In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain and letting you into a raw and very real moment. I’ve been sitting in the tension between going for it and holding back—specifically around submitting my TED Talk application. Even with encouraging feedback and signs pointing toward yes, fear and doubt still creep in. What if it's not good enough? What if I’m not ready?

This is an honest reflection on what it means to feel vulnerable in the face of potential—and how I’m learning to shift from scarcity to abundance, from fear to trust.

You'll hear about:

• The emotional rollercoaster of pursuing something big and meaningful

• Why positive feedback doesn’t always quiet inner doubt

• The difference between intuition and fear—and how to tell which one’s speaking

• How I’m reframing the experience through an abundance mindset

• A reminder that even when you feel stuck, you’re still growing

If you’ve ever felt paralyzed in the face of opportunity, this one’s for you. Let’s navigate that stuck place together—and remind ourselves that courage isn’t the absence of fear, it’s moving forward with it.
