The real reason you freeze up on camera


Aloha Flow Riders!

Ever wonder why you can confidently chat with friends for hours, but freeze up the second you hit record?

You're not lacking confidence. You just learned to hide it somewhere along the way.

The breakthrough insight:

When you were 5, you had zero problem being yourself on camera. Then someone made you self-conscious about it. But that confident kid is still in there – just buried under years of "what will people think?"

The two modes that change everything

Every time you hit record, you're in one of two modes:

Impress Mode: Trying to sound smart, worrying about judgment.

Express Mode: Sharing what you actually think, like talking to a friend.

Plot twist: Express Mode actually makes you more impressive because people crave authenticity.

The physical hack that changes everything

That nervous feeling in your stomach is exact same sensation as you're excited.

Your body is giving you energy. The difference is just the story you tell yourself.

Instead of "Oh no, I'm nervous," try "I'm excited to share this."

Your confidence challenge 🎯

  1. Talk to a friend – Imagine you're explaining something to your best friend.
  2. Don't apologize – If you mess up, just keep going. Stay in character .
  3. Get unstuck – Say "basically what I'm trying to say is..."
  4. Post it anyway – Especially if it feels imperfect.

Keep being brave,
Katie + Doc


P.S. "We all have confidence when we're kids. It gets taken away."

It's time to take it back.
