In life, there are days and moments where everything we do does not feel enough, or face situations that are beyond our control. A common response to such instances is to doubt ourselves and our abilities, and that is a very normal and human thing to do. But the effect of self-doubt can cut both ways: It can either spur us to achieve our goals and thereby boost our confidence levels, or cause us to feel entirely powerless and paralysed. Fortunately, whether we allow it to work for or against us is mostly up to us. In this issue, we will explore the ways in which we can harness self-doubt to build confidence -- one step at a time. | Moving from Self Doubt to Self Confidence It would be nice if moving from self doubt to self confidence just came naturally. However, moving from self doubt to self confidence is a practice you can adopt, with practice. When you are able to identify where your insecurities lie and what is stopping you from feeling confident, you can then start the process of moving from self doubt to self confidence. You will be able to work on eliminating the blocks that are keeping you from moving through life with assuredness. Here are some of the culprits for the patterns of self doubt and ideas for what you can do about them. | Why confidence and knowledge can lead to smart money decisions Two common areas that cause people to procrastinate financially are knowledge and confidence. Logically, we know that financial literacy can boost our confidence to make informed money-management decisions. Yet, many people tell me that they lack the confidence to learn and absorb that financial knowledge, which holds them back. However, everybody is capable of effectively managing their money. While some need mindset adjustments, others need a confidence boost or a little reassurance that they are on the right track. Take small steps, follow and when doubt starts to creep in, remind yourself that money is only a tool and you are learning. | 9 Habits That Are Destroying Your Confidence | Proudly Brought to You I seek to reach out to people who believe in safeguarding the interests of their loved ones.

I got to know Claudia from a gym about 7 years ago. We hardly spoke initially as our workout schedules were different. She was the one who broke the ice with a very warm “hello”. Later, I got to know she is an insurance agent. Subsequently, we hung out often and more so when we were preparing for our Hyrox race.
We are both moms (she has 4 kids btw!) and share the same passion for exercise, something that is crucially important especially for women at our age, to safeguard against bone density issues and broken bones in a fall. “We have to build muscles around our joints” has always been my motto.
Always first a friend and then a completely dependable insurance agent. She is the most hardworking friend / agent I know and she serves with a full heart. Because I exercise frequently and often quite clumsily, a personal accident plan became a must-have. When I needed help, Claudia is always just a phone call away. She dealt with all my claims super efficiently. When it came to contentious ones, she never shied away and followed up so closely and answered all the difficult questions on my behalf that I hardly needed to do anything but just wait for the $ to come in. The assurance and confidence she gave me when managing my policies and claims is really priceless.
I just want to say, thanks for the friendship and always making time and lending a listening ear, my awesome buddy! Cheers to more great time together building a healthier mind and body! | | | Tony & Family Impression of Claudia service
Started with just another agent to sell you things . But as my life started to get difficult and started business after losing my job , she was still there ! And supporting us through the years even we bought very few insurance policies . She was ever so friendly and supportive and non intrusive. And over the years saw us and nudge us to take better care of ourselves by way of telling us what to do along the way . Almost a godsend! | | | | |
