004: How to Perform WITH Performance Anxiety and BECAUSE of It

Author: Martina Meyer October 6, 2020 Duration: 33:16

In Episode 4, Martina and Nat talk about how to engage performance anxiety when it shows up in our bodies, so that we get to perform WITH and BECAUSE of it, not 'despite' of it.

They discuss:

(1) How to recognize when or how performance anxiety shows up in our body (hint: for most of us, it screams “I’m not ready!!!” in one way or another...)

(2) “What we resist, persists” - and so trying to fight, skip or outperform our “performance anxiety” actually achieves it’s opposite

(3) When we learn to be with and engage our performance anxiety, we can expand and grow beyond it, so we can “have it” [our feelings & sensations) without our anxiety or overwhelming feelings/sensations having us.

So tune in - and we invite you to share what moves or inspires you, what opens up for you in this conversation.


In It Takes Two to Tango: Conversations that Move Us, Martina Meyer and Nat Couropmitree explore the profound parallels between Argentine Tango and the art of living well. This isn't a show about dance steps, but about the deeper principles of connection, lead and follow, and navigating life's rhythms with grace. Each episode is a conversation that translates the nuanced language of partnership from the dance floor into practical wisdom for your relationships, personal growth, and leadership. The podcast delves into how we connect with others and ourselves, drawing from a rich tapestry of ideas across culture, spirituality, and society. You'll hear discussions on presence, attunement, and the courage required for genuine collaboration, whether in a boardroom, a family, or within your own spirit. Martina and Nat guide listeners through these themes, offering a unique lens to examine how we can move through the world with more intention and less friction. Tune in for thoughtful dialogue that aims to illuminate the subtle, often unspoken dynamics that shape a meaningful life. The entire experience of this podcast is designed to offer not just theory, but a felt sense of that harmonious flow, inviting you to find your own balance and creativity in every partnership you encounter.
