Authority can be one of the biggest triggers for blushing, freezing, or shrinking. In this video, I’m breaking down why authority figures activate your fight-or-flight response, the beliefs underneath that reaction, and how exposure work can retrain your nervous system so you stop feeling powerless in those moments.

You’ll learn where these beliefs come from, how they shape your behavior today, and practical tools you can use to pivot out of that panic response in real time. This is about reclaiming your voice, your agency, and your own inner authority – without disrespecting anyone.

If you’ve ever blushed, frozen, or lost your words around someone “above” you… this one is for you.
