Failure can be strangely freeing. When Amy gets up to the mic to tell a new joke, she has no idea how the audience will react… but she does the damn thing anyway! Rather than get hung up on whether she’ll “succeed” or “fail,” she’s given herself creative freedom to get out there and try something new. If you’re worried how people will react when you make your move, listen now for a little extra encouragement to get out there and shine.
