What if your struggle with public speaking isn’t about confidence…
but about your history?

In this podcast conversation, I open up about the parts of my story that shaped my voice: growing up in a culture where you don’t question authority, moving countries, feeling isolated for being “too direct,” and the loneliness that comes from constantly editing yourself to fit in.

We talk about:

Why many entrepreneurs fear being judged when they speak

How childhood dynamics can train you to stay quiet and “play safe”

The identity shift from software developer to speaking coach

Why “people-pleasing” can quietly kill your message

My core philosophy: Laughing in the Face of Adversity — using humor to relax the nervous system, think clearer, and move forward

If you’re an entrepreneur building confidence, learning to speak up, and trying to turn your past into fuel (not a cage), this episode will hit home.
