How To Be a Great Guest
I am teaching an hour-long workshop with Wonderfish and James Colistra titled: “Drop the Script: How to Build Authority By Speaking Like Yourself.” March 12, 2026, 2pm Eastern.
We’ll practice keeping your voice dynamic and compelling; create a pre-show ritual that will get you calm and ready; do improv exercises to keep you fun and ready to be present; hone in on your story— what are you sharing on the podcast and how can you tell it with heart?
That’s a lot of ground to cover but that’s how I roll.
Come learn. Come play. It will be fun and transformational.

A GREAT Podcast
I was on The Sean Trace Show! I loved it. He asked grrreat questions about public speaking coaching and what makes a charismatic communicator (hint: be real).
Let your true passion for what you talk about guide you. It’s important to do external work to add dynamism and clarity to your natural voice, in a way that is true to you…
But then let’s realllly get at who you are and what you care about. Throw in some self love and the authentic you will tumble right out of your mouth. It workssss.

Imperfection wins
Last night I went to a storytelling show.
The participants were all pretty good. Rehearsed.
But.
Every single person had memorized a script, to the word.
It made me feel tight!
Figure out the beats. Plan out some jokes. But please tell the story like you would at brunch.
Because I want you, baby! Human you, not robot you. Actual person you. That may feel scary, and that’s actually a good sign. What you’re scared of is someone learning who you are and seeing the real you. And if you show me that… I am in for life.
True of storytelling, true on a date, true in a VC pitch.
Let’s be real.
