The Overthinker

When it’s time to speak, your mind takes the driver’s seat - racing ahead, second-guessing, or looping through what might go wrong. That mental noise drowns out your natural presence, leaving you breathless or rushing your words. This isn’t about “fixing” you. It’s about helping your nervous system slow down enough so your body can catch up with your brain. With simple, embodied practices, you’ll learn to steady your breath, calm the overthinking, and let your true voice come through with clarity and confidence.Tip: Before you speak, take a deep breath and exhale all the way out (with force) - then let the inhale come naturally. This calms racing thoughts and drops you back into your body so your words flow with clarity.✨ Wherever you land, the next step is practice - to mindfully push those edges and get out there!Join us at the Speak From The Center - An Embodied Confidence Workshop - Coming up November 14th at 9:00 AM Pacific Time on Zoom. 4 hrs of practice, connection, and tips//tricks to rock stages, networking meetings or... the conversations in your own living room.

The Shapeshifter

You’re adaptable - maybe too adaptable. You sense the room, adjust your tone, and do whatever it takes to avoid judgment or conflict. But in the process, your own voice can get watered down, and you leave feeling drained or unsatisfied. The work here is about rooting into your center so you don’t have to bend yourself to belong. When you anchor in your body, you stop giving away your power and start speaking from a place of authenticity. You’ll discover that your unique presence is magnetic - not because you’re performing, but because you’re showing up as you.Tip: Before entering a room or conversation, silently name one value or truth you’re committed to holding. This anchors you in yourself so you don’t lose your voice adapting to everyone else.✨ Wherever you land, the next step is practice - to mindfully push those edges and get out there!Join us at the Speak From The Center - An Embodied Confidence Workshop - Coming up November 14th at 9:00 AM Pacific Time on Zoom. 4 hrs of practice, connection, and tips//tricks to rock stages, networking meetings or... the conversations in your own living room.

The Centered Speaker

Wow!You’ve already built a strong foundation of presence - you breathe, you ground, you trust yourself. The next layer of your growth isn’t about technique, it’s about capacity. When the stakes get higher - bigger audiences, more eyes on you, deeper vulnerability in your message - your nervous system may still whisper: Is it safe to be seen this fully? Our work together is about expanding that capacity. Supporting you to anchor even more deeply into your center, so you feel steady enough to take bigger risks, share bolder truths, and show up in ways that reflect your full power - whether that’s in a networking event, a team meeting, or standing on a stage.Tip: Challenge yourself to pause for a full breath after making a key point. That moment of space expands your capacity, keeps you grounded, and lets your message sink in more deeply. Smile or nod. Wait. Breathe. Let it land.✨ Wherever you land, the next step is practice - to mindfully push those edges and get out there!Join us at the Speak From The Center - An Embodied Confidence Workshop - Coming up November 14th at 9:00 AM Pacific Time on Zoom. 4 hrs of practice, connection, and tips//tricks to rock stages, networking meetings or... the conversations in your own living room.

The Scattered but Passionate Speaker

You’ve got the passion and the ideas - but when the spotlight’s on, anxiety or lack of preparation can scatter your focus. Maybe you plan to “wing it” and then realize you left out big chunks of what you wanted to say. Or you get caught in the moment and run out of time before your main point lands. This doesn’t mean you’re bad at speaking - it means your nervous system craves both grounding and structure. With embodied practices, you can steady your presence, and with simple frameworks, you can deliver your message in a way that’s both authentic and clear. That’s where your brilliance shines: not in trying to be perfect, but in being prepared enough to stay connected and confident.Tip: Give yourself a simple 3-point outline - just three words on a notecard or in your mind. When nerves rise, come back to those words. Structure helps your brilliance land without dimming your spontaneity. Practice it even if parts of you are cringing. You know your stuff! You just need some guard rails.✨ Wherever you landed, the next step is practice - to mindfully push those edges and get out there!Join us at the Speak From The Center - An Embodied Confidence Workshop - Coming up November 14th at 9:00 AM Pacific Time on Zoom. 4 hrs of practice, connection, and tips//tricks to rock stages, networking meetings or... the conversations in your own living room.
