info_outlineAre you interested in self-confidence? Have you been worried about meeting your goals? Today, we’re digging into our self-confidence and our limitations. In this episode, I talk with Alexandra Dotcheva, DMA, RN. She was born and raised in a musicians’ family in Bulgaria, and she came to the US in 2000 after earning a bachelor’s degree in Music from the National Academy of Music in Sofia, and she earned a Doctor of Musical Arts in Violin Performance from Louisiana State University in 2007. She has been practicing as a registered nurse since 2011, with a strong passion for educating patients on attaining optimal health. Her mission is to help people overcome self-imposed limitations that prevent many from realizing their goals, finding peace of mind, and acquiring prosperity. By sharing her own journey to achieving control over the most important aspects of life, Alexandra’s goal is to inspire others to turn away from various forms of fear and self-doubt and go after their dreams instead of leading lives subdued to conventional ways of thinking that have long been proven outdated, inadequate, and damaging to a person’s self-esteem and self-confidence.

Questions I asked:
- How did you get started on your journey?
- What is your pull-up workout?
- What is a typical workout for you?
- What is your reasoning behind fitness and your chosen workouts?
- Why is our health in our own hands?
- Can you tell us how you became so independent?
- What are the primary takeaways on building self-confidence?
- How can the audience tune in themselves to build confidence?
- What are some ways to find supportive people around you?
- How do we overcome fear and limitations?
- What tips do you have for people who are afraid of investing?
- How can people reach you online?
Topics Discussed:
- Follow your dreams.

- Self-Esteem.

- Rethink limitations.
