In this episode of the Happy Healthy Hustle Podcast, I take you behind the scenes of my TEDx Talk “How Small Steps Create Big Change.” Watch it here From rehearsing on a rug that matched the red dot to choosing golden shoes that shaped my posture, I share the small rituals, psychology, and Petite Practices™ that helped me feel ready long before stepping into the spotlight. This conversation is about more than memorizing a script. It’s about how preparation, behavioral science, and self-signaling create the evidence you need to step on stage with confidence. Here’s what I talk about: ➡️ Why reducing friction matters more than talent or charisma ➡️ How “choice architecture” helps you design an environment for success ➡️ The role of embodied cognition in stage presence and confidence ➡️ Why small rituals like lotion, mascara, and a grounding necklace send powerful signals to your brain ➡️ How self-signaling builds the belief that you are prepared and professional ➡️ This week’s Petite Practice™: choose one ritual that tells your brain, “You belong here.” My reminder this week: “Preparation is never wasted. It’s not about perfection - it’s about the evidence you give yourself that you are ready.” Connect with Christiane: Say hi on Instagram: @doctor.christiane Find tools, past episodes, and free clarity resources: doctorchristiane.com Read the blog: https://doctorchristiane.com/tedx-prep-secrets/ Listen on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/11-secrets-behind-my-tedx-talk/id1678822774?i=1000728648207 Watch, like, and comment on YouTube:https://youtu.be/ukr6dS4BrEk?feature=shared Grab the bestselling How to Master Your Goals book: https://amzn.to/46gjOaE Watch the TEDx talk: https://tinyurl.com/Watch-TEDx If this episode encouraged you, share it with someone who needs the reminder that small steps matter.
