Find Yourself Before the Pageant

Are you chasing a crown or are you running from yourself? What if I told you the crown that you're competing for will never validate who you are as a person? Before the judges ever say yes to you, have you said yes to yourself? Are you ready to find yourself before you compete?
 
In this episode of the Powerhouse Podcast, Coach Megan discusses the importance of finding and embracing your true self before competing in pageants. She emphasizes that winning a crown does not validate you as a person but reveals the confidence you already possess. Listen to her practical tips on defining core values, embracing imperfection, and fostering self-confidence through spiritual practices to find yourself BEFORE your pageant!
 
Quotes:
 
0:16       “   The crown does not create confidence. It reveals it. ”
 
7:18       “  Before the judges say yes to you, you have to learn to say yes to yourself. ”
 
15:52     “ The stage is a chance to showcase who I am. Not a tool to define who I am. ”
