What Actually Works on Stage ( Simple, realistic, and doable when you’re nervous)

What actually helps you become a stronger speaker when you still feel nervous, unsure, or afraid people will judge you? In this episode, I break down a simple, realistic approach that works far better than waiting to “feel confident” first. I’m sharing an easy 3-part structure you can use to speak more clearly about your message, your story, and what you stand for without sounding rehearsed, rambling, or overly polished. We talk about why confidence is a result, not a prerequisite… why practicing out loud matters more than perfecting your message in private… and how small, honest repetition can help you become more grounded on video, in interviews, and on stage. If you’ve been wondering how to talk about your work in a way that feels natural, human, and memorable, this episode will help you start.

The most common storytelling mistake (and why it makes people tune out)

Ever get on a mic and suddenly feel the urge to “prove” you’re worth listening to? In this episode, I’m naming one of the most common mistakes authors make when sharing their story on podcasts, Zooms, and stages: turning the story into a credibility pitch. Not because you’re arrogant, but because fear of judgment makes you reach for safety, and “safety” often sounds like extra context, qualifications, and explaining. You’ll learn why people tune out when your story becomes a resume, what “human specificity” actually means (and why it makes people lean in), and a simple shift you can make immediately: stop trying to make your story acceptable and start making it specific. If you’ve ever rushed past the emotional moment, skipped the scene, or jumped straight to the lesson so you wouldn’t feel exposed, this episode will help you tell the truth with more clarity and less self-protection, without oversharing.

From Memoir to One‑Woman Show - Telling the Stories That Heal

In this powerful conversation, Brenda sits down with storyteller and author Kirstyn Lazur to explore the transformation of deeply held experiences into cathartic art. Kirstyn shares her journey from writing her memoir to working through fear, shame, and family response — and now bringing that same story to life as a one‑person show. Together, they discuss: * Why stories aren’t truly finished after publication * How embracing vulnerability leads to healing * What it takes to move a story from the page to the stage * The difference between living smaller because of our secrets vs thriving by sharing them * The power of community and witness in storytelling * How the process of embodiment (acting, character work) unlocks emotional expression Kirstyn opens up about writing a memoir filled with spiritual mystery and personal challenge, the intense process of crafting the manuscript, and her release into community and performance. She and Brenda dig into the heart of storytelling as a force for collective healing and personal transformation. ✨ Kirstyn one-woman show was developed and directed for the stage by Brenda Adelman.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
