5/8/20264 min
In this bonus episode, Ashani gives you a reassuring pep talk for when you're feeling anxious before a presentation, event, or any situation that feels overwhelming, and the self-talk shifts that can help you calm your nerves and show up anyway.

Holly Wainwright0:04
Hello, Holly Wainwright here. I'm an executive editor at Mamamia, and I have been part of this business, an independent women's media company, for more than a decade now. I have seen a lot, but being independent has always meant that we don't have anyone telling us to play it safe or to avoid the topics that feel a bit too messy or uncomfortable for a boardroom full of dudes to handle, and I never [laughs] take that for granted. If we help you feel a little bit less alone or more connected through the conversations with fascinating women that Kate Langbroek's having on No Filter or one of our other shows, or if we help you feel more informed with the stories that your group chat is really reading on the Mamamia app, please consider, please, please becoming a subscriber, because your support really helps us keep telling the stories that matter to Australian women. As a Mamamia subscriber, you get unlimited access to everything, every article, every video, and every single podcast we make. You can even move with me. Subscribers get full access to our at-home fitness app, including my new weights program, launching soon, I promise, with an expert and not just me. Subscribe to [laughs] Mamamia today. Support independent women's media. There's a link to do that in our show notes.
