If picking up the phone makes you feel anxious, sweaty, or full of self-doubt, you’re not the only one. We’re diving into what cold calling really feels like, why so many of us avoid it, and how to rewire your mindset so it actually becomes one of your most powerful growth tools.

We get real about the fear of rejection, the pressure to sound “perfect,” and the impostor syndrome that creeps in when you’re trying something that pushes you out of your comfort zone. These fears often stem from old stories we tell ourselves, like not being good enough or not knowing what to say, but it is possible to flip the script.

You’ll hear a personal story about how a simple, casual conversation turned into a major opportunity—no sales pitch, no pressure, just a genuine chat. That’s the magic of connection. Cold calling doesn’t have to be awkward or scripted. When you focus on building relationships and stay open to the process, the results follow.

We also touch on the physical side of fear—racing heart, shaky hands, overthinking—and give you practical ways to manage it so you can build momentum, confidence, and consistency.

This episode is your reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to start. You just have to start. The more you show up, the easier it gets—and the more wins you’ll create along the way.

“Cold calling felt scary, intimidating, and absolutely exhausting. Maybe you can relate to that. I would get all sweaty in my hands or under my armpits, my voice would be shaky, and I'd find myself talking fast or stumbling over my words.”

- Kylie Walker
