Episode #233: Overthinking + Nerves the Week Before My TEDx Talk (TEDx Story, 4 of 4)

Summary 

This is the final chapter of my TEDx story before I step onto the stage, and this time, I’m not telling it from the other side. I’m recording it in real time, just days before the talk, while the nerves, perfectionism, and overthinking are very much alive.

In this episode, I’m sharing what surprised me about getting close to a big goal, why success can sometimes make our stress patterns louder instead of quieter, and the shift that’s helping me stay grounded as the red circle gets closer. Because sometimes the hardest part isn’t starting. It’s letting yourself arrive.
