My worst live event nightmare came true—and I'm sharing the raw, unfiltered story while it's still fresh. I got kicked off my own Zoom workshop four times in front of 300 people during a live event for Canva World Tour. We're talking audio failures, connection drops, and me literally sweating through my clothes while 1600+ registrants watched the chaos unfold. But here's what happened next: my community held me together, I made three tiny pivots that saved the workshop, and I learned how to let go of control in real time. If you've ever been terrified of tech failing you during a live moment, this episode will show you exactly how to recover with grace (and why redundancy beats perfection every single time).

Things I cover inside this episode:

• The 3 tiny pivots I made in the moment that saved my workshop when everything was falling apart (including the unthinkable move I made as an over-preparer)
• Why redundancy beats perfection every time—and the specific backup systems I wish I'd had in place before going live
• How to let go when control is completely gone (and why gripping tighter actually makes you slower to respond)
• The mindset shift from "perform" to "serve" that calmed my nervous system enough to keep going
• Why your community is your safety net—and how to build that culture long before you need it (shoutout to Deb and Nicole!)
