Summary

We’ve all felt it—that knot in your stomach, the second-guessing, the urge to play small. Fear shows up fast and loud anytime you’re about to do something big. But what if fear isn’t something to avoid… what if it’s the exact sign you’re on the right path?

In today’s episode, I break down fear in a way you may have never heard before. We’ll dive into the real reason fear exists, the difference between fear of failure and fear of success, and how to reframe fear as fuel instead of a roadblock. This isn’t just mindset talk—this is about stepping into the version of you that’s been playing in the background for way too long.

If you’ve been feeling pulled toward something greater, but fear is holding you back… this episode is for you.

What you’ll learn:

Why fear often means you’re exactly where you need to be
The surprising difference between fear of failure and fear of success
How to take aligned action—even when your palms are sweaty
A story of someone who leaned into fear—and changed their entire life
