From “Too Shy to Speak” to Top 1% Podcaster with Teri Holland (#31)
Description
Do you ever hold yourself back because you’re afraid to speak up — or worried what people will think?
Today’s guest, Teri Holland, knows that fear well. Once nicknamed “Mouse” for how quiet she was as a child, Teri has transformed into a confident speaker, coach, and top 1% podcaster.
We trace her journey from a shy little girl whispering to her parents, to a coach who has given a TEDx talk and helps others use their voices with courage and confidence.
Teri shares:
- How a single solo line in a Christmas concert changed everything
- What acting taught her about safety, scripts, and control and how she learned to be confident without them
- How burnout and illness led her to the world of NLP, hypnotherapy, and timeline therapy
- The story behind starting her podcast, Success in Mind — and what happened when imposter syndrome shut it down at its peak
- What it really takes to build confidence and transform self-doubt
- How courage and confidence are skills we can all practice and grow
🎧 This conversation will remind you that courage and confidence aren’t fixed traits, they’re muscles we can build. Teri proves that success isn’t about perfection—it’s about a fulfilling life fueled by growth, grit and courage.
