Ever notice how the second a camera turns on, you turn into a slightly robotic, over-performed version of yourself?
You're not broken, you're just human, and this week's guest has spent her career helping people work on exactly that.
I'm joined by Helen von Dadelszen, communication and vocal coach, speaker and author of Courageous Action, to talk about something that's been all over my feed lately: AI slop, sounding the same online, and what it actually takes to bring the human back into your content. We get into stage fright, why polish isn't the goal, and the practical tools Helen uses to help brilliant people communicate like themselves.

KEY EPISODE TAKEAWAYS 👇
✨ AI isn't something to fear, but outsourcing your voice or your face to it comes at a cost, people can tell when something doesn't quite match up once they meet the real you
✨ Confidence isn't something you wait for, it's built through courageous action, doing the thing while nervous, then collecting evidence that you can
✨ Your audience doesn't want polished, they want human. Filler words, stumbles and imperfections build trust, not distrust
✨ Before you communicate anything, get clear on who you're speaking to and what you want them to think, feel or do by the end
✨ Breath, body and mindset are all trainable. Small, practical tools (box breathing, an open stance, watching yourself on mute) can regulate your nervous system before you hit record
