Ready to stop beating yourself up and start supporting yourself as a speaker?
In this heartfelt episode I sit down with psychologist, wellbeing expert, and author Dr. Hayley Quinn to explore what it really means to become a self-compassionate speaker.
From pre-speech nerves to post-presentation self-criticism, this conversation dives into the emotional reality of public speaking — and how to navigate it with more kindness, regulation, and self-trust.
Dr. Haley shares practical tools for calming the nervous system, reframing anxiety, softening the inner critic, and developing a compassionate inner voice that supports rather than sabotages.
We Explore:
The difference between self-compassion, self-care, and self-love
How anxiety and excitement can feel almost identical in the body
The “threat system” and why speakers often go into overdrive
How to develop a kinder inner voice
Why there is no “one right way” to prepare for speaking
