Tara Howley and Janine Parziale dive into stage fright and performance anxiety. Drawing from personal experience and professional expertise, they share how to work with fear rather than fight it—transforming it into a source of energy, presence, and even joy.
They discuss:
- Understanding the physiology and psychology of stage fright
- How to reframe fear as excitement and use it as fuel
- Body-based techniques for releasing freeze and nervous system overwhelm
- Practical preparation strategies—from nutrition to exercise to mindset
- The role of shame, self-consciousness, and compassion in performance anxiety
- Embracing mistakes and turning them into moments of connection and magic
- Why stage fright can be a gift and how to welcome it

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
