This episode took on a bit of a mind of its own. I reflect on taking a big life leap and submitting a chapter of my book for publication. I also share different ways to talk about hesitation and the use of ums and ahs in speech, offering tips on how to reduce them and improve public speaking skills. Learn what it means to 'suck your teeth' in Ireland and why 'you can't plough a field by turning it over in your mind.'
