001. Busting Myths about the Fear of Speaking
There’s a lot of well-intentioned advice out there about the fear of speaking: “Feel the fear and do it anyway. Just do it, Ignore the fear, don’t let it hold you back.”
Explore the impact of limiting beliefs on speaking confidence and learn how to recognize them with today’s episode.
I discuss the concept of “Set Point” as described in The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, and the four types of limiting beliefs according to Hendricks: not being good enough, feeling like a burden, feeling it’s not safe to outshine others, and fearing disloyalty. I give examples of how these things can impact your speaking confidence.

Did you have an insight or question that came up while listening to an episode? I’d love to hear it. Leave a voice recording here and we may feature it on the show.
I love the idea of getting inside the fear to understand it and resolve it. What an opportunity!

I’m so glad it’s been helpful and excited to see where you go with it!
I just love Linda’s fresh take on fear and speaking. Under her tutelage, I found my voice and relaxed and even welcomed the video-making I used to dread. What excellent guidance she gives.
