I like how you got me saying,

yeah, but is she saying it right?

Yeah, yeah.

Is she saying it better than me?

Yes, baby.

No. Hello.

Welcome back, everyone, to the Olivia and Tai podcast,

to the power of love podcast we've read your comments um we've really loved interacting with you all

and seeing how you're all enjoying our podcast

so today we wanted to bring something

that i think you guys would really value

because you valued the last one that we made about confidence

and insecurities and we're talking about this today specifically

because i feel like we're both struggling well i'm struggling right

now with my confidence a little bit i do too i mean not specifically

but sometimes when i feel down i do feel i'm struggling

but when i was younger i struggled a lot yeah

so today we're going to talk about insecurities confidence

and how to overcome those insecurities especially based on your beauty

especially about your face your body appearance actually i think i'm struggling

because i was thinking about i wanted to go on a modeling cast since January

but because I wasn't confident with my body until now I'm still kind of waiting to get a perfect body

and to go on a modeling casting so I'm still not

that confident honestly and I'm struggling with my body I struggle wanted to get more muscles

and stuff yeah

so I wanted to talk about things about your appearance your

face how I actually see beauty in you you know yeah

it's true for example today I woke up with more acne than usual

and like just it's just really frustrating

because I'm doing all these things right I'm eating healthy I'm

exercising I'm going to the dermatologist I'm doing everything right I'm getting enough sleep I am

but it's like I still get acne and

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.

You, there's, there's nothing wrong with, um, any way that your body's functioning right now.

And you can, you have the energy to work.

You have the energy to go to the gym.

You have a voice.

You can breathe.

There's so many things that I can do that I need to be grateful for.

And so I just had to remind myself of that and

that like my value isn't in my appearance and my value is in myself.

It's in my attitude towards life

and it's in mostly I think my personality whenever I feel

insecure I really just think about what what I am like

what my personality is too whenever I was insecure maybe

when I was younger and I was going to a party

and I had acne or like I was feeling bloated

or I was feeling ugly I would always remember you know the only thing

that matters is your attitude if you feel confident then you look confident as well

and I think honestly the most attractive people are just

because they're confident yeah not because they look extremely beautiful you know it's

because they're really confident i've seen a lot of like reels

or like talking about girls are not like super skinny and

or like they're not fashionable but for example i would just sitting like this like this

and i don't feel confident you know

but i was changed change my posture like this you think

maybe i'll be more confident yeah it really makes a difference even though it maybe sounds stupid

but it really does like there are a ton of girls

that i've met um that maybe you wouldn't think they're conventionally attractive

but it's just like they would walk into a room

and just get all of the guy's attention

and like i'm not saying a guy's attention is the goal

but like it's it's because they're confident that they would get all the attention and like um

like it was different to other friends that i had

that were beautiful and like they just had zero confidence in themselves

and they thought very little of themselves and

so of course you're going to attract

that kind of person you're going to attract the person

that like thinks that about you that doesn't see your confidence

and doesn't see you for like your value for what you are yeah

so you're first like you come first

if you don't value yourself then nobody will

so like this morning i had to remind myself that

because i'm like

if i'm here feeling sorry for myself acting like i'm the victim saying oh i'm i look

so bad and whatever then of course other people are going to see me

that way but if I myself I'm like no I'm fine

if somebody wants to criticize me they will I'm confident myself then nobody can hurt me exactly

and like you went through lots of moments of insecurity

when you were younger too so like how did you get past

that like what were the things that you repeated in your mind to yourself

and what got you through those really hard times like when people would criticize your appearance so especially about the appearance,

honestly, right now I really do think I look good.

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,

very sharp jawline, very pointed out nose.

This is what people usually like.

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.

And also on my skin, on my chest, or on my back.

Even the time, my mom was telling me, don't show your chest, don't show your back.

Or even like some of your arms because you have

so much acne and people might feel gross because you show up that you know they will judge you.

I mean I know she wanted to protect me, she doesn't want me to feel judged but at

that time I will literally feel okay because I have acne so I'm gross.

So I'm the one being wrong.

I'm the one like being because I have alchemy that's why people don't like me,

that's why people don't think I'm beautiful and I was struggling that for a couple couple years

I was going to the doctor taking medicines it doesn't heal at all

and then yeah I just feel very depressed

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

FOR YOU

你能学到什么

这段对话能帮你提升两项关键口语技能：一是在日常交流中自然表达个人感受（如不安、感恩）的能力，这对雅思口语练习至关重要；二是学会用流畅的短句组织观点，像视频中那样通过具体事例（如长痘、模特面试焦虑）展开话题。这些技能能让你的英语口语练习更贴近真实场景。

注意这些发音现象

对话中存在不少连读和弱读现象，比如“got me saying”中“got”和“me”连读为/ɡɒt miː/，“is she saying it right”里“it”弱读为/ɪt/。此外，“I'm struggling”中的“'m”发音较轻，几乎与前面的“I”连读。这些细节是shadow speak练习的重点，能帮你掌握 native speaker 的说话节奏。

像母语者一样表达

模仿这段对话时，要注意重音和语调的变化。比如“my value isn't in my appearance”中，“value”和“appearance”需要重读，突出核心观点；“there's so many things that I can do”则用升调表达感慨。同时，学习说话者的停顿技巧，如在“okay, you're healthy”前稍作停顿，增强表达的层次感。通过shadowspeak练习，你能逐渐掌握这种自然的表达节奏，让口语更地道。

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构，并附上视频中的原话：

结构	视频中的用法
条件句 if + 从句，will/would + 动词 — 条件及其结果	if you don't value yourself then nobody will
“used to” used to + 动词 — 过去的习惯或状态，现在已不再如此	used to be · used to not
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事	we've read · i've seen · i've met

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
