If I could give my 25 year old self advice it would be to stop being a doormat and start standing up for myself. Stop people pleasing and be assertive. I just turned 40 and I’m learning how to do these things now. ❤
Hello🥺
Chris Evans best day now that you can do that little one is good news people can do the morning the guy you can be back like that so now you feel like you can do that now from my best good luck with the best news
The 6 pillars of self esteem talks about self assertiveness
Never is to late for being the best version of yourself keeping focus on your goals and you will be able to nailed
I stopped being a doormat at 19. I am 25 now.
"You knew who you were when you were in high school. And you let go of some of that for lots of reasons. People. College. Situations. People around you. And once you relearn to re-be the girl you were in high school you will grow into the full woman you will be." This. I needed to hear this. I'm going to keep coming back to it every time I need motivation. Also, "We all knew who we were when we were little. We knew our power then. It was just second-guessed. Follow that instinct. Pay attention to that flame in you. Because it is REAL. Keep it fueled. And don't let anyone try to blow it out because you're going to need that." Thank you. 🌸
Thank you because i was already burned out in high school. Its when i was 4 or 5 that i knew who i was. That time is hard to remember, but dammit i wasnt (and am not) afraid of doing whatever i wanted to do. I wasnt afraid. I wasnt AFRAID period. I was bright, loud, didnt need anybody, and wasnt afraid to be on my own.
Thank you for writing Down this 🙏
why are you listening to this mans advice for girls?
It doesn't take a life time to turn it around or come in to a lovable person who respects the way you live in the world.
Omg exactly these lines hit hard, same here. Such a powerful and truthful words. Thank you for this! I really needed to heart it. Thank you.🍀🙏
It’s nice to hear things like this every once in a while, especially as a 25 year old woman. We put so much pressure on ourselves, but it’s important to look back and see just how far we’ve come
Hello🥺
Also, it helps the future! A peaceful place for our children! ☺️
the patriarchy will put you right everytime, even if it has to wear a dress to do so 😂
Really true. I agree your idea🎉
I’m a full grown person and I could watch this over and over again 😭 thank you, amazing women, for being open with your self-doubt
But she talks about outside world. When self doubt is your inner world. It's like treating disease with painkiller. We need to figure out what's behind that self doubt, mostly it's fear. Because everything in our life based on either the fear or love. Fear is ego, love is heart. Once you ask yourself why am I fearing and break it down point by point you will realise this is just your own mind games. Illusion that comes from ego. Because heart loves and accepts everything. We are wonderful as we are from the birth, because God (Source) created us like that. But system that was created by elites ( including her) in our world wants to keep humanity in control, because when you constantly reminded of self doubt and fear, you gonna think about it. Whatever your attention goes, energy flows.
She is an amazing woman.

@@evgeniam685 she can't relate becuz she's never been a young girl
If I could give my 25yr old self advice? I’d tell her to do it all for YOU, and not for someone else.
That's a Popular lifestyle for most young people that always seems to lead to major regrets and depression in their 30s.. A better one is to Choose better friends.. You can try to help people but never let them drag you down along with them..
@@myman8336 I hear what you are saying, but I’m tailoring the advice to me specifically. A few times in my life I made decisions in order to not hurt others, but it hurt myself instead. As for your words! Haha yup, we are the company we keep. 🙃
I believe that there are no coincidences in life. This video wasn't one either. Michelle and Melinda's words really struck a chord with me as a soon to be 24 year old. I'm realizing how much I gave up because of self-doubt and selfish people around me, who merely looked at me as a tool to fulfill their needs and wants first, without me having the proper chance or ability to recognize my own, in the midst of emotional blackmail and over-scrutinization and judgements of my actions. I now realize, I am free and I am worthy. Alhamdulilah.
This is the one… thank you for this. May your life journey be full of blissful joy and happiness. May all your wants be fulfilled!
@@madebyjoliene8070 Thank you for the lovely wish, I wish you the same and more! ❤️
I relate to you 🤗
Mike and Mel. Both have penises sorry but tall need to wake up NOW! BAPHOMITS
Thank you for posting. Just know you are not alone. I have come to experience a similar situation, and by what I have been seeing, this has been happening to many others. The important part is that you speak up and do not let it unnoticed.. Also, once you find people who believe in you, you should not let go of them and invest in them.
Michelle Obama is certainly passing the light on to the women and girls in the world. It's her virtue and compassion that radiates and has a lasting effect. So much love and best wishes to her and her family. Thank you for being so open and true.
Don't take advice from a trans man. He has no idea what it's like being a woman. His name is Michael and he fooled the world along with Obama.

Hello🥺
Seeing our own Wanjiru Wahome 🇰🇪 share the platform with these powerful women wow we are so proud of her
🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪
🇰🇪🇰🇪🔥
I am 33 year olds this year, I am still struggling with my self-doubt event situation but this speech has inspired me a lot. Thank you
I don't know anyone who hasn't been a victim of self-doubt. Even those who grew up in supportive and encouraging environments can fall prey to self-doubt because with the encouragement and acknowledgment, comes the tacit (and sometimes overt) high expectation from your environment. And when you're constantly being depended on and viewed as responsible, capable, or whatever other positive labels were given to you, the self-doubt comes from the feeling of being able to live up to those expectations.
So true💕
Hit the nail on the head.
"In order to break the cycles of negativity, you got to get up every day and do the work right before you." Thank you for this wisdom Michelle O'Bama. Women's work is often denigrated, even if it is what is holding things together at a deep and subtle level. Here is an excerpt from the writings of Marshall Vian Summers about work and the value of it, not whether it is considered great or small by the world. "My mission is great. Therefore, I am free to do small things. It is only your grandiose ideas, which are a cover for fear, anxiety and despair, that you would avoid the small things that are required for you to do in the world. Again, do not confuse the greatness of your mission with the smallness of your duties. Greatness expresses itself in the smallest thing, in the tiniest action, in the most fleeting thought, in the simplest gesture and in the most mundane circumstances... Therefore, be content doing small things in the world. Be simple and humble in the world so that greatness may flow through you without obstruction." (MVS, Steps to Knowledge)
Thanks!
Thank you so much
i too am grateful to have read this ~
I'm going to listen to this every day. When Melinda and Michelle said you knew who you were you knew your power and it was second-guessed, I felt that. I was the third highest-ranking student in my class and always met with crude remarks like why do you study so much are you working on a PhD along the way I internalized it. Now it's time for me to step in my full power and potential for me, the woman of the future generations and the one that has gone before making sacrifices and paving the way for us.
How does Amal end up stuck in the last round of q's, and still answer in such a way she comes out on top on the issues? I'm impressed every time I hear her speak.
“There is power in what we do everyday” - that is profound to me 💕
Doesn't make sense though. A trany telling girls how to be? WTF? Go back to Man's Country bath house Michael.

Thats not a woman thats big mike
This is so inspiring for a new mama, not just young girls. You are enough and you are the best mama for your kids.
Small steps everyday will lead to one big leap one day. Just believe in what you do and you will get there.
Define failure as not trying! That's 🔥. Thank you
She is amazing, she broke down the simple truth!
As someone who's been struggling with this a lot in my middle 20s now too and especially as life changing decisions come up, it's also the idea that to be taken seriously, I need to hide my Feminine side and be always in the masculine/aggressive energy because of authority or male figures that have been invasive, aggressive and/or disrespectful and I have had to constantly be on alert or defend myself, because those I come across often take advantage of my more gentle side so I'm always on defense mode... like, you can not be taken seriously unless you look or act more masculine or be extra serious. Ms. Michelle's words have helped me through very dark, difficult periods and thoughts of self-doubt, seclusion, feeling misunderstood. In addition to that, Ms. Michelle herself is an inspiration and showcasing how those in important positions are human, too and have self-doubts which are, as she says pushed onto us by society on purpose.
Embrace femininity 💜
Same here. I grew up and worked in a very male-dominated industry, and felt like I had to lose my feminine side to fit in and be taken seriously. I’ll be 60 in February. Oh, how I wish I had done things differently through the years. But it’s never too late to become the women we were always meant to be. Wishing you the best.
What is ur feminine side how do u define it
I can relate this too as a guy who's always been shy and grew up in a socially inept environment
Find yourself a man who’s gonna be president one day, like Michelle did. It’s really easy.
"Everybody knows she's a man" RIP Joan Rivers

@@shreel8880 yeah how close are you to know her 'real' personality? Might as well take her words real or fake and get a job than hating people who are already successful and now contributing to lifting others
@@mansisrivastava4886 'Success' ,' lifting others' can be ascribed to one who upholds morals, principles and ethics. Here's just one of the examples of her(or his)evil intentions- “Amy, an 11-year-old girl, joins a group of dancers named “the cuties” at school, and rapidly grows aware of her burgeoning femininity - upsetting her mother and her values in the process.” This is an overview of the show on Netflix called 'Cuties' promoted by her(or him). Nobody in their right mind would've promoted child porn
All of these women are amazing. WE are amazing women. It is only us who sabotage ourselves sometimes. Great interview. Love from Spain 💕🌷
Michelle was once a Michael you know right?
@al2954 and you are viewed as a disappointment in your community, you know that?
This is such powerful message from Michelle Obama. Grateful for the reinforcement on “there is power in what we do everyday”, “I am worthy”, “I have value”! Yes, the process takes a lifetime.
I like how she has a penis and talks about women empowerment while asking herself, what is a women's sport?
Wow... I love this!!! I needed this. I respect this so much. "Not trying at all is the real failure" Amal
I’d say to my 25 year old self that “the future ahead is beautiful and you didn’t need to worry a second.” I came to the United States as an international student but I am now living the American Dream. I created this channel to inspire and share tips with others who are aspiring to be on or struggling on a similar path.
This is such a wonderful discussion. Is there a link to the full interview?
Amal Clooney is amazing. All of these wonderful women are influencing an entire generation! I hope young girls listen carefully to identify talents of what they can do
Congratulations!!!!! This is to informed you that >>>>Michelle obama
God I hope not.
There’s no such thing as women
One of these women sat up there because of her husband's political position. That teaches girl to find the right man to marry, and the world will admire them.
Every person has self-doubt and insecurities. Whether you are male or female. The trick is, how do you use that to either inspire you or subdue you..
Exactly!
I got a phat cok when I'm down I look at my phat cok and feel better
will we be miserable and die unhappy if we do things that diverge from the so considered 'original' path
Woah I'm in awe with how the way Mrs. Michelle Obama explained it with such a well spoken words
Mr. She is a man. Wake up!!!
Wow 👏 Michelle's message is just wow
Michelle thankyou for your insight 👍
I've just never heard her speak negative of anyone, that's an appreciated woman. I'm never afraid she'll say something that'll purposely hurt another woman's feeling. I know noone is perfect, everyone rants and raves, but through her offsprings you can tell what type of person she really is!
Much needed... Such an amazing woman ✨ so inspiring she is. Wish I have someone in my life to motivate me & tell me it's okay to have flaws & believe in me.
If only she were a woman, for starters 🙄
My mom was the Vice President of her company… one day I called her crying and I asked “do you ever feel like a little fish in a big pond…” or something like that… and she said “Tiff.. everyday!” So, I KNOW I can do this. I sing to myself “just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep swimming swimming… what do we do? We swim! Swim!” It helps.. I have these dreams that just seem so far beyond me… but I came this far from sleeping outside with nothing and people just dogging me! I know I’m one of God’s favorites! I gotta be! I should be dead right with the things I have been through! I’m supposed to be dead.. And now.. I’m going to school for Aerospace. Don’t give up…
how large was her company? how many employees does her company had?
@@ioidt I don’t know, I know it was a well known insurance company… this was so long ago I can’t remember. She doesn’t work anymore now, she got sick and now she lives with me
Thank you Amal for raising Iran women's current issue and situation. Pls keep helping all women as you have been so far

This came up at the very moment I needed to hear it - amazing!
Self-doubt is real in executing dreams and dampens our spirits when intensified by other people's opinions. Thank you, all great ladies, for wonderful insights and lessons learnt.
Amal's answer (about self doubt) is such a non-answer lol. Especially right after Michelle's beautiful, authentic and very uplifting advice
I mean I think it's hard to follow something like that especially when Michelle's answer was so complete.
I agree! Not relatable! I don't mind the mum talk but it's much cooler when a speaker take a look at the audience and try to connect w them versus going with the just me/selfish type of answer.
Yes it's a downer
It also makes sense. A lot of people like to shoulder everything or afraid to talk about their doubts and fears. Aftaid of being judged or showing weakness. So it is also important to surround yourself with that positivity and yes people who are there for you in times when you're in a dark space that you can’t even convince yourself because self love is limiting. I grew up not having a lot of confidence and all my self esteem was crushed by my very own mother. After moving and living with people who reassure me I started to gain the strength and confidence to see that my mothers does not define me. And that’s when I started to learn how to look at myself. So yes it is also important to seek support when you need it. Yes education is important so that you are confident for example in your career but if you have self doubt because people envy you and talk badly about you or feel isolated. That's when we always need to reinforce our mindset and surround ourselves in positivity wherever that maybe. People can still crush your spirit no matter who you are and even if you accomplished a lot. So it's important also to see yourself for you and not just based on how much money you have, education, or superficial things like beauty etc. That’s also how we can get the ahead of ourselves whether if we think we lack or we are better than others.

Awesome!! Thanks Ladies!!
I am 25 year-old and I had struggled with people pleasing most of my life after high school. If I was to give myself advice to look back on when I am 30, I would say just silent the whisper of self-doubt, and focus on what and who really matters, most importantly, there is so little youth to waste on people who are undeserving and wants us to feel powerless. Find your own people, and spend the most quality time with them. If you have not met them yet, then keep working hard until you do. And be calm, stop forcing everything and stop convincing your brain of something that isn't real. To summarise, believe in yourself, work hard, have fun and live life to its fullest!
Thank you, Michelle Obama, thank you! Please keep speaking up and speaking out. We need you and your message.

This is an incredibly valuable conversation. I love these women, for sharing all their experiences, and as someone who grew up in a less than perfect world, I truly believe in when Melinda gates said "you knew who you were" back in high school. It's society that tries to break women down, to become compliant.
She also said the next ones really going to get their attention this time....they are going to release another virus.
So timely and on point!
I needed this desperately 😩
Great advice!! ❤❤
Anyone can have self doubt. But historically, women, who were always viewed by society in a secondary role have additional challenges that make it a daily practice to nurture awareness, self care and self love to offset the slings and arrows of the outside world. It is required to carve out that time at the end of the day. It is a practice. ✨🌞✨
Every one is a Victim, we care for people based on Victimhood now I guess.
No it dont you are a protected class with more rights then men you don't have to do nothing and will still get a job based on your sex and not your skill or find a simp that will take care of you. Women in America are put on a pedestal while men are treated like expendable trash

"Build up a lifetime of another story for yourself." That's a new favorite quote, Lady Obama!
