Episode Summary:
In this episode of Your Know-It-All BFF, we’re talking about the fear that keeps so many of us from fully stepping into our creativity and purpose. Capitalism has made us afraid to dream, constantly reminding us that bills come first and our passions come second. But what if we stopped letting fear, self-doubt, and outside expectations dictate our lives?

I dive into my personal journey—how I’ve let fear stop me, how I’m choosing to create without perfection, and why success isn’t about feeling fearless but about doing it anyway. From redefining how we approach discomfort to proving to ourselves that we’re already who we say we are, this episode is for anyone who’s ready to stop playing small and start showing up for their dreams.

💡 In This Episode, We’ll Cover:
✔️ How capitalism has made millennials afraid to chase non-traditional paths
✔️ Why I’m choosing to create daily—without perfection or overthinking
✔️ How fear shows up and tricks us into staying small
✔️ The reality of adulting & choosing joy even in uncertainty
✔️ The importance of pushing past discomfort to reach success
✔️ How to build confidence by proving to yourself that you’re that person
✔️ Why embarrassment is a choice and how to let go of it
✔️ The one challenge I’m giving you (and myself) to step outside our comfort zones

✨ Key Quote:
"You become confident by having undeniable proof that you are who you say you are. Outwork your self-doubt." — Alex Hormozi
