Ever feel like your biggest roadblock isn’t out there—but in your own head? In this powerful keynote, Joey Toth gets real about that inner voice—the one that second-guesses, overthinks, and keeps you stuck. Instead of pushing it down or powering through, they offer a new approach: name it, challenge it, and rewrite the script. With bold “I am” statements and a heavy dose of self-compassion, they show how shifting your inner dialogue can unlock confidence you didn’t know you had. It’s not about being fearless—it’s about showing up anyway. Because real growth starts when you finally believe you’re enough.

Quotes:

• "You control how you take in your experiences through how you choose to feel, how you choose to believe in yourself, and how you choose to present yourself."
• "Deep down, every single one of you—every single one of us—knows exactly what we're capable of."
• "The most difficult moments of our lives can bring the greatest change. They can offer new perspectives and insights."

Key Takeaways:

• Write down 3-5 "I am" statements that define your core identity and personal strengths.

• Identify one specific goal you want to achieve by the end of the year, then outline three concrete steps to make it happen.

• Practice catching and redirecting negative self-talk by pausing when your "monkey mind" starts spinning unproductive thoughts.

• Spend 10 minutes daily practicing self-compassion and writing down what you genuinely love about yourself.

• Choose one accountability partner who believes in your potential and can support your personal growth objectives.
