In this third episode of our June series on Embodied Presence & Leadership, we’re talking about what it really takes for your voice to match your rising visibility.
Whether you’re leading at the senior level or growing your business as a founder, being seen in bigger rooms can stir up overfunctioning, overexplaining, or shrinking your message entirely—even when you know you’re qualified.
In this episode, I break down:
Why your nervous system reacts to visibility like it’s vulnerability
What to do when your body wants to perform instead of lead
5 simple, science-backed tools that help you feel anchored and in your voice when the pressure’s on
We’ll go beyond “just breathe” and into real tools—like cold wrist resets, vagus nerve humming, and the back-body presence shift that changes the way you speak in high-stakes moments.
You’ll leave with practical, soulful strategies that help you stop proving and start owning the moment.
Reflection prompt:
Where in your body do you feel the pressure to perform—and what would it feel like to just be?
Sow to Soul:
You don’t need to prove you belong in the spotlight—you just need to stay connected to the part of you that knows you already do.
