Jenny Slate, Stage Fright, and the Pharaoh’s Dust

When Dreams Turn Into Dust

Jenny Slate thought joining SNL at 28 would be like kissing a young pharaoh and becoming his bride. Instead, she got a mummified corpse who "coughed his dust down into my throat."

After getting fired, the humiliation poisoned her standup and made her feel like she would never get on stage again. She felt like "the dying antelope" - and that everyone wanted her gone because she reminded them they could fail too.

The "Weird Dude" Solution

Jenny got pissed. She refused to let some TV executive write her story's ending. So she went to a "weird dude" and got hypnotized.

What happened next? Her stage fright went away, she relaxed, and connected to her own natural, spacious, creative intelligence and wisdom and clarity.

And then she got back on stage and did what she came here to do in the world.

The Real Magic

Stage fright isn't about the stage - it's about carrying someone else's story about your worth. Jenny's SNL experience gave her a narrative that she didn't belong, that people hated her for trying, but Hypnotherapy helped her drop that story and pick up her own again.

She remembered the difference between her authentic voice and the toxic programming she'd internalized.

So what old, dusty dynamics are you ready to cough up and be done with?
