In today’s episode, we’re joined by voice and confidence expert Caroline Goyder, who helps people understand what’s actually happening when your voice shakes, your mind goes blank, or you suddenly start overthinking mid-sentence. We also get into why confidence isn’t about ‘faking it’, how your nervous system directly impacts the way you speak, and the small, practical shifts that make you sound calmer, clearer, and more in control when public speaking. What you’ll learn: ⭐ How to stop your voice shaking when public speaking ❌ Why pretending to be confident doesn’t work (and what does) 🧠 The real reason your brain freezes when speaking (and how to fix it) ⏸️ The 2 second trick that instantly makes you sound more confident 💨 The 1 breathing habit that improves how you speak Resources & links mentioned: Caroline Goyder’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/carolinegoyder/ Free Gravitas Course: https://carolinegoyder.com/ Course Library 2025: https://carolinegoyder.com/courses/ Caroline Goyder's Books: https://carolinegoyder.com/books/?kuid=8165193d-b1b1-4c04-9e11-5c54fc86fa7c-1778057021&kref=https%3A%2F%2Fcarolinegoyder.com%2F Toastmasters Public Speaking Club: https://www.toastmasters.org/ Ultra Speaking community:https://ultraspeaking.com/ Links to subscribe / follow: • Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/her-discussions-by-dr-faye/id1835829612 • Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5viLYizHD4Zy6J42iqtPRo Can I ask you a BIG favour? 💙 • Please leave a review or rating.
