(6 min) You Already Know English. So Why Does Speaking It Feel So Hard?
Every time you try to speak, something inside holds you back. You overthink. You fear mistakes. You imagine others judging you - so you stay quiet. But what if that voice in your head isn't trying to sabotage you? What if it's actually trying to protect you? In this episode of 'From Lost to the River', I sit down with bestselling author and master coach Peter Freeth to explore the psychology of perfectionism, the inner critic, and why both are working overtime to keep you "safe", even when that safety is holding you back. Peter shares insights from 20+ years of coaching experience, explaining why your inner critic isn't the enemy. It's a misunderstood ally. Together, we unpack how to change your relationship with that voice so you can stop feeling bad, stop holding back, and finally speak English with freedom and self-trust.

(4 min) Cómo dejar de bloquearte al hablar inglés | con Nines Lopéz
Still overthinking your English in meetings, even after years of classes? Finance Manager Nines López explains why grammar-heavy English learning keeps capable Spanish professionals stuck, silent, and second-guessing themselves, and what actually builds real speaking confidence at work. We explore why textbook English rarely translates into real-world fluency, and how a conversation-first, identity-led approach helps professionals speak naturally under pressure. We unpack the emotional blocks many Spanish learners carry from school, fear of making mistakes, shame around accent, imposter syndrome, and how these show up in meetings, presentations, calls, and everyday professional conversations. This episode is for Spanish professionals who: Know a lot of English but freeze when it matters Overthink grammar instead of expressing ideas Worry about being judged by colleagues or native speakers Feel less confident in English than they are in Spanish Want to sound like themselves in English, not a “perfect” version From Lost to the River is the podcast for Spanish professionals who want to stop hiding behind perfectionism and start speaking with confidence, clarity, and presence.
