Does showing up on stage, on camera, or behind the mic make your heart race? You're not alone—and this episode is for you. Host Hayleigh Hayhurst sits down with Linda Ugelow, the brilliant mind behind Delight in the Limelight, to explore how to overcome the fear of being seen and heard.

Linda shares her powerful personal story of pushing past public speaking anxiety, unpacking childhood conditioning, and reclaiming her voice with confidence. You'll learn how to move beyond managing fear to clearing it entirely—and how to show up as your most authentic self on stage, online, or anywhere you feel called to speak.

In this episode:

• Why many of us lose the natural confidence we had as kids
• How to uncover the root of your fear of visibility
• The difference between managing fear and resolving it
• Tools like EFT tapping, expressive arts, and voice work
• Why filler words happen and how to speak with clarity and presence
• The surprising connection between your childhood and how you show up today
• How to build confidence whether you're a podcast host, public speaker, or just getting started

Whether you're prepping for your first podcast or your hundredth, this episode will inspire you to own your voice, speak boldly, and—yes—delight in the limelight.
