What To Do About Stage Fright

Joe Hudson and Brett Kistler
About this episode

Tara Howley and Janine Parziale dive into stage fright and performance anxiety. Drawing from personal experience and professional expertise, they share how to work with fear rather than fight it—transforming it into a source of energy, presence, and even joy.

They discuss:

  • Understanding the physiology and psychology of stage fright
  • How to reframe fear as excitement and use it as fuel
  • Body-based techniques for releasing freeze and nervous system overwhelm
  • Practical preparation strategies—from nutrition to exercise to mindset
  • The role of shame, self-consciousness, and compassion in performance anxiety
  • Embracing mistakes and turning them into moments of connection and magic
  • Why stage fright can be a gift and how to welcome it
