Does public speaking anxiety stop you from saying “yes” to opportunities to share your voice?

As therapy group practice owners, many of us find ourselves being pulled toward leadership beyond the therapy room—whether that’s hosting retreats, teaching workshops, speaking at conferences, or simply leading internal trainings with more presence and ease.

But here’s the thing: public speaking anxiety is very real—and faking it till you make it doesn’t always work.

In this episode, I’m joined by vocal and speaking confidence coach Linda Ugelow to dig into how to overcome fear of public speaking—not by pushing through it, but by healing what’s underneath it. Because visibility isn’t just about you—it’s about the mission and message of your therapy group practice reaching the people who need it most.

Here’s what we’re covering:

Why public speaking anxiety affects so many practice owners—even those used to talking all day in session
The real reason “just practicing more” doesn’t solve it (and what to do instead)
Grounded, practical public speaking anxiety tricks that actually work—like EFT, visualization, and body-based rituals
How unresolved stories and inner critics fuel the public speaking anxiety—and how to rewire those beliefs
Why public speaking is a powerful growth lever for your therapy group practice—and how to say yes to the mic with less dread

If you’ve ever thought, “I should be doing more speaking, but I can’t get past the public speaking anxiety,” this one’s for you.
