Good morning, everyone, good evening, good afternoon, wherever you are, and welcome to this week's

weekly energy boost. My name is Elie Sheva, and I'm here this beautiful Monday morning with

David, and we are

talking about talking. Today's topic is public speaking, a fear worse than death. And I find it

ironic that David and I are publicly speaking about public speaking. But obviously we know it is,

I think in all the polls that have ever been done,

people are more afraid of public speaking than they are of dying.

And to me, that's a very interesting topic, and we'll understand how this week conspires to support us and empower us to take whatever level we have of communicating

with the world to the next level. Weekly energy boost is a seven-day spiritual weather forecast

where David, myself, and often our guests share the most powerful and practical wisdom

and tools to support you in the coming

seven days, whatever opportunities and gifts might be coming through. We do that by gleaning

through the wisdom of Kabbalah and picking out the lessons, the wisdom, the tools that will

help our listeners not only navigate the coming seven days, but our entire lives. And I can tell you from my personal experience, I don't know if I ever shared it on the

podcast before.

Growing up, speaking was my greatest challenge, not that I couldn't speak, but that I had

tremendous blockage in talking to people.

I couldn't order food at a restaurant.

If we went out to dinner, my family, I would tell my parents what I wanted, or if I didn't like it, I would whisper to them, and they would have to communicate to whoever was serving.

I couldn't, like, if I didn't feel comfortable with the people that I was next to,

if I didn't know them, I had a lot of difficulty speaking. And we're not talking about public speaking.

We're talking about one-on-one communication. It was actually through my experience at the Kabbalah Center
