I want people to just embrace that fear when the heart is saying yes.

The brain is saying no.

The fear has never gone away, but I've learned to channel it, and now I thrive on it.

But I just knew through the lessons that my parents taught me, family and faith, that

you got to choose those first.

I just said, if this is God's plan, I'll get the call back, and I'm so much more comfortable

talking about my faith now, which has been a huge blessing to find that courage.

I was a nobody, and he literally encouraged my heart.

Here's why I want to bring it up.

You're doing great.

You're at the top of your game.

Everybody knows that you're legit.

Did you feel lonely?

Oh my gosh.

I think that was the, that's the word that I try not to say because it tends to make me

get choked up.

I was broken.

Right.

Broken at the fact that my leadership chose, they made decisions to not support.

I now know why God put me on this earth.

And that is to stand up for others who are afraid.

I've never been more proud of myself, even though I don't like to say that.
