LET'S PUT AN END TO SELF-HATE.
Shame takes on many forms.
We can feel shameful about our race, our gender, about aging, and so much more.
Shame makes us stay small.
What if instead of feeling shame about our insecurities, we celebrated every aspect of ourselves?
What if we learned to think independently instead of listening to what the media says about us?
To become the powerful confident person you are meant to be, you have to identify your shame and work hard to eliminate it.
It won’t just disappear on its own.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk about shame with an actor who has made body positivity her mission: Jameela Jamil.
Jameela Jamil is an actress, model, presenter, and body positivity activist. Following a breast cancer scare in 2016, Jamil moved to America to become a screenwriter. She is known for playing Tahani Al-Jamil on the hit TV show The Good Place.
Jameela is a big proponent of therapy as a way to move past our shame. She says mental health should be a top priority for all of us despite the stigma around it.
So get ready to learn how to stand up to the harmful messaging we receive from the media on Episode 797.

HOW DO YOU TALK TO YOURSELF?
The relationship you have with yourself is the most important.
If you’re constantly putting yourself down and judging yourself, eventually you’re going to self-destruct.
It’s common to self-sabotage when things are going well. It can happen to anyone- it doesn’t matter how successful you are.
We feel anxious. We feel like a fraud. We might even feel like we don’t deserve it.
But once you get to the root of those feelings, you can heal the judgments you have of yourself.
On today’s episode of The School of Greatness, I talk with one of the biggest television stars on the planet about anxiety: Maisie Williams.
Maisie Williams is an actress known for playing Arya Stark in Game of Thrones. She won the EWwy Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama, the Portal Award for Best Supporting Actress – Television and Best Young Actor, and the Saturn Award for Best Performance by a Younger Actor. In 2016, she was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
Maisie was at the height of her fame and success but still felt worthless. She realized that there wasn’t anything outside of herself that could make her happy.
She had to find her self-worth from the inside.
So get ready to learn how Maisie Williams navigated childhood fame and anxiety on Episode 784.

SOMETIME SAVING SOMEONE ELSE WILL SAVE YOU.
Even the most successful people can struggle with self-esteem.
You won’t be able to share your gifts with the world if you don’t feel worthy.
Often, finding a cause we believe in can cause us to figure out who we are and what we stand for.
Be empowered to make a choice you believe in.
That’s why I am so grateful to share a conversation I had with an actress who has found meaning by taking a stand on Animal Rights: Alicia Silverstone.
Alicia Silverstone is an actress, entrepreneur, New York Times bestselling author, and animal rights advocate. She’s started acting at an early age. She is known for starring as Cher in the comedy hit Clueless, and Batgirl in Batman and Robin, and she currently stars in the TV show American Woman. She’s written The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet and The Kind Mamma. In 2004, Alicia was named PETA's "Sexiest Female Vegetarian.”
Alicia shared how becoming famous at such a young age challenged her and caused her to find a cause about which she was passionate.

"IMAGINE WHAT PEOPLE DON'T DO BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID OF THEIR ASHAMED.”
A lot of people I know have a greatness inside of them, but there’s something holding them back. That thing is their self esteem.
Without self esteem, you can be the best in the world, but no one will ever know because you’ll be too afraid to put yourself out there.
This can be one of the hardest things to overcome, but honestly there’s an easy solution to start building your confidence - style.
Changing the way you look will give you an instant feeling of change, and to go more into it I wanted to bring you a good friend of mine who knows this subject more than anyone else: Stacy London.
You may know Stacy from the shows What Not to Wear, Access Hollywood, and even the Today Show.
Her knowledge of style has helped change people’s lives.

"Our first impressions are always made non-verbally”
One of my favorite guests I’ve had on this show is Jordan Harbinger, from The Art of Charm.
Previously, he gave great advice on how to leave the right first impression, and most importantly it’s not made through what we say.
So little of the impression we give off is through our words. Our body language, says so much more than anything that comes out of our mouths.
This 5 Minute Friday will give you tips to build your confidence and create the impression you want, on Episode 582.
In this episode you will learn:
When first impressions are really made (00:50)
How to test the way we make perceptions (1:54)
Ways to create a good first impression (3:12)
The doorway drill (4:27)
