You know that feeling when you want to say something that matters to you. You rehearse it in your head, but when it comes time to say it, things don't come out the way you imagined.

It could be:

  •  A sales conversation with a potential client 
  •  An event you're hosting and presenting in front of people 
  •  Or simply an important conversation where you need to speak up for yourself and what you believe in 

You get so nervous that you don't even recognize yourself afterward.

You replay the conversation in your head, feeling embarrassed and thinking about how you could have said it better.

You shame yourself, wondering, "Why can't I say this the way I wanted to?"

The truth is, when something matters to us emotionally, we become activated.

Our nervous system goes into alert mode.

And in that state, several things happen in the body that can affect our ability to think clearly and express ourselves effectively.

In this episode, we talk about:

  •  What happens to us on a physiological level in these moments 
  •  Why it happens 
  •  How to stay clear under pressure so you can express yourself with confidence instead of sounding like someone you don't recognize 

Enjoy.
