Do you replay conversations in your head, overanalyze your tone, or assume everyone noticed that one awkward thing you said?

In this video, I break down why we overthink conversations and how to stop getting trapped in your own head when you speak. You’ll learn practical communication frameworks to help you speak more clearly, feel more confident, and stop second-guessing every word.

We cover:

the Spotlight Effect
