Fear holds many of us back from taking the next step – whether in business or life. But here’s the truth: fear is normal, and it doesn’t have to control you. In this episode, I dive deep into the different types of fear that can paralyze us, from fear of failure to fear of rejection and why it’s important to move through fear – so you can finally start showing up for yourself and your business.
Key Takeaways:
- Fear is not the enemy. It’s just information from your body signaling uncertainty or potential threats. The key isn’t to eliminate fear – it’s to understand what kind of fear is holding you back and move forward anyway.
- Action vs. Movement. Overthinking keeps you stuck. Action is intentional and structured, but movement is what actually creates momentum. You don’t need all the answers to start – you just need to move. And if fear makes you freeze? Body doubling – having someone work alongside you or just keeping your hand – can help you push through and stay accountable.
- Balance strategy with execution. Over-planning can be just as harmful as rushing in without direction. The best approach? Reflect, prepare, commit – and then move forward.
- Embracing discomfort is the key to growth. The fear of the unknown is real, but growth happens when you learn to sit with uncertainty and keep going anyway. Clarity and confidence come from movement, not from thinking about moving.
