This Daring Adventure

Choosing Yourself


Listen Later

How many years have you spent quietly putting yourself on hold?

Waiting for confidence. Waiting for certainty. Waiting for the “right” time. Waiting for someone—or something—to finally choose you.

In this episode of This Daring Adventure, I’m talking about one of the sneakiest ways women stay stuck: waiting to be chosen instead of choosing themselves.

We explore why so many women postpone their dreams, desires, and next chapter—and how fear, people-pleasing, and the primitive brain keep us waiting for permission.

If you’ve ever thought:

  • I don’t know what I want
  • I’ll do it when I feel more confident
  • Maybe next year
  • I’m too old / too late / not ready

This episode is for you.

You’ll learn:

✨ Why waiting feels safe—but quietly becomes your life

✨ The hidden cost of postponing yourself

✨ Why confidence comes after action—not before

✨ How to stop waiting for permission and start trusting yourself

✨ Small ways to begin choosing yourself now

Your next chapter doesn’t begin when you feel ready.

It begins the moment you decide to stop waiting—and start choosing yourself.

Journal Question:

Where in my life am I waiting to be chosen—and what would choosing myself look like instead?
