steeling her nerves
nel tentativo di placare i nervi


Explanation:
I think "steeling your nerves" means to both "get ready to face sth" and "get your anxiety under control\keep calm", but I can't find a solution in Italian to combine them.

"nel tentativo di placare i nervi"
"preparandosi ad affrontare qualcuno\qualcosa"

steeling her nerves
mantenendo una calma ferrea (inossidabile)


Explanation:
steeling her nerves = mantenendo una calma ferrea

gioco di parole con "steel", un acciaio inossidabile, una lega ferrosa composta principalmente da ferro e carbonio

L'acciaio è una lega ferrosa composta principalmente da ferro e carbonio, quest'ultimo in percentuale non superiore al 2,06%; oltre tale limite, le proprietà del materiale cambiano e la lega assume la denominazione di ghisa.
