Speak Your Stories with Confidence (Even If You’re Not a “Speaker”)

⚠️ Note: This episode is from the Intentional Documentary® era. I’ve kept it in the public archive because it explores expression and confidence, both themes that still pulse through Dangerously Good Stories.

...

This episode offers a gentle but honest invitation to move beyond the keyboard and practice speaking your stories aloud.

Originally recorded for photographers, the message still resonates for anyone learning to show up — voice and all — with more presence and clarity.

If you’ve ever hesitated to be seen, heard, or felt “not polished enough,” this one's for you.

Topics covered: 

Why writing-only expression may be limiting your connection

Places to start speaking your stories (beyond social media)

How to lower the pressure and speak more naturally

A high school memory that shaped Marie’s approach to public speaking

The mindset difference between “chef” and “order taker” in business

Lessons from direct sales and teaching workshops

The power of practicing and building a personal story library

Normalising imperfection, tongue-twisters, and mid-sentence forgetfulness
