Episode 108: Self Doubt to Confidence: A Pageant Experience with Guest Sofia Abdeljawad

The Mind-Body Podcast, Your Rebellious Podcast

Join me on this very special episode with my 13-year old daughter, Sofia, who said ‘yes’ to being my guest. She's fresh off her completion of the National American Miss Pageant!
To face her fears of being on stage and speaking in front of people, Sofia joined as a pageant participant last year and, again, this year.
It is easy to see someone gracefully walking on stage and smile. What is not easy to see is the journey someone has taken to be on the stage.
We dive deeply into the experience, sharing heartfelt moments and discussing Sofia's incredible growth journey. Get ready for an emotional and inspiring conversation that spans topics of self-doubt, public speaking, confidence, and the power of a supportive community.
This episode is packed with motivation and wisdom for listeners of all ages. Whether you're facing personal challenges or seeking inspiration, Sofia’s story is a testament to the power of resilience and determination.
Tune in to our impromptu mother-daughter conversation as we talk fear, growth, comfort zone, vulnerability, community and see how her journey can inspire you to overcome your fears and shine your light.
