  Have you ever stumbled over your words, made a typo, or felt embarrassed by a small mistake—and then replayed it all day? There's a psychological reason for that: the spotlight effect. We tend to dramatically overestimate how much other people notice, remember, and judge our mistakes. In this episode, discover why the spotlight is mostly self-imposed, and how shrinking your imagined audience can help you speak up, take risks, and move forward with confidence.
