HEY PSYCHOS
Hey psycho.
Ooh look who’s paying attention!
Get your speech going from the JUMP.
Say something wild.
Throw us a joke, a metaphor, a surprise.
I once started a wedding toast with: “Who’s hotter, the bride or the groom? It’s impossible to say, except it’s definitely Chelsea.”
And I opened my emcee act at a Bat Mitzvah by lamenting: “No one told me the Rabbi was a Ralph Lauren model!”
I guess I like making jokes about how hot people are.
Now that we’re with you, give us the goods.
Just please no “I am here to talk about…”
Skip skip skip the filler. Throw us right in.
Y’all are PSYCHOOOOs.
J/K you’re adorable.

Have Fun on TV
Cuties! I’m fun on TV. I’m fun on a podcast. A random person on Reddit called me “poised” after hearing me on the radio. I communicate well and I also feel loose. It’s possible for everyone!
Media appearances matter. And there is a lot of prep you can do to make you feel free on the day.
Check me out here on The Morning Show Australia. I hadn’t slept at all the night before (not my fault, wah). And yet, because of my background in improv, I stayed present and played the games the co-hosts were playing.
I answered the questions without resorting to anything scripted or memorized. I said what I felt like saying in that moment to those specific people.
I’m not saying this to show off! I’m saying: You too can rock a TV show, radio program, internet interview, podcast, or whatever other media outlet you may find yourself a guest on.
Hire me as your media trainer!
We can use practice questions, play with the dynamism of your voice, expand your physicality, and get you thinking-on-the-spot. I promise you can be great and have fun.
I also promise (like I always do) that using your instinct in the moment will always yield much more compelling results than an over-thought, overly crafted statement. Be here now applies to TV appearances too :).
Huge love! Have fun!
xoxo
