they will automatically think you're confident. There is so many more amazing questions that I would have love to answer, but this episode could go on forever, but I thought this would be a good place to stop and really just think about everything that we talked about in the episode today and working on the steps to gain confidence. Remember, confidence does not come overnight or naturally. You have to gain and work on confidence. It doesn't matter how many months, days, years, decades,

whatever it is, confidence will come. Putting your mind to it and allowing to take these steps will help you guide your direction of confidence into an incline and feeling self-love and confidence internally. This is your life and your life is written by you. Don't. Don't let anyone pull you down or tell you you can't do something. And lastly, do not put anyone on a pedestal. Put yourself on the pedestal and know your worth. I hope you all enjoyed this episode. I am beyond proud of you guys and am so thankful for listening to Busy at Pretty.
