Fear and Taking Risks

When was the last time that you did something you were terrified to do? Maybe you put yourself out there online. Or sent a scary email. Maybe your first speaking engagement. Or you recorded a podcast… Or took a bold step toward your big idea.

So often we misinterpret the feeling of fear in our bodies as a sign to stop. That feeling is just your body protecting you. Your brain is literally designed to keep you safe. It doesn’t understand the difference between a lion chasing you and the discomfort of taking on something new. It’s up to YOU to look fear in the eye, give it a wink, and move forward anyways.

The confidence you build on the other side of facing the things that scare you is unmatched.

You won’t know what blessings are waiting for you on the other side of fear unless you lean into it.

Think about one bold action you are feeling called to take but have been paralyzed by fear. Then ask yourself the question:

 What is the BEST thing that could happen on the other side of releasing fear?

The business and life you desire does not come from waiting to have it all together. It comes from literally leaning into the things that scare you to death right now.

So, here’s my challenge for you: lean into something that scares you this week. Don’t put it off. What’s waiting on the other side is a version of you that will make you so freaking proud. 

She’s confident. 

She is bold. 

And she’s courageous in a way that you haven’t fully experienced.

I want that for you!

If you’re ready to look fear in the eyes + start taking action, Ep 317 of the Powerhouse Women Podcast is exactly what you need this week!
