I have to mentally prepare for “every” non-personal conversation I have. I speak in a controlled speech cadence so that I can think about what I’m about to say.

I have to mentally prepare for “every” non-personal conversation I have. I speak in a controlled speech cadence so that I can think about what I’m about to say. I speak with confidence and authority because I’m acting. It’s also exhausting and can really burn you out.
