In this episode, I help leadership coach and podcaster Julie Neale work through the discomfort she feels on stage.

Though she’s right at home behind the microphone, being on stage stirs up something different. Julie may look confident, but inside, she’s anxious — silently struggling.

Together, we trace her nerves back to early experiences that shaped her identity, including a pivotal moment when her father, with the best intentions, publicly praised her in a way that became a role she felt expected to play — even at the expense of her own truth.

We also talk about how to feel more grounded, expand your stage presence, and create a sense of belonging in front of an audience.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, misrepresented, or not fully yourself in the spotlight, this conversation will speak to you.
