Stage fright, sweaty palms, mental blanks—sound familiar? Whether you’re stepping into the spotlight or just into class, performance anxiety is real… but it doesn’t have to hold you back.

In this episode, I’m breaking down what performance anxiety actually is, where it shows up (hint: not just on stage), and the five powerful tools I use with my students and in my own practice to move through fear and into flow.

We’re talking mindset, breathwork, affirmations, and real-life strategies you can start using today—on the pole and in your life.

If you’ve ever thought “I’m not ready,” “What if I mess up?” or “Everyone’s watching me…” — this one’s for you.
