69 | How to speak to yourself kindly during moments of uncertainty and fear Mar 25, 2020

Show notes

In light of the difficult global circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 crisis, I wanted to share an episode on how to speak to yourself kindly during moments of uncertainty and fear.

If you're looking to give back or do a kind deed to help those who are impacted by COVID-19, please consider making a donation to Food on Foot, a local Los Angeles non-profit that helps provide housing and employment to the homeless population of Los Angeles. Many of those who were previously homeless have lost their jobs and are at high risk of becoming homeless again. These dollars can literally help change the trajectory of someone's life with just the click of a 'donate' button:

Please take extra good care of yourself during this time

67 | The moment of dread before you introduce yourself to the room: a story of struggle (season 3 finale) Feb 23, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to the final episode of Season 3! If you have struggled with fear, dread, or anxiety at the thought of confidently speaking up and introducing yourself to a room full of colleagues, then today’s episode is for you.

Today I am reading a personal essay that I wrote about my fear of introducing myself to large groups of people. I am writing about my own experience in the hopes that my story can be used as a vehicle to help you find self-love in spite of your fear, and eventually find the courage to make peace with your fear and speak up boldly in any situation.

This episode was a vulnerable share for me, so if you enjoyed it, it would mean so much to me if you could share your feedback in Apple Podcasts.

I’d love to hear from you also – so please send me a DM on Instagram at @theartofspeakingup

If you’re looking for community, be sure to join the facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theartofspeakingup/

I hope you’re having a fabulous week. And if you ever feel afraid to introduce yourself to a large group of people, please remember that your levels of courage are only limited by the decisions that you are willing to make, moment to moment to moment.

Be patient, because change takes time, but also be willing to believe in change and bet on yourself.

All my love,

Jess
