![Talking into microphones is my favorite. I don’t know why, but I feel more comfortable with a microphone in my hand and talking to a crowd than I do speaking to a small group at a party. I often feel socially awkward-- I can feel myself talking too much, oversharing, and saying things I’m going to regret later. But when I’m podcasting or speaking to an audience, I feel like I’ve stepped into my most confident version of me.
Last Friday I got to talk to the women of Dunwoody Baptist MOPS group, where I shared from the book of Exodus for 50 full minutes and NO ONE WALKED OUT! Yay! As I prep to talk about my experiences as a podcaster at Mom 2.0 in nine days and prep a talk for the women of Northside Church in May, I’m looking back at the speaking engagements I’ve had: SXSW, Alt Summit, Texas Style Council (this conf was the #GOAT, but I’m biased), and I’m really grateful for those opportunities and the relationships formed from those opportunities. I hope that I can grow as a speaker, but I also hope that I can learn to not be so dang socially awkward. The big talk from the stage is easy; it’s the small talk in the crowd that kills.
