Hello, friend.

Small talk is something that puts fear into the heart of every introvert or socially awkward human out there.

And while you might dismiss the idea of getting better at small talk as something you don’t need. I think it’s really important to be able to do it, not only because it will get you far in your career, but because it will make you feel less uncomfortable in situations where you’re meeting new people, chatting to someone you don’t know very well and make those interactions that make you want to crawl under a table and hide a thing of the past.

Plus, the more you do it, the less scary it becomes. I want to show you how to master the art of small talk - and it really is an art - so you feel less anxious about meeting new people, more confident to speak to anyone, and so whoever you charm with your new small talking skills is like, “Who was that!? I need to know more.”

Hello, friend.

Today’s episode of the pod is about turning anxiety into action (subscribe to my Substack if you'd prefer to read it). So often, anxiety paralyses us and stops us from being the person we want to be and from taking the action we need to in order to achieve our goals. 

Then, when we haven’t taken action because anxiety stopped us, how do we feel? Even more anxious.

So today's episode is all about how we can turn that nervous energy into action instead of letting it hold us back.
