Are you waiting for someone else to make you feel loved, seen, or valued?

In this episode of Brave Moves, Julie DeLucca-Collins explores a powerful truth inspired by the idea: you can buy yourself flowers.

This isn’t just about self-care—it’s about self-worth.

If you’ve ever felt overlooked, unappreciated, or like you’re waiting for someone else to choose you, this episode will help you shift your mindset and take your power back.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

•  Why we often wait for validation from others 
•  How to stop outsourcing your happiness and self-worth 
•  The difference between self-love and seeking approval 
•  How to start choosing yourself without guilt 
•  Simple ways to create joy and fulfillment on your own 

Brave Move of the Day:

Do one thing for yourself… without waiting for someone else to do it.

Whether it’s:

•  buying yourself something meaningful 
•  celebrating your own wins 
•  resting without guilt 
•  or simply saying “I matter” 

Choose yourself—on purpose.

Key Reminder:

You don’t need to wait to be chosen.

You can choose yourself.

And that’s where confidence, joy, and freedom begin.

Have you ever lain awake at 2am asking yourself: Am I too old to start over? Did I waste too much time? What if I try again and still fail?

In this deeply personal episode of Brave Moves, I'm doing something I've never done before, I'm opening up about my own fears as a midlife woman entrepreneur. The ones that keep me up at night. The ones I've been almost too scared to say out loud.

Because I know I'm not the only one.

We're naming the five fears that haunt midlife women entrepreneurs most, exploring what neuroscience says about why fear gets louder as we get older (hint: it's not weakness, it's your brain being a good prediction machine), and uncovering the surprising truth that your deepest fears are actually pointing directly at your deepest desires.

By the end of this episode you'll have:

  • The most common fears midlife women entrepreneurs carry,  named openly and without shame

  • Neuroscience from Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett on why fear intensifies with age, and how to update it

  • Harvard & Stanford research proving why midlife is actually your entrepreneurial advantage

  • The 3-step Fear Audit to decode what your fears are really telling you, and your next brave move
