But after realizing that the larger-than-life “Serena F*cking Kerrigan&#39;s persona was also a way to protect herself, Serena is now redefining what confidence actually looks like. Serena joins Josie for an unfiltered conversation about modern dating, self-worth, and how to shift your focus from getting someone to choose you to learning how to choose for yourself. She explains why a crush might just be a lack of information, how fear of being “too much” shapes the way we show up in our careers and relationships, and how to tell the difference between settling and simply letting go of the superficial checklist. This conversation goes far beyond dating, Serena gets vulnerable about the insecurities underneath her famous confidence, what her healthy relationship taught her about herself, and why becoming more confident has actually meant becoming softer. Plus, she and Josie talk career audacity, getting comfortable with rejection, why women need to ask for what they want, and Serena’s philosophy that something is only “cringe” until it works.</p><p><br></p><p>You’ll learn:</p><ul><li>How Serena&#39;s definition of confidence has changed</li><li>What a healthy relationship actually feels like</li><li>Why Serena believes “a crush is just a lack of information”</li><li>How to stop choosing people who aren’t choosing you</li><li>Serena’s rules for first dates, pursuit, situationships, and knowing when to move on</li><li>How to know whether you’re settling or simply dating a real human being with flaws</li><li>Why we should all stop trying to perform as the “cool girl”</li><li>The career mindset that helped Serena turn bold asks, rejection, and “cringe” ideas into major opportunities</li></ul><p><br></p><p><em>Give your skincare routine a glow-up with <u><a href=\"https://boncharge.com/products/red-light-face-mask?rfsn=9266592.df331e\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">BON CHARGE’s Red Light Face Mask</a></u></em></p><p><em>Shop now and use code &quot;EVERYGIRLPOD&quot; at checkout for 15% off.</em></p><p><br></p><p>For Detailed Show Notes visit <a href=\"https://www.theeverygirlpodcast.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">theeverygirlpodcast.com</a></p>","author_name":"The Everygirl Media Group"}
