Season 2, Episode 71: How to Deal with Presentation Nerves (feat. Gloria TP5)
Do you get butterflies in your stomach, sweaty palms, or a dry throat before a big presentation? You're not alone. In this essential episode, host Dark Cancer is joined by special guest Gloria Pickersgil (of the Grown Up Eruptions podcast) to provide a complete guide to coping with presentation nerves.
This is a masterclass in turning nervous energy into a powerful performance. The hosts argue that being nervous isn't a weakness; it's a natural response that can be channeled effectively. This episode is packed with practical tips, personal stories, and proven techniques to help you feel more confident and prepared.

- Physical Health: The importance of sleep, a healthy diet, and proper hydration before you present.
