ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Waiting to feel confident before you press record? Give yourself a small opportunity to practice today.
In this solo episode of Decoding the Flow, Drica Lobo continues the conversation about confidence on camera, exploring how small, repeatable actions help you build trust in your own voice.
Drawing from her experience reading aloud in front of a mirror, hosting weekly Instagram Lives, and practicing on a personal account for family, Drica shares ways to lower the pressure and give yourself room to learn.
You'll explore why your standards might be ahead of your current skills, how to improve one aspect of your communication at a time, and how to return to practice after an interruption without punishing yourself.
Plus, try a five-day exercise designed to help you follow through, finish your thoughts, and become more comfortable speaking—with no requirement to publish.
In this episode: • How small actions support the person you want to become • Creating a comfortable space to practice, even with no audience • Learning from the gap between your vision and your current abilities • Building consistency without demanding perfection • Communicating clearly while keeping your accent, warmth, and personality • A five-day, one-minute recording practice you can start today
Your five-day practice: Record yourself explaining one familiar idea for about a minute each day. Finish the thought, allowing yourself to pause, breathe, or correct a word. Choose one small adjustment for your next attempt. At the end of five days, reflect on what became more familiar and what you'd like to keep practicing.
Continue the conversation: Listen to Episode 56 for the first part of this conversation, including the observer technique for watching yourself with curiosity.
