Join Pete on the Aussie English podcast, and today, we dive into the popular English expression: “sell yourself short.” It’s when you don’t see how awesome you are and underestimate what you can do.

Pete walks you through situations where we might do this unconsciously. Like skipping a game because we doubt our skills, saying no to a job bump ’cause we lack confidence, or holding back on dating ’cause we don’t think we’re good enough.

Ever wondered where this phrase came from? Pete spills the beans—it’s tied to selling stocks short in finance. And hey, ever noticed how the “L” in “sell” changes its sound? Pete breaks it down for you, easy peasy.

Oh, and Pete’s got a cool bit from “Glitch” for a listening game. You’ll jot down what you hear—it’s fun, promise!

Listen in today and unpack what “sell yourself short” really means. Let’s chat about it like mates, learn some lingo, and see how it fits into our lives.
