Are you waiting for the “perfect moment” to chase your dreams, or hesitating because of fear? In this episode, I share why you must act before you feel ready and how I built confidence after being fired from corporate America. I also break down how a 30 day plan helped me rebuild self-trust, why fear signals you’re on the right path, and how to find the right “room” of supporters, like those I found during the pandemic. Get ready to trade hesitation for action and unlock the confident version of yourself. In This Episode, You Will Learn Why fear signals you’re on the right path. How to stop overthinking and start doing. The 30 day plan that helped me rebuild self-trust after setbacks. Why waiting for confidence actually keeps you stuck. How to reframe setbacks as the setup for your next breakthrough.
