Stop Performing: Live Your Life, Not a Script

What if the pressure you feel isn’t real, but perceived? In this episode, Nadia Chapman unpacks the spotlight effect and how it quietly shapes your behavior. The overthinking. The performing. The constant mental rehearsal before you speak, post, or act. We assume we’re being judged far more than we are. This conversation is an invitation to loosen that grip. To stop pre-editing yourself. To move before you feel perfectly polished. Growth doesn’t require approval. It requires courage.
