Have you ever felt the grip of fear holding you back from becoming the leader you know you can be? Meet Sandy Hedenberg, a former sales manager who embarked on a journey to conquer her crippling public speaking anxiety and unleash her true potential.

In this inspiring episode of the Confidence Within podcast, we delve into Sandy's transformation from being bullied as a child and being scared to speak publicly to being a powerful communicator, and how it has opened doors she never thought possible.
