When an icon like Diane Keaton...poised, accomplished and unforgettable, admits to being anxious before a live appearance, it stops us in our tracks.  In a recent video shared by David Letterman as a tribute to the loss of Dianne, it showed her being visibly nervous in front of a live audience. The world saw a superstar momentarily unsure of herself… and loved her even more for it. In this episode, I unpack why seeing celebrities like Diane outside their polished performances makes us feel so connected, and what that means for you and your business when you show up live on camera. If you’ve been holding back from going live because you feel nervous, awkward, or unpolished, this episode will shift your perspective.

You keep saying you hate the camera. That you’ll feel better once you lose 10 pounds, find the right lighting, or buy better makeup. But let’s be honest...the camera isn’t the real issue. In this episode I break down the real reason accomplished women avoid being visible and it has nothing to do with their face, their weight, or their tech setup. It’s the hidden loop playing behind the scenes: fear of judgment, perfectionism, and a belief that they’re not “ready yet.” If you’ve been hiding behind “I don’t like how I look on camera,” this episode will lovingly call you out...AND call you forward.
