Jennifer and another speaker share how to feel confident with pectus excavatum, a chest condition that causes a sunken breastbone. They discuss building self-assurance through fitness, mindset shifts, and accepting your body at the beach or pool.
One of the number one questions that I get is how do you become so confident when you have pectus excavatum? How do you gain confidence? How do you like the way you feel? How do you start loving your body even when you have a big asshole in your chest? And right now I'm on the beach in San Diego.
Mission Beach.
Beautiful out here. Jennifer, right here.
I have my crazy hair. Look at this baby. Let me see if I can fix you. No, I don't think I can.
It looks good. Beach is beautiful. And Jennifer, so what, what's. What's your advice to the guys out there that think that are not confident in their body when they have pectus?
Advice regarding a foot.
Like, what. What made you attract to me? And a lot of guys out there think that because they have a hole in their chest or pectus excavating, that curls aren't gonna like them. Do you think that's true?
Depend on the girl.
Yeah.
I mean, to be very honest, advice is to. To have, like, a girl that accept you. Accept them, Accept them. And something that attracted me so much about you, it was that you were always confident.
Yeah.
Like, you were not, like, hiding it or, like, making like, being weird or like, I don't know, like. Because that's not attractive. Like, guys that they're not. Yeah, I have a hole in. What's up?
Yeah. Is that what I said? That's what I said. I was like, yeah, I got a hole. What's up? Kind of something like that, Right?
Something like that.
So I guess the answer was basically, I didn't care about it. I was just confident in who I was. Right. Didn't even make it a big deal. Do you think. Do you think if I was like, I'm afraid to take my shirt off or I'm afraid you're not gonna like me? And like, I was like, oh, let's. Let's keep the shirt on. I was kind of weird. I was weird about it, Right. If I was weird about it, would. You probably wouldn't like, what the.
Yeah, definitely.
Yeah.
And then like, like rest a lot.
Of points, you know, on the guy. Yeah.
Because it's like, why doesn't he want him stir up?
Doesn't make sense. Yeah. It makes you, like, feel kind of weird about him.
Yes.
He's not confident. So honestly, the biggest thing that made the difference for me was just becoming more confident. And that started with building muscle in the gym, seeing my body grow, seeing me transform by lifting weights in the gym. And now being at 25 years old. I literally have the body that I've always wanted, and I'm still working on it, but I'm the biggest I've ever looked. The most muscle, and that's what helped me gain confidence. But more importantly, my mindset, you know, not being afraid to take my shirt off at the beach. Right. Not being afraid to see what other people think or, you know, it's interesting. One of the best things you can do is when someone looks at you, smile. Smile. Yeah. I told you that. Right. So I used to try to cover up my chest when I was walking on the beach or without my shirt, and then I changed it. Whenever I would walk around without my shirt, I would look at someone, I would just smile at them so that they, like, what the. Because they see my chest, and then they see me smiling, like. Oh.
Because they, like, normally what people do is that, like, they look down.
Yeah.
Like they look another way or something.
Yeah. But then when you're smiling and they're like, oh, right. And it just shows.
It makes concentrate in you.
Yeah. On you as a person and not, why do you look like that? Right. And the best challenge I have for you guys, if you're feeling unconfident in your body, way you look, you're not confident with who you are, and you're just desperately looking for a solution to make you feel better about your body and, you know, not care about what girls think that aren't the right ones either. Because if they make it a big deal, it's probably because you're making it a big deal and you're not confident in who you are, which takes time. Which takes mentally programming yourself to say, I like myself. I love my body. I love my life. I'm confident. I feel good. I look good. I'm getting better every single day. I'm putting the work in the gym, putting the work on my mental programming and reading my books and getting stronger. And that, over time, leads to you being more confident. And I don't think if I like. Jennifer said, if I wasn't confident, she wouldn't have been attracted to me. Well, there's your answer. So, Jennifer, I'm gonna sign these guys off, but tell them bye.
Bye.
