4
Is she saying it better than me?
5
Yes, baby.
6
No. Hello.
7
Welcome back, everyone, to the Olivia and Tai podcast,
8
to the power of love podcast we've read your comments um we've really loved interacting with you all
9
and seeing how you're all enjoying our podcast
10
so today we wanted to bring something
11
that i think you guys would really value
12
because you valued the last one that we made about confidence
13
and insecurities and we're talking about this today specifically
14
because i feel like we're both struggling well i'm struggling right
15
now with my confidence a little bit i do too i mean not specifically
16
but sometimes when i feel down i do feel i'm struggling
17
but when i was younger i struggled a lot yeah
18
so today we're going to talk about insecurities confidence
19
and how to overcome those insecurities especially based on your beauty
20
especially about your face your body appearance actually i think i'm struggling
21
because i was thinking about i wanted to go on a modeling cast since January
22
but because I wasn't confident with my body until now I'm still kind of waiting to get a perfect body
23
and to go on a modeling casting so I'm still not
24
that confident honestly and I'm struggling with my body I struggle wanted to get more muscles
25
and stuff yeah
26
so I wanted to talk about things about your appearance your
27
face how I actually see beauty in you you know yeah
28
it's true for example today I woke up with more acne than usual
29
and like just it's just really frustrating
30
because I'm doing all these things right I'm eating healthy I'm
31
exercising I'm going to the dermatologist I'm doing everything right I'm getting enough sleep I am
32
but it's like I still get acne and
33
so today this morning I just had to remind myself like I really had to just sit down and think to myself, okay, you're healthy.
34
You, there's, there's nothing wrong with, um, any way that your body's functioning right now.
35
And you can, you have the energy to work.
36
You have the energy to go to the gym.
37
You have a voice.
38
You can breathe.
39
There's so many things that I can do that I need to be grateful for.
40
And so I just had to remind myself of that and
41
that like my value isn't in my appearance and my value is in myself.
42
It's in my attitude towards life
43
and it's in mostly I think my personality whenever I feel
44
insecure I really just think about what what I am like
45
what my personality is too whenever I was insecure maybe
46
when I was younger and I was going to a party
47
and I had acne or like I was feeling bloated
48
or I was feeling ugly I would always remember you know the only thing
49
that matters is your attitude if you feel confident then you look confident as well
50
and I think honestly the most attractive people are just
51
because they're confident yeah not because they look extremely beautiful you know it's
52
because they're really confident i've seen a lot of like reels
53
or like talking about girls are not like super skinny and
54
or like they're not fashionable but for example i would just sitting like this like this
55
and i don't feel confident you know
56
but i was changed change my posture like this you think
57
maybe i'll be more confident yeah it really makes a difference even though it maybe sounds stupid
58
but it really does like there are a ton of girls
59
that i've met um that maybe you wouldn't think they're conventionally attractive
60
but it's just like they would walk into a room
61
and just get all of the guy's attention
62
and like i'm not saying a guy's attention is the goal
63
but like it's it's because they're confident that they would get all the attention and like um
64
like it was different to other friends that i had
65
that were beautiful and like they just had zero confidence in themselves
66
and they thought very little of themselves and
67
so of course you're going to attract
68
that kind of person you're going to attract the person
69
that like thinks that about you that doesn't see your confidence
70
and doesn't see you for like your value for what you are yeah
71
so you're first like you come first
72
if you don't value yourself then nobody will
73
so like this morning i had to remind myself that
74
because i'm like
75
if i'm here feeling sorry for myself acting like i'm the victim saying oh i'm i look
76
so bad and whatever then of course other people are going to see me
77
that way but if I myself I'm like no I'm fine
78
if somebody wants to criticize me they will I'm confident myself then nobody can hurt me exactly
79
and like you went through lots of moments of insecurity
80
when you were younger too so like how did you get past
81
that like what were the things that you repeated in your mind to yourself
82
and what got you through those really hard times like when people would criticize your appearance so especially about the appearance,
83
honestly, right now I really do think I look good.
84
But when I was younger, I really don't because the beauty standard in Asia, in China, you have to look very pale, very perfect skin, big eyes,
85
very sharp jawline, very pointed out nose.
86
This is what people usually like.
87
And when I was younger, when I was in middle school and in high school, I have a lot of acne on my face, like a lot, a lot break out.
88
And also on my skin, on my chest, or on my back.
89
Even the time, my mom was telling me, don't show your chest, don't show your back.
90
Or even like some of your arms because you have
91
so much acne and people might feel gross because you show up that you know they will judge you.
92
I mean I know she wanted to protect me, she doesn't want me to feel judged but at
93
that time I will literally feel okay because I have acne so I'm gross.
94
So I'm the one being wrong.
95
I'm the one like being because I have alchemy that's why people don't like me,
96
that's why people don't think I'm beautiful and I was struggling that for a couple couple years
97
I was going to the doctor taking medicines it doesn't heal at all
98
and then yeah I just feel very depressed
99
and very insecure even like I wanted to hang out with the guy I like
100
if they kind of like don't want to hang out with me I would feel like oh maybe
101
because I'm not beautiful you know
102
and also at the time I was a little bit darker
103
skin people give me like a nickname it's like little black
104
yeah it's like made me really really insecure hey yeah seriously they call me shout hey
105
and also as long as i get a little bit fat a little bit my mom would say oh you're
106
so fat like even like right now like right now my
107
mom would say you're kind of like fat fat you know
108
so i was going through really hard shit when i was younger thinking about all the beauty standard and stuff.
109
So I think when I really overcome it is like I decided to be myself
110
because this is part of me and you kind of like accept you're not perfect and nobody's really perfect.
111
So I kind of accept my imperfection.
112
So I start to tell myself even you are not perfect, you can be confident.
113
and I start to learn more things, learning new language and travel, do things for myself, then I feel more confident.
114
I feel like, oh, once I start to wear some like, you know, tank top and don't cover my skin that much,
115
and yeah, I just got compliments from others as well, because I was faking it.
116
I was faking, okay, I don't care about it from first beginning.
117
I really remember we travel to Turkey at the time.
118
I was skinny at the time, but I still have a lot of acne scars on my back and stuff.
119
I was thinking about maybe people will judge me.
120
Maybe they will think it's a little bit gross, but I was faking it while I was walking on the street.
121
I was thinking, oh, people might don't care.
122
Right.
123
And I was wearing very nice outfit.
124
I was like, I'm beautiful.
125
I'm beautiful.
126
I keep telling myself my outfit looks good and everything's good just because of my skin, but I cannot change anything.
127
So I walk in the street and a lot of people give me like compliments, says, oh, I like your outfit, oh, you look so fit, you're so beautiful.
128
So they don't actually like move so close to look at your skin, you know, like to see, oh, this scar, this scar, whatever.
129
Honestly, you're the one amplify everything about yourself.
130
Actually, maybe nobody actually like realize it.
131
When I showed you just now about my acne on my back, like the scars, and you told You told me you thought we get it from Consume, but I was telling you I got it from like 10 years ago.
132
So nobody really noticed that, it's just you amplify this fear and insecurity for yourself.
133
So when you try to fake it, not thinking about it, yeah, I think that's where the confidence comes from.
134
And especially at the time I was in Turkey, I saw a lot of Europeans over there.
135
Even they have like a, you know, belly, like a bigger one, they still show it, they don't care, they really don't care
136
and they don't think like I'm fat so I'm gonna hide it.
137
So that's what I really really like about it.
138
That's why also kind of like I wanted to live in the Western world at the moment.
139
I was thinking about wow people really don't care if they feel like okay they don't look that good shape.
140
And they can still be beautiful.
141
That's how I overcome it I guess.
142
Especially about the appearance rights.
143
Yeah and I think it's a cultural thing too.
144
Yeah I think it's a cultural thing too.
145
Like it has a lot to do with where you grow up and the people that you surround yourself with.
146
And it's really good that you found
147
that maybe more in the Western world where it's a lot more maybe just like normalized.
148
I feel like, you know, people still criticize you.
149
People still will talk bad about you behind your back.
150
But I feel like it's just a lot more normalized.
151
People realize that they're human and can't be perfect.
152
You can't just hide yourself from humanity if you're not perfect because then nobody would leave their houses, you know.
153
And it's such a terrible thing to go through when you're that young too.
154
So for you to be able to find the strength in walking in the streets and just telling yourself that you're beautiful, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, even though you didn't think it, then eventually you get to the point where you do believe it.
155
And that's it.
156
It's really just fake it till you make it.
157
Like that's what we've always talked about when it comes to confidence, I think.
158
To fake it until you make it.
159
I think there's another really important point is from my friends.
160
And at the time I had a boyfriend, I think they're very supportive or telling me, okay you're beautiful my ex-boyfriend at the time he was telling
161
me every single day you're beautiful you're very beautiful i think
162
that helped me a lot that's really nice yeah i think
163
that it's the people you surround yourself with too
164
and you got into some really nice relationships yeah
165
that was a really nice one okay so tell us how do you feel like actually do you feel really insecure
166
like right now about your skiing it's just like it's just annoying like for me
167
when I look in the mirror and it's like I'm feeling confident
168
and it's like I see one coming out like it just brings you down you know
169
because you're like you feel like the day is like going
170
so well and then you just see that
171
and it does it brings your confidence down for sure um
172
but really it's like what you said i just have to continue telling myself telling myself telling myself
173
and by telling me that myself that this morning i felt
174
so much better after
175
and i was like it's a great day i'm gonna enjoy
176
my day i'm gonna do what i normally would do
177
and not make myself feel worse because of it
178
because sometimes people like they're already feeling bad
179
and they themselves just make themselves feel worse and go more
180
and more deeper deeper into that sadness
181
but you can't fit into it you have to like you
182
can't be the victim of your own story you have to
183
find a way out you have to be resilient towards yourself
184
too you know as a wise it's gonna be a loop you know
185
because you're gonna become sad maybe eating some really bad food
186
and then you'll cost you even more acne it's gonna be a very bad circle yeah
187
and you're punishing yourself and really like you deserve it
188
if that's the case you deserve it because you yourself are putting yourself deeper
189
and deeper into that place you decide where you want to be in life
190
and how you want to feel about yourself we all have the power to control how we feel about ourselves
191
and our own level of confidence we just have to like
192
work on it yeah slowly tell ourselves all in your mind you just need to practice it
193
because maybe from first beginning you don't think in that way
194
but you can start to tell yourself every single day practice thinking in this way
195
and after accumulation i think you will feel oh I don't need to think about I'm beautiful.
196
I'm naturally just feel I'm beautiful.
197
Exactly, yeah, that's so true.
198
So I have a question.
199
So do you think you're beautiful?
200
I do.
201
So why do you think you're beautiful?
202
Like right now, right now at this moment, I think I'm beautiful because
203
um it's mostly my personality I really think
204
that like I like the the ability
205
that I have to maybe make bring the good side of
206
people out um makes me feel beautiful also just being able to do what I'm doing
207
and to like to everyday see like the good side of everything it makes me feel beautiful as well
208
and also just like getting dressed up
209
and feeling pretty you know yeah appearance wise it's really important to just do
210
that sometimes because I used to be the type of person
211
that would never get ready and I would just wear my pajamas everywhere
212
and it'd be like oh I'm comfortable I'm good
213
but ever since I started getting fixed up
214
and getting ready it's really helped boost my confidence a lot
215
just putting on some earrings maybe like doing my makeup a
216
little bit not anything crazy putting on jewelry doing my nails wearing clothes
217
that make me feel confident make me feel beautiful
218
so there's different ways that I feel beautiful um
219
but I think yeah since I was little I felt like I was beautiful too
220
because um because of like I think it's because my family
221
and the people around me really reinforced that into me
222
that I was beautiful
223
so it had a lot to with my upbringing I think they boosted my confidence a lot the family
224
that I grew up with yeah what about you do you
225
feel beautiful I do I do feel beautiful right now especially
226
after I feel like I've been through a lot in my life
227
when I was younger and also I struggled a lot
228
and right now I can't stand where I stand right now
229
I feel like my life is beautiful I think I'm a beautiful person no matter how bad things I've seen
230
and like I'm always should choose to be a kind one.
231
I always choose to be a warm-hearted one and I always choose to help people.
232
That's why also I'm really think I'm beautiful because my personality.
233
I really do.
234
And also appearance rise, I think I'm beautiful too.
235
And I like dressed up.
236
You know, I like to dress up almost like every day because I feel like it makes me feel energized.
237
When you see yourself in the mirror, dress up a little bit and then do your hair, do your nail, do your like eyelash
238
and put some jewelry honestly you just feel beautiful yeah i think it's really good self-care you know
239
when you're trying to do some external things for yourself
240
and of course another thing is about exercise yeah about my boxing it really makes me feel beautiful
241
because i feel like i'm doing a lot of things i'm improving my body
242
and i'm curing my like eating disorder at the same time i get
243
so fit buddy like yesterday we took the picture of the
244
strong back yeah okay we'll insert the picture of our muscles yeah
245
and also my abs gradually coming out
246
and i can see my figures getting better
247
so yeah guys exercise is really really important yeah yeah to help yourself not just inside
248
but from outside also a lot of people that i know
249
that have struggled with confidence in the past it just fixes itself
250
and you start exercising and like sometimes it's a bit they get to an extreme level but still
251
if it's doing good for you then like why not it's not hurting anyone it's not hurting you yeah
252
and do it yeah i i think exercise really make me mentally released
253
and also physically become better so i think i'm more beautiful right now
254
and also because when you get sweaty
255
and then i feel like all the acne
256
or the bad energy you will you know It releases a lot of energy that's built up.
257
That's why I think it's important for me to exercise today too.
258
I'm feeling down and I'm feeling unmotivated and I just want to lay in bed and eat chocolate.
259
But I know that it's going to make me feel really good
260
if I just go to the gym for like 30 minutes just on the treadmill.
261
Exactly.
262
That's it.
263
Or sometimes even you don't feel like you want to go.
264
Put on your gym clothes.
265
Find a nice gym clothes, guys.
266
I think it's really important too.
267
Because I have, Gami always say, I have all the fancy gym clothes every day.
268
I have different gym clothes.
269
Yeah, because I like to go to the gym, look pretty as well.
270
I didn't know that.
271
Yeah, like, because you always look really cool when I see you boxing.
272
Yeah.
273
I didn't know you had different outfit for every day.
274
Yeah, every day.
275
I usually go in like the same outfit and sometimes I feel gross
276
because of that because it's like all sweaty
277
and it like I'm like just trying to get out of the gym
278
because I want to get home and shower and change yeah
279
but like you have to enjoy your time at the gym
280
exactly that's a really good tip that's why yeah just put on your very nice outfit for the gym
281
and look at the mirror honestly you'll be happy and yeah
282
and I just think I look good and I was in the gym interacting with people you know I'm showing my
283
I'm charismatic.
284
Your charisma.
285
My charisma.
286
Yeah, it's really good.
287
Yeah, so dressed up, I think is one of it.
288
And also taking shower to make you feel beautiful as well. That too.
289
Showers are so important.
290
I've really underestimated showers in the past.
291
I used to not shower very often.
292
I would just like wait.
293
I would just wait until I really had to shower.
294
Like when I was little, my parents had to force me to shower oh
295
because i already get i know i was my brother's the same way he's really dressed like me but like
296
don't spell his secret over here but
297
so now like it really does like sometimes i feel like
298
i need to earn a shower i need to go to the gym
299
so that i can then shower
300
but then i'm like no like i've been trying lately even
301
if i don't exercise that entire day i still try
302
and take a shower
303
because i'm like it makes me feel clean it makes me
304
feel confident yeah clean your hair looks better obviously otherwise your
305
hair is just like down like gross yes feel icky everywhere like
306
so yeah a shower really boosts your confidence i agree yeah
307
so we have some tips for you guys exercise dressed up
308
shower and what else effort into what you wear my question is okay My question is,
309
what is something that you find beautiful in other people?
310
Something that you see and right away you're like, that's beautiful, that's beauty to me.
311
Kindness.
312
When someone is kind, you think they're beautiful.
313
Kind.
314
It's always I see people.
315
Like from first beginning, if I think there are kind people, I feel like those are the people I want to hang out with.
316
That's why I see you um what i see in jason as well got me also antonio
317
and all my friends
318
because i think they're very kind all your friends are very kind oh my very admirable trait very true
319
because i kind of like selected in this way
320
because i feel like if you're not even kind to people you're not i don't think
321
if the people are not kind to others they're uh they're
322
also not kind to themselves you know yeah yeah they might
323
have some like dark energy yeah what's an example of someone not being kind
324
that you've met like where they're just like being rude to people like yeah rude um
325
so i really appreciate people have moral sense
326
and being helpful for example what i see for example where sitting at the restaurant
327
or people are coming to like a begging
328
or like trying to sell something i can see a lot
329
of times you're trying to help them to give them money
330
or buy something from them because it's kind of like help i think i really appreciate
331
that but a lot of people sometimes they just feel like oh they dressed up so dirty
332
while they come to my table they'll be like oh walk away off you know i really hate
333
that because sometimes people really need a little bit help and
334
if you just give them like 20 pesos
335
or 30 pesos you might really help them you know as
336
what i see in people i think this is really important thing
337
because honestly my mom taught me this one because
338
when i was younger when the china still have homeless we don't have it anymore
339
but before my mom always gave there's a guy who's playing the instrument on the bridge
340
and he's blind
341
so like my mom every time will go like to give
342
him some money yeah I always learn from like learn
343
that from my mom and even she saw like a old lady crossing the street
344
and she would try to hold her
345
and to ask her are you okay you want me to hold you
346
and then we can go together yeah that's what I learned from my family I really appreciate
347
that so I think that's a very very important trait for me to hang out with people like that.
348
Not being rude or like because you think you have money
349
or you're a cleaner so you think you're superior
350
and you just kind of like hate someone else or like look down someone else, you know.
351
Look down on them, yeah.
352
Yeah, I think for me also like I think kindness.
353
I've actually never really thought about it but the thing
354
that I consider like most beautiful in someone is maybe we're
355
gonna finish it there guys we already recorded a part two

この動画のスピーキング目標
日常的な不安や悩みを話すときの自然な英語表現を習得し、shadowing（シャドーイング）を通じて流暢さを向上させることが目標です。特に、自分の価値観や感情を率直に伝える表現を練習し、リアルな会話のリズムを掴むことが重要です。この動画は、shadowspeaksやシャドーイングサイトでの練習に最適な素材です。
フレーズバンク
- "I'm struggling with my confidence a little bit"（少し自信がない）
- "remind myself of that"（それを自分に思い出させる）
- "my value isn't in my appearance"（自分の価値は外見にあるわけではない）
- "the only thing that matters is your attitude"（重要なのは態度だけ）
- "feel bloated"（膨らんでいるように感じる）
これらのフレーズは、動画で英語学習する際に頻繁に使える実用的な表現です。会話の中で自然に組み込まれているので、シャドーイングで発音とリズムを覚えましょう。
弱点を直そう！
この動画の会話は、日常的なトーンで話されているため、英語の発音を良くするためのポイントがたくさんあります。特に、"I'm" "you're"などの短縮形の発音や、"struggling" "confidence"などの長い単語のアクセントが重要です。また、文の途中でのポーズやイントネーションも、自然な会話を表現するキーです。shadow speakの練習で、これらのポイントを注意深く観察し、真似してみてください。
動画を何度も繰り返し聴き、自分の声と比べてみることで、より自然な英語表現が身につきます。シャドーイングサイトを使って、一緒に話す練習を続ければ、確実にスピーキング力が向上します。

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
