Listen "If Only I Didn't Have an Audience Complex"
Episode Synopsis
What if you could finally stop second-guessing yourself and fully show up as the real you—on stage, in business, and in life? In this episode, we explore how to move beyond self-doubt, quiet the inner critic, and embrace a new level of unfiltered confidence and freedom.
My special guest, Marci Brand, is a seasoned business development expert, speaker, and mentor with over three decades of experience. She founded a successful marketing consultancy in the apartment industry and served as president of the Howard County Business Women’s Network. Known for blending professional expertise with personal authenticity, Marci helps women leaders find their voice, navigate transformation, and step boldly into leadership with resilience and clarity.
Together, we dive into:
* Overcoming the “audience complex” to speak with confidence and genuine connection.
* Leadership insights that empower women to break barriers and amplify their impact.
* Time and stress management strategies to stay productive without burning out.
* Transforming personal loss into fuel for growth, strength, and renewal.
“Judging yourself is not doing anything positive for anyone, especially you.” — Marci Brand
