Description:

Ever wonder why you can understand English perfectly but freeze the moment you need to speak?

In this episode, I dive deep into the fascinating neuroscience behind language anxiety and reveal the simple 3-second technique that changed everything for me during my time at a multinational company.

🧠 What you'll discover:

  • Why your brain's cognitive load increases 340% when speaking a second language (UCLA research)
  • The neurological battle between your amygdala and prefrontal cortex
  • How strategic pausing rewires your brain's response to English conversations
  • My personal transformation story from freezing in meetings to confidently presenting to 500 people worldwide

🎯 The 3-Second Rule:A scientifically-backed technique that activates your brain's control center and deactivates panic responses - transforming your English speaking confidence in days, not years.
