4 Science-Backed Steps to Silence Self-Doubt and Speak Without Anxiety

This week Lo is joined by Lynn Smith, former CNN and MSNBC anchor turned powerhouse communication coach to top CEO's and executives. Lynn knows what it feels like to be gripped by anxiety, sweaty palms, and brain fog when all eyes are on you—and more importantly, she knows how to overcome it. In this conversation, she shares how to silence your “brain bully” that relentless inner critic that fuels self-doubt and holds you back. We dig into the science of how thoughts shape behavior, why so many high achievers secretly struggle with anxiety, and how reframing your inner dialogue can change everything—from the boardroom to your living room. Lynn also opens up about motherhood, perfectionism, online criticism, and finding strength in imperfection, all while proving you can lead with confidence in every part of life. Whether you’re speaking on stage, leading at work, or just trying to be heard in everyday life, this conversation gives you the tools to calm anxiety and communicate with confidence.
