Conquer Your Battlefield Podcast Ep:3 – Interview with Matty J Moose | Looking at Confidence
In 2024, we are excited to reserve a segment of our blog space every month to spotlight the work of our esteemed Brave Alumni. You may have already enjoyed familiar stories that were once showcased on the Brave stage. This time, we shine a spotlight on the noteworthy endeavors of another distinguished Brave alum, JD McGibney. JD, a skilled musician, made his debut on the Brave stage during our 2022 LA Show. Beyond his musical talents, he is also a dedicated podcaster who centers his discussions on mental health and wellbeing. We invite you to immerse yourself in today’s featured episode. And if you like what you hear today, please watch for more content from JD in the upcoming months!
Welcome to the “Conquer Your Battlefield” podcast, where we come together to discuss some of the more significant struggles, and metaphorical battlefields, that we’ve faced along our journeys, and share some insight on how we’ve conquered them.
I’m JD McGibney, guitarist of the band Angels on the Battlefield, and in this episode I chat with the mighty, the moosey, the hilarious, funny, and endlessly loving Matty J. Moose of Psychostick!
Today we are going to be talking about “Confidence.” This term is thrown out a lot in regards to encouraging people to take action where they might feel hesitation. As adults, it almost feels as though confidence is something we should all be carrying in our back pocket and take out when we need it. When talking about teens and younger people, we tend to use the term “Self-Esteem.”
There is a lot of talk about self-esteem in schools to try and deter kids from bullying one another, teach kids to stand up for themselves, be creative, try new things, and overall just believe in themselves. From my own personal experience, confidence and self-esteem have been things that I have struggled with for as long as I can remember. Looking at some statistics from the Self-Esteem School, 85% of the world’s population struggle with self-esteem issues in some way.
Our self-esteem and confidence levels can be affected by a number of factors ranging from internal to external. Whether we are struggling with anxiety, or depression, or we happen to be in an environment that is not supportive of us at home, our social group, or even our work place.
