I\\u2019m about to share a recent public moment that bothered me . . .\\xa0 \\xa0

While watching a video clip from my recent appearance on the Pretty Intense podcast with Danica Patrick\\u2014an experience I thoroughly enjoyed\\u2014I couldn\\u2019t help but notice something: I kept saying a particular word. And not just once or twice.

Over the course of just a couple minutes, I couldn\\u2019t even keep my total in the single digits.

As someone who\\u2019s spent an entire career in public speaking and content creation, the more I said this word, the more the demons in my mind went into \\u201cmedia frenzy press conference mode.\\u201d

Prepare yourself: This is an honest reenactment of how embarrassment plays out in our heads. I hope this gives you a laugh and also helps you realize that you can take something like this and use it to turn a mortifying moment into an opportunity for growth.
