Description

No more allowing stage fright, negative thought spirals, and self-doubt to run the show. Performance Pep Talk is your go-to tool if you’re a performer, actor, singer, or speaker who wants to feel centered and confident walking onstage. Hosted by mental performance coach Sophie Adickes (M.A. Psych, M.M., ICF ACC), each 10-minute episode blends psychology and practical tools to help you calm nerves, quiet imposter syndrome, and reshape your self-talk pre-performance. Because resilience, confidence, and self-belief aren’t personality traits, they’re skills you can train.
