Why Didn’t They Tell Us?
Leslie Randolph is a self-confidence coach for teenage girls and the self-confidence coach you wish you had as a teen. In fact, she’s the self-confidence coach she wishes SHE had as a teen because she knows she could’ve avoided a whole lotta heartache, if only she knew the secrets she shares in “Why Didn’t They Tell Us?” Leslie didn’t know she could love her body at any size. No one told her that self-confidence was a choice she could choose to make (and one she was worthy of choosing). She didn’t know self-love and self-compassion were more motivating than emotionally beating herself up every time she missed the mark on achieving a goal. No one told her that guilt was an optional emotion, even for “nice Jewish girls” like her. From tips for cultivating self-confidence and combatting imposter syndrome to learning strategies for self-love and silencing negative self-talk, “Why Didn’t Tell Us?” is a gift of love and wisdom for the insecure teenage girl that still exists in all of us.

In a conversation on today’s episode of Why Didn't They Tell Us, Leslie’s long-time friend Jessie Fisher talks about setting the stage for self-confidence and the importance of staying curious and joyful even in the face of adversity.
Today, Jessie is known for being many things–an award winning actress, composer, educator and even a certified doula. However, this long list of accomplishments and accolades weren’t always who she was. After originally not getting accepted into a theater conservatory, Jessie placed her love of theater on the backburner. Even though she temporarily stepped away, Jessie’s passion and love for acting never wavered. Ultimately, she paved her own path to fulfill her lifelong dream of making it to Broadway. And it was her self-confidence that set the stage for Jessie to find success not only in acting, but in the many roles she has played in life.
The path to success is never straightforward. And along the way, you will find many bumps in the road. However, when you have confidence in yourself, nothing and nobody can stop you from becoming the person you’ve always dreamed of being.
Quotes:
• “The more we witness and have that awareness of what's outside of us, the more you get to be kinder to yourself and kinder to humanity as a whole…It can be hard, but that is the human condition.” (9:48-10:10 | Jessie)
• “I didn't get into any of the programs. I knew in my heart that I loved it, but that maybe getting there was going to be a different path. And, as long as I love what I love, I'm going to find ways to keep loving it.” (16:34-17:00 | Jessie)
• “If I am so stuck on what I've told myself I am and what my identifiers are from age 7 on, what am I missing out on seeing? What am I closing out?” (18:06-18:19 | Jessie)
• “If someone's mean to me…I immediately am like, ‘What did I do? What's wrong with me?’. Instead of being like, ‘I wonder what's going on with them?’.” (23:17-23:30 | Jessie)
• “The things I've done are objectively successful. I'm in my third Broadway show as a theater actor, that's pretty good. But I don't let someone else's idea of that success interfere with why it means something to me. And it's good to let it wash over you when you have great achievements and let other people being impressed by you make you feel good. And then I gently asked myself, "Why does it feel good just for me in the secret world of my brain?” (26:39-27:13 | Jessie)

"No, no, I will not speak to myself that way. No one speaks to me that way, not even me,” shares Sara Fisk. Sara, a Master Certified Instructor and Coach specializing in coaching women who struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and codependency.
In a conversation with Leslie on today’s episode of Why Didn't They Tell Us, they delve into the significance of silencing the inner bully. They explore effective techniques like the hard pass and loving engagement to combat negative self-talk, as well as shed light on the prevalence of people-pleasing behaviors and how to overcome them. Emphasizing the importance of treating oneself with kindness and avoiding self-criticism, especially during uncomfortable situations, they also dive into the primal programming that fosters people-pleasing tendencies and the consequences of disappointing others.
Quotes
• “I think one of the most essential lessons that we are not taught is that there is no growth without some discomfort. It just doesn't happen.” (18:06-18:18 | Sara)
• “I can handle disappointing another person because I have my own back. So that is why this work of eliminating the bully and being in your bestie voice with yourself is so essential. Because when we go out into the world to try new things, it's scary and uncomfortable. And if on top of the scary and uncomfortable, we're going to be really mean to ourselves, that's really hard to do.” (34:16-34:45 | Sara)
• “Our thoughts come into our brain in our own voice. And they're hard to detect as bullying. They start very young, and we aren't aware of it until we feel really bad. And sometimes the question to start with is, how am I talking to myself?” (22:06-22:44 | Sara)

“You can feel self confident today by making the choice to think highly of you and to love and believe in that human,” shares host Leslie Randolph, self-confidence coach for confident teens and confident women. Your thoughts determine your feelings, and self-confidence is a feeling. This means that you can choose to feel self-confident by changing the way you think about yourself. There are no pre-requisites for self-confidence and you do not have to wait for some external factor to happen in order to begin loving and trusting yourself.
It is easy to fall into the trap of believing that your thoughts are facts, especially when the brain is so good at seeking out evidence in your life to support those beliefs. However, the way you choose to think about yourself is exactly that, a choice. You can choose to think differently and step out from behind those limiting beliefs and labels that you have placed on yourself. When you choose to trust in yourself, love yourself, and believe in yourself, you will begin to feel more self-confidence.
You can start feeling self-confident right away by deciding to change the way you think about yourself. Don’t let limiting beliefs about yourself hold you back from going after your goals and the life you want. You are worthy of self-confidence just by being yourself.
Quotes
• “Your thinking is not facts, it's not truth. Your thoughts are just sentences in your brain that you have chosen to believe.” (8:01-8:12 | Leslie)
• “We give ourselves these limiting labels based on the thoughts that we think about ourselves.” (8:46-8:51 | Leslie)
• “Why didn't they tell me that self confidence was simply a choice I could make when I loved and believed in me?” (10:28-10:37 | Leslie)
• “Self confidence is a feeling. And like all feelings, it comes from your thinking.” (13:17-13:23 | Leslie)
• “You can feel self confident today by making the choice to think highly of you and to love and believe in that human.” (14:36-14:46 | Leslie)
• “Go after your goals and live the life of your dreams, not because it will give you that evidence you're looking for that you're worthy of self confidence. You are you, that is the only prerequisite necessary.” (15:28-15:43 | Leslie)

“It's really important in business and in life that you just stay true to your own values and you don't compromise your integrity for short term gain,” shares Lindsay Pinchuk, mompreneur, social media maven, marketing expert, community builder, and host of the Dear FoundHer podcast. Lindsay never set out to become an entrepreneur, but found that it happened naturally as she worked on building connections with other moms and other women small business owners. By showing up with authenticity and being willing to take each step as it came, Lindsay was able to grow her network organically and open more doors for her business than she had ever imagined.
It can be a scary thing to put your authentic self out there, but it is only by being yourself that you can attract the right people to your business. When you are true to yourself, you probably won’t appeal to everyone, but the people you do appeal to will be aligned with your values. To be a successful entrepreneur, you have to be willing to adapt to feedback, grow from failure, and accept that things won’t always go according to plan. Lindsay shares that she experienced many failures along the way, but that it was those lessons that helped her grow to where she is today.
If you’re trying to build your brand, the most important thing for you to do is just be yourself. When you show up as your authentic self every time and stay true to your values, you will attract like minded individuals and naturally grow your connections.
Quote
• “You really have to ask for the feedback and be willing to take it and adapt and shift. And that's just not just in business, it’s in life.” (15:00-15:06 | Lindsay)
• “You can plan all you want, but you better understand that as much as you plan, you're going to have to undo the plan, because things don't go as planned.” (17:35-17:45 | Lindsay)
• “You have to fail in order to succeed.” (18:26-18:27 | Lindsay)
• “With the lessons and the failures I firmly believe that my whole experience, the holistic experience of me forming, founding, building, scaling, selling, and even not having the outcome the way I wanted it to be, that whole holistic experience is what has allowed me to do what I do now.” (23:17-23:43 | Lindsay)
• “It's really important in business and in life that you just stay true to your own values and you don't compromise your integrity for short term gain.” (38:05-38:13 | Lindsay)

“If a system has been created for you and you feel it can work for you, my wish is for people to try to maintain it as best as they can,” shares Brooke Milton, The Duchess of Declutter. Brooke can remember being as young as 3 years old sorting all of her stuffed animals as a coping mechanism that helped her to feel more in control. Having an organized home has always been something that Brooke feels she cannot function effectively without. It was not until she was 39 years old that she finally found out that the reason she was different was because she was wired that way. Instead of letting her OCD diagnosis be a limitation, Brooke leaned in and turned it into her greatest gift and superpower.
Unless you are like Brooke and find home organization fun, it is probably going to be a challenge to change your habits. At the end of the day, it is all about committing to maintaining an organizational system. A professional like Brooke can help you get started, but the system will fall apart unless you choose to maintain it. Some tips for getting started are to decide on a criteria for bringing in new things and getting rid of old ones, to focus on your needs vs wants, and to not feel guilty when considering letting go of something that was given as a gift.
Your physical space is a representation of your mindset. Making small changes to your environment can make a big difference to your mindset and your life as a whole. All that stuff in your environment clutters not only your space, but your brain too. So really consider how much stuff you want taking up your brain space.
Quotes
• “The thing that makes me different is my greatest gift.” (5:57-6:00 | Brooke)
• “What I recommend is not looking at the room, or the area, or the project collectively, but having to break it down into very, very small pieces, very digestible pieces. And starting with a very quick win.” (17:10-17:26 | Brooke)
• “You have to be in a good headspace to deal with something that's not fun.” (18:05-18:10 | Brooke)
• “I love getting rid of things, but I'm not about to say that somebody can’t have a statue or a little ornament, because it represents something very significant in their lives.” (26:14-26:28 | Brooke)
• “The systems don't work if the habits don't change. Your systems are only as good as you're willing to keep them, they're not magic.” (29:24-29:31 | Brooke)
• “You have to have some criteria for filtering things in and out of your house.” (31:24-31:30 | Brooke)
• “People think we need more than we do. We don’t. We need very little.” (32:32-32:37 | Brooke)
• “If a system has been created for you and you feel it can work for you, my wish is for people to try to maintain it as best as they can.” (46:07-46:20 | Brooke)

“I had learned how to be a cheerleader, I had to learn how to be the motivator, I had learned how to be the person who comforted myself when I felt terrible. And that was what made me feel so good at the end, and I knew I wanted to teach other women how to do the exact same thing,” explains Corinne Crabtree, master certified weight and life coach and host of the wildly successful podcast about #NoBSweightloss, Losing 100 Pounds With Corinne. Learning to love yourself is all about re-learning how to communicate with yourself more kindly. When you change your mindset and step into self-confidence and self-love, you can accomplish anything.
Corinne was bullied extensively for her weight throughout her childhood. When Corinne became a mother and realized that at 250 pounds she did not have the energy to play with her young son the way she wanted to, she decided to get very serious about making a change. Corinne had attempted weight loss numerous times, sharing that she started going to Weight Watchers at just 11 years old. The difference between those earlier attempts and this one was that this time Corinne worked on transforming her mindset to be more motivational. Instead of being discouraged and telling herself that what she was doing was not good enough, Corinne learned how to turn off that cruel little voice and replace it with her cheerleading voice.
Take time to notice when that little voice in your head is being mean to you. Is it saying that you are not good enough or that your attempts to change are never going to work? This voice is trying to keep you safe by keeping you the same. In order to achieve lasting change, you will need to learn how to switch off this voice and instead turn on your cheerleading voice.
Quotes
• “I had learned how to be a cheerleader. I had to learn how to be the motivator. I had learned how to be the person who comforted myself when I felt terrible. And that was what made me feel so good at the end, and I knew I wanted to teach other women how to do the exact same thing.” (6:28-6:44 | Corinne)
• “It doesn't matter if you can have self love right now, the real thing is, are you willing to learn? That's the difference maker.” (8:18-8:28 | Corinne)
• “It's a skill we develop. Women, honestly, we're not taught it. No one tells us. It's not modeled for us very often. I mean, nowadays we all talk about it, but you’ve got to imagine most of us are walking around as the walking wounded. We have decades of never hearing this stuff and then we get mad at our moms. I'm like they didn’t get this either, why are we mad at her? She didn't know any better.” (9:27-9:55 | Corinne)
• “If you really want to build a better relationship with yourself, you have to listen to how often you're telling yourself and stopping yourself from progressing when you say, ‘but that's not good enough.’ And you’ve got to be real honest in that moment.” (13:54-14:09 | Corinne)

“You might think it is the finish line that is the reward. The promotion, the big house, making the team or making the grade, the accolades are literally the medal at the finish line. But I promise you, the real reward is how you will feel,” explains host Leslie Randolph, self-confidence coach for confident teens and confident women. Your feelings are your greatest motivator. If you only allow yourself to feel doubt, insecurity, or anxiety throughout your journey to a goal, you may give up before reaching the finish line. Instead, celebrate every small step along the way and notice how much more motivated you feel.
When you are working on goal setting, it can be easy to think the reward is only the finish line at the end. But if you only focus on the finish line, you will miss out on all of the opportunities for celebration along the way. The pride, excitement, and accomplishment you feel from celebrating each small step will fuel you to take the next step, and then the next step, until you reach your goal. One easy way to get started is to make a list of all of your accomplishments. You’ll be so proud of yourself when you take the time to actually notice how much you have accomplished in your life.
Why didn’t they tell us to celebrate the small steps? Feeling a sense of accomplishment along the journey to your goal is what will fuel you to take the next step and to ultimately reach the finish line. Make time to regularly celebrate your achievements, no matter how small, and you will be amazed by how much more motivated and excited you are overall.
Quotes:
• “Taking the time to celebrate this step, 11 episodes published, is what is going to get me to the next step.” (3:12-3:22 | Leslie)
• “You might think it is the finish line that is the reward. The promotion, the big house, making the team or making the grade, the accolades are literally the medal at the finish line. But I promise you, the real reward is how you will feel.” (9:05-9:30 | Leslie)
• “If you feel awful the entire journey, you might not even get to that finish line.” (11:57-12:05 | Leslie)
• “If you take the time to notice and to feel pride every day, you will always be able to find something for which you are proud of.” (14:21-14:32 | Leslie)
• “If you're going after a goal, I want you to be sure that you are taking the time to celebrate the small steps.” (17:22-17:30 | Leslie)
• “Why didn't they tell us that feelings are fuel? And the feeling that we yearn for at the finish line, that is the feeling that will fuel us along the way.” (19:27-19:39 | Leslie)

“It's really just taking control back into your hands with what you have control over, which is not how quickly your skin is going to heal, but how you want to show up as you're going through the healing journey itself,” explains Lydia Han, an acne mindset coach who helps women struggling with acne stop hating themselves and their skin. Lydia was inspired to become an acne mindset coach due to her own experiences with severe cystic acne in her 20s. How she felt about her acne and the stories she chose to tell herself caused her to miss out on a lot of her life, from taking a leave of absence at work to not going out with friends. Lydia shares how to regain your self-confidence and self-love by changing the stories you tell yourself about your acne and choosing to live your life anyway.
If you constantly look in the mirror and hate what you see because of your struggle with acne, you’re not alone. A lot of the pain and suffering that comes with acne is actually much more to do with your mindset than it is about the acne itself. You may not be able to control how long your skin takes to heal, but you can control how you choose to think about it and how you choose to show up in the world. It can be difficult to switch from being super negative to all of a sudden feeling positively about yourself and loving your skin, so the first step is to begin viewing acne as neutral. Choose to tell yourself a different story and to love yourself unconditionally.
Why didn’t they tell us that we can choose to tell ourselves a different story about acne? When you catch yourself having a negative thought about your skin in the mirror, take a minute to analyze that thought. How does it make you feel? Remember, you can always choose to tell yourself a different story that makes you feel better about the skin you’re in.
Quotes:
• “I can wait to live my life once my skin clears up, or I can choose to live my life in a way that I wanted to, even if it was uncomfortable, even if it required more courage and vulnerability from me.” (6:07-6:22 | Lydia)
• “Acne is just the neutral thing, but it's the stories that we tell ourselves on top of it that causes the suffering and the pain.” (11:36-11:45 | Lydia)
• “It's really just taking control back into your hands with what you have control over, which is not how quickly your skin is going to heal, but how you want to show up as you're going through the healing journey itself.” (16:23-16:37 | Lydia)
• “There's a huge difference between letting those thoughts just play in the background or catching ourselves mid-thought and then choosing, ‘do I want to think it or do I not?’.” (18:10-18:22 | Lydia)
• “Your skin is just one little aspect of who you are.” (22:37-22:40 | Lydia)
• “If you're constantly focusing on your imperfections, the breakouts on your face, the things that you don't like about yourself, you're going to see more and more of those things when you look in the mirror.” (24:15-24:26 | Lydia)

“If I can show you with your underwear drawer where we can make some changes in your thinking, we can apply that thinking to all the other areas of your life,” explains Judith Gaton, master certified life coach, personal stylist, lawyer, and author of How to Be A F*cking Lady, A Modern Guide to Being Charming and Fierce AF. Judith is also the founder of the Modern Charm School, a private online social club for high achieving women who want to learn more about style, generating wealth, leadership, and leaving a legacy. She shares how making even just small changes to your style can help you to regain your self-confidence.
Style is how you choose to show up in the world. When you don’t dress in a way that matches how you feel about yourself on the inside, you are likely to feel uncomfortable. By choosing to make time for yourself and practicing self-love through your style choices, you will feel more confident in your own skin. If you are nervous about how others will react to your new style, give yourself permission to play around with it at home in your closet. This will help you to learn what works and what doesn’t with very low stakes.
Why didn’t they tell us how to get ready or how important style is? How you dress makes a big difference in how you show up in the world. Instead of always putting your own needs last, show yourself self-love by taking time to get dressed in a way that makes you feel more like yourself.
Quotes:
• “Fashion maybe doesn't matter to your day-to-day life, but style, how you choose to show up to do your work in the world, to serve the people you serve, to love the people that you love, to be in the communities that you're in, yeah. That does matter, because human heuristics are always at play.” (6:00-6:17 | Judith)
• “I want my outsides to match how I feel about myself on the inside.” (7:14-7:16 | Judith)
• “Why didn't they tell us how to get ready? Why didn't they tell us how to shop for a good suit or a good bra? Why did nobody tell us how important this part would be? Because there's such an emphasis on just be smart. Just get the piece of paper. Just hit that next milestone in your business. Just X, Y, or Z. And then you can worry about that stuff. And it's like, no, no. How about we worry about that stuff now? Cause it's gonna affect how you show up for the rest of this.” (9:25-9:53 | Judith)
• “If I can show you with your underwear drawer where we can make some changes in your thinking, we can apply that thinking to all the other areas of your life.” (18:22-18:32 | Judith)
• “All of it's a learning process. If everything was always grandiose and wonderful when you put it on, you wouldn't learn anything about yourself.” (45:24-45:30 | Judith)
• “Play in your closet first. Failing there is such low stakes.” (45:55-45:58 | Judith)

“Taking care of your own wants and needs is the most beautiful thing you can do. Let's normalize that. Let’s be our own Valentine's and take care of ourselves,” shares host and self-confidence coach for women and teens, Leslie Randolph. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, people are focused on showing love to others, but that doesn’t mean you should neglect self-love. Be your own Valentine and take control of how you want to feel.
It’s likely you have feelings that come to mind when you think of Valentine’s Day, and many of those feelings are probably unpleasant. You may have had big relationship goals for a past Valentine’s Day and your partner fell short of your expectations. If you assign meaning to what people do or don’t do based on something arbitrary like the date, rather than focusing on the facts, you will just end up feeling awful unnecessarily.
Make a plan for how you want to feel on Valentine’s Day. If you want to feel loved and appreciated, remind yourself of how loved and appreciated you already are every day leading up to the holiday. Tune into Why Didn’t They Tell Us for a conversation with host Leslie Randolph about being your own Valentine.
Quotes:
• “The meaning we assign to other people's actions, the thoughts we think about what they do or don't do will determine how we feel.” (7:34-7:42 | Leslie)
• “I want you to plan in advance how you want to feel on Valentine's Day.” (8:45-8:48 | Leslie)
• “There is so much lovability to you, regardless of what other people do or don't do on Valentine's Day. You want to feel appreciated? You remind yourself of that now and leading up to the day. Remind yourself every day how appreciated and loved you are. There's so much evidence for it when you look for it. So friends, yes, today, every day, and especially leading up to February 14th, be your own Valentine.” (10:03-10:36 | Leslie)
• “Taking care of your own wants and needs is the most beautiful thing you can do. Let's normalize that. Let’s be our own Valentine's and take care of ourselves.” (11:55-12:09 | Leslie)
• “Focus on the facts versus the optional meaning you can assign to it.” (12:52-12:57 | Leslie)
• “Do not let the date, a neutral circumstance, just the fact that it's February 14th, do not assign meaning to that. That is unnecessary if it makes you feel terrible.” (16:13-16:24 | Leslie)
• “Love is the greatest feeling in the world. Give it to yourself.” (20:44-20:47 | Leslie)
