Every podcast needs an origin story to explain why the podcast host feels the need to create this podcast even though everyone and their mom has a podcast right now. Origin stories are full of plenty of details that are usually not necessary to the overall storyline,  and this episode holds true to that with mentions of the D.A.R.E. program, flamingos, St. Anthony, Hurricane Katrina, kettlebells, stress management, and more. 

To stay true to podcast launch tradition, here is the origin story for the Improvly Speaking Podcast. I share how I got here, why I am doing this podcast, what this podcast will be about, and what the term Improvly Speaking means.  This episode is the full, unabridged story of my public speaking journey — from terrible, scared, and shy speaker to conquering my fears of public speaking and actually enjoying and loving public speaking to discovering improv with that newfound courage.

Victoria Koenitzer is an Associate Attorney in San Diego, CA. During Law School, she realized she needed to get over her fear of public speaking if she was going to succeed in her law career. She decided to explore improvisation through Toastmasters and taking an Improv 101 class at a local theatre. And the rest is history! Not only has she conquered her fear of public speaking, she has found a love of improv and an even bigger love (if that's possible) for teaching improv!

Check out Victoria's story and her reflections on why improv has been so profound in her journey and life here on this episode!
