What if I told you that even legendary actresses, women who've been honored by the Queen, won Oscars, and are considered living legends, still talk about fear as a constant companion?

In 2018, a documentary called "Nothing Like a Dame," featuring Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, Dame Eileen Atkins, and Dame Joan Plowright, revealed something profound: even the most accomplished performers in the world still grapple with fear, insecurity, and limiting beliefs.

Today, I'm sharing what this film and these legendary women have to teach us about transforming fear into power and claiming the stages you're meant for.

In this episode, we’ll explore:

Why fear doesn't disappear when you become successful, and why that's actually a good thing
How these women's experiences relate to public speaking and leadership
The difference between those who let fear stop them and those who transform fear into fuel
Why there's no mold for what a speaker should be and how you can use your voice powerfully, not despite your imperfections, but because of your humanity
