Hi Tribers! Hope everyone is feeling awesome and fresh!

I am expecting the crane for my piano to arrive in 2 hours. Kind of anxious… Even tho I have done this before, it’s still bothersome… the thought of my 9 ft grand swinging in the air and me wondering if the ropes will brake or if it’s going to hit the wall is making me not being able to breathe and I struggle to just focus on deep breathing which seems to be a challenge right now…

Anyways, I wanted to share a strategy that has helped me a lot with STAGE FRIGHT in the past. I had to overcome stage fright in various different areas in my life, here are some:

playing my first concert at 6 years old
my first karate competition
my first modeling runway show
first bikini runway show at swim week
my first festival as a DJ
my first rave where I djed and played piano at the same time
all types of events that involve a lot of people that I don’t know…

Now, I simply DO THE THING. It doesn’t bother me a bit whether I play for 50 old fashioned conservative judgmental folks or 5000 ravers…

I don’t give a fck or sh1t about what if (insert worst case scenario).

I am doing my best w what I have got and there is that.

But I want to share w you what has had moved the needle when it comes to stage fright or “braking the ice”.

Find a silly object or accessory and have it w you / wear it and OWN IT!

Make it the conversation piece / center of attention! To ease off of the attention at YOU and sort of deflect it…

I have done that w stuffed animals, silly hats, goofy shoes or shirts 😂

It works!

Nowadays I just do this for fun. Cuz it’s fun!! I no longer have stage fright absolutely anywhere! And it’s not that this single thing made it that way and solved it all but certainly helped :)

In this video I explain a bit about a windmill/propeller hair clip I am wearing at the SKOOL IRL LA event that happened last weekend.

I wore this hair piece just so I can tell strangers to BLOW ME 😂

What about you? Do you have stage fright or fear of public speaking and if so, what has helped you?
