The exact text, line breaks and all
Four months ago I was scared to death to press record. I'd find any small, unimportant task that kept me from being seen and from speaking up. I stopped waiting to feel ready. I pressed record while I was still scared, again and again, and every time I showed up, the fear had a little less say. Then Eric said something I can't unhear: we don't have the right to keep our voice and our message to ourselves because of fear. Instead of hiding, I go after the stage. I taught my AI to find every speaking event near me for the coming year, to offer webinars where it's too far to travel, and to pitch me to clients and stages. I haven't given a big talk yet, but I know 100% that I can. It's only a matter of time before I'm on my first big stage, more comfortable than ever.
