Manage episode 497395980 series 3551517
Stacy Simon shares her journey from being paralyzed by speaking anxiety to becoming a confident trainer with the US Air Force. Her transformation highlights how spiritual practices like mantras can address deeper issues than traditional public speaking training, helping her integrate her interest in holistic therapies with her military career.
• Stacy struggled with speaking anxiety since childhood, avoiding situations that required visibility
• Traditional speaking training like Toastmasters didn't resolve her issues including voice shakiness and anxiety
• Initially kept her interest in holistic therapies separate from her military career due to fear of rejection
• Successfully introduced breathwork to colleagues, finding acceptance for her authentic self
• Created new opportunities for herself at work, including becoming head trainer and making training videos
• Now finds the most fulfillment in the very activities that once terrified her
