In this episode of Speaking of Stories, I’m joined by English coach Lisa Wood, creator of the Calm Way.
We explore what really holds people back from speaking English confidently and why it’s often not vocabulary or grammar.
Lisa shares her personal journey learning French and Spanish, and how it led her to develop a more human, brain-friendly approach to language learning focused on mindset, communication, and real-life use.
We talk about:
- Why traditional language learning methods don’t prepare you for real conversations
- The role of mindset, confidence, and self-acceptance in speaking English
- How perfectionism and fear of judgement block communication
- Why native speakers also need better communication awareness
- Practical strategies like paraphrasing and simplifying your message
- What it really means to feel like yourself in another language
If you live or work in English in a global environment and still feel blocked, stuck, or unconfident – this conversation will resonate.
