Hey, y’all! Today, I’m sharing something really personal that shaped my journey in ways I never expected—overcoming my fear of public speaking. If you’re someone who’s ever felt held back by the thought of speaking up or standing in front of a crowd, this one’s for you. In this episode, I speak about how this fear kept me from growth opportunities, limited my self-confidence, and, honestly, stopped me from showing up as the real me. I hope that by hearing my story, you’ll feel inspired to face whatever fear might be holding you back, too.

Starting with high school speech class, I learned pretty early that I struggled with speaking in front of people. Even into college, I found ways to avoid it—enrolling in smaller classes, trying to dodge presentations, and finally just not showing up. My nerves were so bad I’d blank out, and I thought I’d never get past it. Years later, after a big life change, I decided I had to work through this for myself and for anyone else who might feel like I did. That’s when I found a coach to help me, and it was a game-changer.

Pushing through that fear didn’t just help me with public speaking—it unlocked parts of myself I hadn’t been able to share. I finally started connecting with my audience, sharing my face and voice on social media, working with brands, and speaking at events. That confidence was already inside me, and sometimes we just need a little help to uncover it. I hope my journey shows you that facing our fears opens doors to incredible opportunities and helps us grow in ways we never expect. Give it a listen, and I hope it sparks something for you!
