OM DENNE EPISODE
What happens when someone who grew up shy and afraid to speak in front of people decides to stop letting that fear hold her back?
This week, Auntie Mel Mel is joined by her friend Autumn Jose, MBA, to talk about finding your voice, building confidence, and learning to speak up—even when you're nervous.
Autumn shares how shyness affected her growing up, the ways she now recognizes it held her back, and what happened when she began challenging herself to step outside of that comfort zone.
Today, Autumn works in marketing in the banking industry and serves as Vice President of Education for Western Maryland Toastmasters—helping others develop the very skills she once struggled with herself.
Mel and Autumn talk about public-speaking anxiety, Toastmasters, career growth, leadership, confidence, getting uncomfortable, and the difference between waiting until you're fearless and learning to do something while you're still afraid.
They also look back at the shy younger version of Autumn and what she'd tell that girl today.
Because finding your voice isn't necessarily about becoming the loudest person in the room.
Sometimes it's simply realizing that what you have to say deserves to be heard. 💜
