S3E15 From Page to Stage: Finding Your Voice (Even If You’re Scared Sh*tless)
Manage episode 489812539 series 3475221
Welcome back to HER Truth Revealed: Unraveling Our Midlife Era—where we ditch the masks, embrace the mess, and remember who the hell we are.
This one is for the woman who has something to say—but can’t seem to get the words out.
I sat down with the bold and brilliant Wendy Corner—speech coach, former speech pathologist, TEDx speaker trainer, and globe-trotting entrepreneur. Wendy doesn’t just teach visibility—she embodies it.
But her story didn’t start with confidence.
It started with silence.
As a two-year-old separated from her mother in a hospital, Wendy internalized a core belief: “My voice doesn’t matter.”
Decades later, she turned that wound into wisdom—and built a life and business helping others unearth their voice.
This episode is part truth bomb, part storytelling masterclass, and 100% midlife permission slip.
In this episode, we talk about:
- How childhood wounds shape our fear of visibility (yes, even if you’re successful now)
- Why your desire to speak is often blocked by a script you didn’t write
- The real reason most entrepreneurs say they want to speak—but never do it
- From speech pathology to TEDx speaker coach: Wendy’s path to helping others own the mic
- What she means by “from page to stage”—and why your story must be spoken, not just written
- The difference between being seen and being truly heard
- Why confidence doesn’t come before the stage—it comes on it
- How to shut down your “itty bitty shitty committee” and flip the script
Whether you've been secretly dreaming of standing on a TEDx stage or simply want to stop panicking before a team presentation, this episode is your gentle (but firm) nudge.
Because speaking your truth? It’s not just brave—it’s necessary.
When I asked Wendy what she’d say to her 25-year-old self, her response was clear:
“Open your mind to what’s possible. If you stay in the familiar zone, you’ll always do what you’ve always done.”
Let that land.
