    • 58. The Hidden Costs of Public Speaking Pt. 1: The Outfits

      On top of thinking ( & maybe overthinking) our message and attempting to ease the public speaking nerves, there are so many other factors to consider in our journey.

      Over the course of the next couple of weeks, we'll be exploring "hidden costs". Up first, the outfits. When I started my public speaking journey, all of my outfits were thrifted. I share a part of my story and point you to resources for getting outfits that make you feel confident on stage, as well as where you can donate clothes.
