If you’ve ever walked out of a meeting thinking, I wish I’d spoken up… this episode is for you.

I know what it’s like to have ideas, insights, and value to share—yet feel your heart race, your mind go blank, or your words get stuck when the moment comes.

I spent years in corporate boardrooms, from business school cold calls to high-stakes CEO reviews, battling the same fears. And I pushed through them the hard way—until I learned how to address the real root cause.

In this episode, I’ll share my own journey from a silent performer to a magnetic communicator—and walk you through my 3R Process to help you speak with power, not panic:

 ✨ Reset your nervous system so your body feels safe to be seen
✨ Rewire old survival strategies like overpreparing or staying small
✨ Reframe your mindset so speaking becomes connection, not performance

You’ll discover why public speaking anxiety isn’t about lacking skills—it’s about safety—and how small, doable steps can create the inner shift that changes everything.

By the end, you’ll know how to show up in any room feeling grounded, confident, and fully yourself… so you can share your voice, own your presence, and open doors you didn’t even know were there.

It’s time to stop hiding your brilliance. Let’s do this together.
