6/17/202645 min
Do you ever freeze when speaking English?
Maybe you know exactly what you want to say, but the words won't come out. Maybe you overthink every sentence, worry about making mistakes, or feel nervous speaking in meetings, presentations, or everyday conversations.
In this inspiring episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, Curtis Davies sits down with Edit B. Kiss—holistic mentor, trauma healing specialist, international speaker, best-selling author, and former petroleum engineer—to explore the deeper reasons why confidence can disappear when we need it most.
Edit shares her incredible journey from working as a petroleum engineer around the world to becoming a successful holistic therapist and mindset coach in London, helping hundreds of people overcome anxiety, panic attacks, trauma, and self-limiting beliefs.
Together, they discuss the surprising connection between confidence, communication, unresolved emotional experiences, and language learning.
Whether you're learning English, building your career, or simply trying to express yourself more confidently, this episode will give you powerful insights and practical strategies you can start using immediately.
