Does showing up on stage, on camera, or behind the mic make your heart race? You're not alone—and this episode is for you. Host Hayleigh Hayhurst sits down with Linda Ugelow, the brilliant mind behind Delight in the Limelight, to explore how to overcome the fear of being seen and heard.
Linda shares her powerful personal story of pushing past public speaking anxiety, unpacking childhood conditioning, and reclaiming her voice with confidence.
