Embracing Your Authentic Self to Truly Connect With Others (Will Rubio)
The strongest connections don’t come from trying to impress others—they come from being real. True connection starts with understanding and accepting yourself first. When you embrace your own story, strengths, and even struggles, you create space for genuine relationships built on trust and meaning. In this session, we’ll explore how self-acceptance leads to deeper connections with others, why people-pleasing holds us back, and how compassion for yourself allows you to offer it to others.

Self-Confidence: Being You is Better Than Being Someone (Joey Mascio)
If only we were someone else we would be more popular, made fun of less, and more confident. Right? Nope! Because if you were somehow able to body swap with someone else, you’d still take your brain with you–and your brain is where you sabotage yourself. Instead of hijacking someone else’s body, work on taking back control of your brain that has been hijacked by negative self-talk and personal judgments. Not only is that option ACTUALLY possible, but it’s easier than you think and you can do it TODAY. Self-confidence is possible for anyone, especially you.

Perspectacles: Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life (Tracy Ward)
