Most people are afraid of public speaking.
But what does it actually feel like to stand up in front of a room full of people and do it anyway?

In this episode of First Time Energy, Alex sits down with a guest to talk about the nerves, pressure, overthinking, adrenaline, awkward moments, and unexpected confidence that can come with public speaking — especially the first few times.

From shaky hands and racing thoughts to learning how to recover when things don’t go perfectly, this conversation is less about becoming a “perfect speaker” and more about what it’s like to push through the discomfort of being seen and heard.

If you’ve ever felt intimidated speaking in front of people, presenting in a meeting, introducing yourself in a room, or simply trying not to sound nervous while everyone’s looking at you… this episode will probably feel very familiar.

Awkward is fine. We’re doing it anyway.
