  • Summary

  • In this video, I explain how to calm your amygdala to manage anxiety, reduce nervousness, and achieve smoother, clearer speech. Learn two essential techniques: deep breathing and full-body relaxation to help you manage your brain’s stress response. These strategies can help prevent anxiety from taking over, allowing your prefrontal cortex and Broca’s area to work together for smooth, confident speech.
