🎙️ Podcast Show Notes Introduction

The fastest way to lose trust on a production is not by making a mistake, it's by forgetting where your role begins and ends. In this episode, Jessica Steinrock and Claire Warden share honest stories from their own careers about the times they overstepped, why it happened, and what those experiences taught them. Together, they explore the pressure many new intimacy professionals feel to constantly prove their value, the temptation to say yes to everything, and why true confidence comes from serving the production instead of your ego. If you have ever wondered whether you were doing too much, stepping into someone else's lane, or struggling to balance confidence with collaboration, this episode will give you practical tools to navigate those moments with greater clarity.
