Hola everybody! Have you ever tried to hold back tears while speaking? How do you think it impacted your delivery?

I was thinking about the last time I cried and realized it was while I was on stage, sharing a story publicly for the first time. I remember feeling overwhelmed by the emotion, a little embarrassed to be crying, but also in a safe space to let it out.

As a public speaking consultant, one of the most common questions I get is: How do I stop myself from crying on stage? In this episode, I’ll share a story from an 8th-grade trip that transformed my relationship with crying. I’ll also talk about how to “practice” the emotion and study yourself as a speaker, plus some fun facts about crying to help normalize it as what it really is: a beautiful emotion.
