11 Secrets behind my TEDx talk
Season 3 Episode 72
Want to deliver a powerful TEDx talk? Start with these small but strategic steps.
In this episode of the Happy Healthy Hustle Podcast, I take you behind the scenes of my TEDx Talk “How Small Steps Create Big Change.”
From rehearsing on a rug that matched the red dot to choosing golden shoes that shaped my posture, I share the small rituals, psychology, and Petite Practices™ that helped me feel ready long before stepping into the spotlight.
This conversation is about more than memorizing a script. It’s about how preparation, behavioral science, and self-signaling create the evidence you need to step on stage with confidence.
Here’s what I talk about:
➡️ Why reducing friction matters more than talent or charisma
➡️ How “choice architecture” helps you design an environment for success
➡️ The role of embodied cognition in stage presence and confidence
➡️ Why small rituals like lotion, mascara, and a grounding necklace send powerful signals to your brain
➡️ How self-signaling builds the belief that you are prepared and professional
➡️ This week’s Petite Practice™: choose one ritual that tells your brain, “You belong here.”
My reminder this week:
“Preparation is never wasted. It’s not about perfection - it’s about the evidence you give yourself that you are ready.”
