Social anxiety can feel like a relentless barrier, making everyday interactions and public speaking nerve-wracking. If you’ve ever found yourself avoiding social situations, dreading presentations, or feeling overly self-conscious, you’re not alone.  I struggled in my teens with public speaking.  One of the ways I healed was though attending a local Toastmasters club.  I know it may seem scary, but with support you can improve ability to share and connect in social situations. Many people face similar challenges, but the good news is that overcoming these obstacles is possible. One powerful way to do this is by joining Toastmasters, an international organization dedicated to improving public speaking, leadership, and communication skills.
