Did you know that public speaking anxiety is the number one fear that people have? For most of us, we expect the butterflies and know we can work through them. For others, like I was five years ago, panic can take over, and the fear starts to run the show.

Bayley Levy (@itsbayleysworld) invited me on her podcast to talk about the origins of public speaking, why it’s so challenging, and what we can do to manage those fears.

In this episode, we specifically cover…

  • My personal struggle with public speaking

  • Fearing the fear itself — and what we can do about it

  • The importance of building the skill of detachment

  • Why positive visualization is so effective
