Fuel Your Confidence

Season 2… What a journey!

Thank you for listening, sharing, reflecting, and coming along for the ride through every episode. It truly means the world.

I’ve loved every message I have received and every moment we’ve created together.

Get ready - Season 3 is coming, and I can’t wait to bring it to you.

There’s a fear that quietly shapes so many of our decisions… and most of us don’t even realise how much power it has.The fear of judgment.In this episode, I unpack why this fear shows up so strongly, especially when you’re about to put yourself out there - whether that’s speaking, presenting, posting, or stepping into something new.I share what used to happen to me backstage before comedy shows, the exact voice that would kick in right before I walked on, and why that voice feels so real, logical, and convincing in the moment.We explore:Why fear of judgment pulls you out of the present momentHow it creates a split between performing and self-critiqueWhy most people aren’t thinking about you nearly as much as you thinkWhat fear is actually trying to protect you fromHow to acknowledge the voice without letting it control youIf you’ve ever held yourself back, filtered your expression, or waited until you felt “ready”… this episode will shift how you see that voice in your head.Because the goal isn’t to eliminate fear. It’s to stop believing everything it tells you.

What if confidence didn’t just come from your posture, your voice, or your mindset… but was also influenced by the language you use every day?

In this episode, I explore how the words you choose — often without even realising — can shape how you think, how you show up, and how others experience you.

From subtle softeners like “just” and “I think” to over-explaining and unnecessary apologies, these small habits can quietly and quickly dilute your message.

Drawing on lessons from stand-up comedy, keynote speaking, and years of working with professionals, I share how refining your language can help you communicate more clearly and feel more grounded in what you’re saying.

You’ll walk away with practical shifts you can experiment with immediately to sound more certain, more present, and more impactful.

One of the biggest breakthroughs in public speaking has nothing to do with posture, vocal tone, or even your slides. It happens before you ever step onto the stage.

In this episode, Jordana explores the powerful mindset shift that separates confident speakers from nervous ones: moving your focus away from yourself and toward the audience. When speakers stay trapped in self-judgment -Do I look nervous? Will they like me? What if I forget my lines? - their fear only grows louder.

Drawing on her early experiences in stand-up comedy, Jordana shares how learning to redirect attention toward the audience’s needs, challenges, and experience transforms both performance and confidence. When your purpose becomes creating value, laughter, insight, or impact, fear naturally shrinks.

This episode unpacks why speaking is never really about you -and why shifting the spotlight from self-consciousness to audience curiosity is one of the fastest ways to calm nerves, expand presence, and create powerful connection.

What can a brutal comedy club teach you that a polished corporate stage never could?

In this solo episode, I share the real lessons stand-up comedy gave me. Stand-up was my emotional bootcamp. It taught me how to read a room before anyone said a word. It forced me to adapt in real time when a joke fell flat. It exposed my insecurities under a spotlight - and built the resilience to keep going anyway.

In comedy, there’s no polite applause. You either connect… or you don’t. The highs are electric. The lows are humbling. And navigating both rewired how I show up in every corporate room today.

In this episode, we explore:

1. Why comedy sharpened my ability to read energy and body language
2. How bombing built resilience I now rely on as a keynote speaker
3. The skill of adapting in real time (and why leaders need it)
4. What shared laughter teaches us about influence and human connection

There’s a moment every speaker and leader secretly fears: the question you don’t know how to answer.

Early in my keynote career, I was delivering a talk on managing Millennials when an audience member asked something completely outside my expertise. I knew it wasn’t my lane - but instead of admitting that, I felt pressure to be “the expert". One of my agents was in the room, and I convinced myself I needed to have the answer.

So I spoke... And halfway through, I knew it wasn’t right.

In this episode, I share that uncomfortable moment and the powerful lesson it taught me about ego, authority, and true confidence. In this episode I explore why pretending erodes trust, why “I don’t know” actually strengthens your credibility, and how to handle tough questions on stage or in leadership without losing composure.

Because real confidence isn’t about knowing everything.

It’s about being honest when you don’t.

What happens when your confidence slips in real time?

In this solo episode, I share a powerful on-stage moment when a magic effect didn’t land - and the subtle way I allowed one person’s energy to disrupt my focus, timing, and presence.

What looked like a failed trick was actually a leadership lesson.

In this episode, I explore how reacting to pressure can shrink your presence, why trying to please one voice can cost the whole room, and how slowing down - not speeding up - is often the most confident move you can make.

If you’ve ever felt thrown off in a meeting, rattled by someone’s tone, or tempted to rush when you feel challenged, this episode is for you.

I walked into an ABC interview about my book with no script and no idea where the conversation would go. Ten years ago, that would’ve terrified me.Instead of rehearsing answers or steering the discussion, I trusted the moment - and the conversation expanded in ways I couldn’t have planned. We talked about the bad date that pushed me into comedy, getting kicked out of Facebook's HQ while dressed as a giant Like button, and the perfectionism that once led me to keep 700 copies of my book in my apartment for six months before releasing it - just in case there was a grammatical issue or typo.In this episode, I explore why the interview worked - not because I was polished or prepared, but because I was present. This is a conversation about confidence, perfectionism, and what happens when you stop trying to control the moment and start trusting the experience.

What happens to your confidence when everything changes in an instant?

In this episode of Fuel Your Confidence, I share a moment I never planned for: walking on stage to deliver a keynote just minutes after an ambulance was called for someone in the audience.

No hype, no performance... Just a choice.

This episode explores how confidence isn’t built in rehearsal or perfect conditions, but in the unexpected moments that ask you to slow down, respond honestly, and trust yourself.

If you’ve ever felt your confidence wobble under pressure, this one will change how you think about it.

We’re taught that confidence has to come first - and only then are we allowed to take the leap. But what if that’s completely backwards?

In this solo episode, I share the true story of my very first stand-up comedy set - and the counterintuitive confidence lesson it taught me for life.

You’ll hear why I never waited to feel ready, how momentum beat fear to the punch, and why focusing on what you love about the process changes everything.

This episode is for anyone who’s stuck, hesitating, or waiting for confidence to magically arrive before taking action. Because confidence doesn’t come from feeling ready. It comes from commitment.
