Ladies Go Live: 10th November 2021 Ladies Go Live

There is nothing worse than feeling embarrassed.  

Except for the fact those are the memories that you remember most of all.  

Did you fall over in the street?  Did your skirt blow up at the wrong time?  

Was there something stuck in your teeth during a first date?  

When you made that presentation, was your shirt see-through under the lights?  

I could go on...  

Embarrassing things happen, a bit like they're simply part of everyday life.  

But have you noticed that when you feel top of your game, fewer things happen?   

Or even the most embarrassing happen when you are worried/upset/stressed?  

It is SO hard to laugh something off when you are feeling like the world is piling in.  

And worse if you are trying to make a good impression.  

Do you know how I used to cope when I started teaching fitness classes?  

Well, I get stage fright (hard to believe at times I know, but it is legit), which over the years is something I have worked on, but to begin with, it was really hard.  

Anyway, when I started teaching (and even now if I get really nervous or want to make a great impression) I started the class off by saying or doing something silly.  You know, like an ice breaker.  

My favourite story is always telling people how I fell off the bike 1/2 way through the warm-up on my first cycle class.  I kill the embarrassment of that moment with something I feel is worse than anything anyone else could do right then.  

The kill kindness with kindness mentality.  But guess what?!  

It works!  

Join Paula Goodman and me as we talk through our self-conscious emotions, share our stories and experiences, and what coping mechanisms work for us.
