From Stress to Success
Season 5: 4 episodes
How to manage nerves and adrenaline when presenting
Research tells us that 75% of the population fears public speaking. Much of this anxiety is due to lack of preparation, both physical and mental.
Then there’s the audience, the numbers in the room, the deal that’s being worked on… Or perhaps you get stuck in traffic, your train is cancelled, the tech doesn’t work or your car has a flat tyre!
We know this is a stressful space for many people. If we don’t find ways to overcome that stress, it may be detrimental to our personal and professional lives.
Antonia Siegel is the founder of Healthy Habits. She’s a mindset and behaviour-change coach for men and women; she specialises in wellness and menopause. Her coaching methods follow a science-based approach, backed by neuroscience and positive psychology. One of the areas she excels in is stress management.
1. What is stress and how does it show up?
The World Health Organisation deems stress to be the health epidemic of the 21st Century.
In this episode, Antonia and Maryanne discuss what stress is, where it comes from and how it manifests itself within us.
If we can understand our stress response, we can find ways to manage it.
2. Managing Stress When We Present
75% of the population fears public speaking. Avoiding it isn't always an option though and imagine the opportunities you could miss if you aren't able to fully engage!
We can take control and we always have a choice.
In this episode, Maryanne and Antonia discuss Imposter Syndrome and practical techniques to control your stress levels. They chat about their experiences and what works for them.

3. How to use breathing techniques to reduce stress and anxiety
In this episode, we get hands-on!
Antonia explains to us how breathwork can regulate the stress hormone and reduce stress levels.
She takes us through a powerful breathing technique that can help to control the stress we feel and get us into the right headspace before presenting.
4. Self-Doubt to Self-Trust: Rebuilding Belief in Yourself
In this episode, we explore how a lack of self-trust, not just confidence, can contribute to stress and anxiety in various situations like job interviews, career changes, or returning to work after family leave.
We also touch on how menopause can affect self-trust with symptoms like brain fog and low mood.
Joining me is Antonia Siegel, a mindset and behavior change coach from Healthy Habits, to discuss strategies for rebuilding self-trust and thriving through life's challenges.
