Ep 198 Got Anxiety Over Speaking? Do This! Featuring Judy Grupenhoff

Public speaking, speaking up, being singled out...all of these activities can lead to serious fear and anxiety. In fact, you may feel so much fear and anxiety about them that all of your life decisions are made in an effort to avoid them. If this is you, you are going to love today's episode. My guest today is Judy Grupenhoff, MEd, NBC-HWC. She is an Integrative Wellness Coach, HeartMath® Certified Trainer and Interventions Professional.
