Quieting Your Inner Critic & Showing Up Brave - with Confidence Coach, KT LaPorta

As someone with experience of social anxiety, and who trained as a counsellor and set up a business as a confidence coach, KT LaPorta has a wealth of personal and professional experience and approaches for dealing with anxiety to share with you, wherever you are in your journey from socially anxious to quietly confident. Join us for a conversation about the harsh inner critic, the 'shoulds' and 'ought-tos' we hear in our heads, and feeling stuck in the mud in your attempts to overcome anxiety. We'll be talking about the importance of your words and honouring your nature; why we need to search for the right fit when we're seeking help for anxiety; and what it is that inspired KT LaPorta to be brave in her life - and we think this story will inspire you too.
