Conquering My Fears In Front Of 1,500 People This Past Weekend

May 20, 2014 Career
I have a bit of a secret to tell you, something that I have never admitted to in a public forum before.  I really don’t like public speaking.  I know, that’s crazy, right?!  How can someone who wants her own talk show and who loves the camera as much as I do, dislike something that seems so similar?  Well, it’s honestly something I have struggled with for a while.  I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that I am still stepping in to the “expert” role in a lot of ways when it comes to my brand.  When I speak to people one-on-one I feel like I can be really honest and opinionated but when I am expected to showcase my beliefs on a public platform, it freaks me out!  Although I reach millions with my talk show, it still feels so intimate for me because it is just a few people in the studio with me at a time versus thousands of people staring you in the face.  That’s a huge part of the reason why I created Bella Life with so many experts, so that I could showcase how amazing other people are but not really put the attention on myself.  Have you ever noticed that you do that too?  Well, it’s time to stop and the universe will give you reasons to cut it out whether you think you are ready or not.  Trust me.
