Episode notes
From School Presentation Panic To YouTube Host
- Katja overcame school presentation terror that left her hands shaking and throat blocked when speaking.
- That early fear became a long-held story that speaking wasn’t for her until she actively rewrote it through small steps.
Start By Writing To Find Your Voice
- Start creating off-camera by writing to process trauma and clarify your message before pressing record.
- Katja wrote a trilogy from her experience (fictionalized young adult) which reframed suffering into growth and sparked her calling to share on video.
Frame Your Story From The Lesson Not The Wound
- Share your story from lessons learned rather than from the wound to avoid pity and inspire action.
- Writing reframed Katja's narrative so she became the hero of her story, changing the energy of how she filmed and connected.
