Ever given a talk, walked off the stage, felt the rush of "HECK YES I nailed that!"—and then bam, hours later, you’re deep in the land of second-guessing and spiraling, you start replaying everything that went wrong? 

In this episode of The Ramble Refinery, we’re talking about that weird emotional dip that hits right after a big visibility moment—the one no one warns you about. It’s more common than you think, especially when you’re pushing your edge and stepping into bigger rooms.

You’ll hear:

• Why this spiral shows up (even when the talk goes great)
• The real reason high-achievers beat themselves up after visibility
• 5 things to do right after a talk to move through the spiral
• How to make each speaking moment build momentum (instead of just moving on)

If you’ve ever done something brave—only to pick it apart later—this quickie is your reminder: self-critique isn’t the problem. Getting stuck there is. Let’s fix that.
