Welcome to Feel Better, Live More Bite-size, your weekly dose of positivity and optimism to get you ready for the weekend. Today's clip is from episode 254 of the podcast with the wonderful Vanessa Van Edwards, an expert in body language and nonverbal communication. Vanessa likes to introduce herself. As a recovering awkward person. She certainly does not come across as awkward anymore.

In fact, she's someone who exudes confidence and charisma. In this clip, she shares how to discover your unique flavor of confidence and how small changes in your body language could create big shifts in how you're perceived. One thing that I think many people struggle with these days is confidence. And I wonder if you could share some of the psychological tricks that we can all use to, I guess, feel more confident, but also come across as more confident to other people.

Yeah, and it's actually a cycle, right? Like the more confident we feel, the better we come across. And even like if we start on the outside, it also works in. I know this quite personally as I'm a recovering awkward person. So uh confidence always eluded me for many, many years.
