Performance anxiety isn’t a flaw—it’s your nervous system trying to protect you. In this episode, we explore how to calm performance anxiety by creating safety in your body and restoring nervous system homeostasis, so you can show up with clarity, presence, and confidence in high-pressure speaking moments. You’ll learn practical strategies to regulate your nervous system, shift stress responses, and ride the wave of nervous energy instead of getting swept away by it.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understand your nervous system: Learn how performance anxiety is a physiological response, not a personal weakness.
  • Restore homeostasis: Simple techniques to bring your body back to balance before and during speaking moments.
