Are you ready to step into the limelight and conquer your fear of speaking? Join me, as I delve into an engaging conversation with Linda Ugelow, a speaking confidence coach, International and Virtual Speaker, Podcast Host, and Author of “Delight In The Limelight,” who shares invaluable insights on how to get comfy on camera and overcome anxiety when putting yourself out there.

Unveiling the Inner Journey

Have you ever wondered what lies behind the anxiety of speaking or putting yourself out there? Linda takes us on an insightful journey of inner discovery, helping us understand the root causes of our fears. Through her three pillars of the Inner Freedom Framework, she guides us from fear to delight.

Linda’s Inner Freedom Framework empowers us to break free from the shackles of fear and step into our authentic selves. By identifying and addressing the underlying anxieties, we can cultivate confidence and embrace the camera with ease.

  • Pillar 1: Reveal & Heal

The first pillar, “Reveal & Heal,” guides us to identify and address the experiences and messages from our past that have created the belief that it wasn’t safe to be seen and heard. Linda encourages us to delve into our personal history and uncover the roots of our fears and insecurities. By bringing these hidden beliefs to light, we can begin the healing process.

By clearing away these limiting beliefs and old wounds, we create space for growth, empowerment, and a renewed sense of safety in embracing and sharing our authentic voice.

  • Pillar 2: Restore Safety

The second pillar, “Restore Safety,” focuses on transforming our negative inner dialogue and creating a supportive internal environment. Linda emphasizes the importance of aligning our thoughts and beliefs to uplift and empower ourselves from within. By nurturing a positive and compassionate inner dialogue, we can restore a sense of safety and self-acceptance.

Through affirmations, mindfulness practices, and self-care, we can replace self-criticism and self-doubt with self-compassion and self-belief. This pillar helps us develop a resilient mindset that supports us in facing challenges and stepping into our speaking potential with confidence.

  • Pillar 3: Repattern Your Habits

The third pillar, “Repattern Your Habits,” encourages us to replace patterns of tension and anxiety with holistic confidence and ease in our thinking, body, emotions, and spirit. Linda highlights the importance of integrating new habits and practices that support our growth and well-being.

This pillar empowers us to cultivate a sense of wholeness and confidence, enabling us to speak and express ourselves authentically.
