Speaking with Confidence

Public speaking can feel daunting, but confidence isn’t about eliminating fear—it’s about learning to move through it. In this episode of Breathe and Lead, we explore the science behind fear, why your brain reacts to public speaking as a "threat," and how you can retrain your nervous system to step into confidence.

Through diaphragmatic breathing, visualization, and affirmations, you’ll learn to calm your body, steady your mind, and own the room with presence and power. Whether you're preparing for a presentation, a meeting, or simply expressing yourself more authentically, this practice will help you turn nervous energy into strength.

🔹 What’s Inside:

• Why public speaking triggers the fight-or-flight response
• Breathwork to calm the nervous system
• A guided visualization to embody confidence
• Affirmations to anchor self-trust and presence

Your voice is powerful, and the world needs to hear it. Take a deep breath, press play, and step into confidence.
