Let’s be real—public speaking sounds glamorous… until your stomach flips, your palms sweat, and your brain forgets how words work.

If you’ve ever wanted to run for the exit (or the nearest trash can) right before giving a talk, same. I’ve been there—once with 3,000 eyes on me and no potato chip bag in sight.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what really causes that “I might throw up” feeling—and what to do instead so you can step on stage without spiraling.

💥 Inside this episode, we’ll cover:

  • The myth of “calming down” (and what to do with that nervous energy instead)
  • Why memorizing every word of your talk is setting you up to blank
  • What to focus on instead of perfection
  • The lie that keeps us from taking action
  • And the #1 reason your nervous in the first place

Whether you’re speaking to 3 or 3,000, this is your playbook for managing the nerves, staying grounded, and delivering a talk you’re proud of—even if your voice shakes a little.
