People often compare themselves to famous interviewers, forgetting that everyone was new to this at some point. Michelle wants us to silence interview jitters by remembering that, in the end, it’s just a conversation.  By staying in the present moment and imagining that this is just a normal chat you’ll calm your nerves. Also, recognize that your nerves are a sign that you care about what you’re talking about. When the jitters start, Michelle wants us to take a break to reset so we can come to the interview ready for the conversation to just flow.   You Have it in You to Share Your Voice A common hang-up for new podcasters is their voice. Many of us are self-conscious about how we sound. This is natural and it shouldn’t stop you. Michelle shares some tips for finding your register and getting grounded so you can confidently and consistently sound good. More than anything else, Michelle believes the key to success is self-love. When you accept yourself, you’ll find that you can be your biggest cheerleader. You’re doing what you do to help others and that’s amazing. Believe in yourself and your message and the confidence to broadcast it to the world will follow.
