What if the thing you’re most afraid of is also a portal to finding your voice?
In this episode of the Coaching Magic podcast, Jill sist down with Deirdre Van Nest for a powerful conversation about fear, storytelling, and what it really takes to step into visibility. Deirdre shares her journey from being deeply afraid of public speaking to becoming a confident, sought-after speaking coach—and along the way, reminds us that fear isn’t a road block. It’s information.
We explore why public speaking feels so vulnerable for so many people, how personal experiences create resonance with an audience, and why storytelling is the bridge between speaker and listener. Deirdre also breaks down the importance of structure—not as something restrictive, but as a container that creates safety, confidence, and flow.
This episode is a beautiful reminder that your story matters, your voice is worth sharing, and with the right support, coaching can help transform fear into clarity, courage, and connection.
