Because the tension doesn’t begin mid-sentence. It starts earlier.We talk about the protective brace your body organizes around social risk, why it makes sense, and why awareness alone isn’t enough to change it.If you relate to fear of public speaking, social anxiety, or your mind going blank in meetings, this is a quieter, more precise lens. 🧠
