Success isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment—it’s about stepping up, even when doubt creeps in. Bayleigh and guest Veronica Caldwell dive deep into the mindset shifts that turn fear into fuel and setbacks into stepping stones. As a past recipient of the Small Changes Big Shifts scholarship program, Veronica shares how the support and resources she received helped her embrace discomfort and step into her potential. Her journey proves that growth comes from action, not just planning, and that confidence is built in the doing. The path to success isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about taking the next right step, no matter how uncertain it feels.

Key Takeaways:

• Fear doesn’t mean stop—it’s a signal that you’re stepping outside your comfort zone, where the biggest growth happens.

• Clarity comes from taking action, not waiting for the perfect moment, so start where you are and trust that the next step will reveal itself.

• Setbacks are not failures but lessons that build resilience, strengthen your mindset, and guide you toward something even greater.

• Self-belief isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about trusting yourself to learn, adapt, and keep moving forward no matter what.

• True success comes from small, consistent actions over time, proving that steady progress is more powerful than a single big leap.
