Description

Have you ever felt your body betray you when it’s time to speak in public ?
Your heart races. Your hands shake. Your mind goes blank.

That used to be me — every single time.

In this episode, I share how I used podcasting to face my fear of public speaking and how each rep behind the mic helped me find my voice again. From my first nervous recordings in a closet to lessons learned through hundreds of interviews, this one’s about courage, repetition, and learning to breathe through the fear.

You’ll learn:

  • How to reframe stage fright as energy, not failure

  • Why repetition builds rhythm and confidence

  • The power of hearing your own voice

  • Simple tools like box breathing and grounding to calm your nerves

  • Why courage is built in reps, not in perfection


Takeaway:
You don’t have to be fearless to be heard. Every time you face the mic, you shrink the fear.
