Let’s talk about something real…⁠ Fear. Doubt. Uncertainty.⁠

They have a sneaky way of showing up anytime we’re considering a change, especially when it’s tied to our careers or sense of purpose.⁠ 

Dr. Shawnté Elbert knows that feeling. When life threw her a curveball, she realized she had a choice: let fear run the show or practice something different.⁠ 

Her choice? Inhale faith. Exhale fear.⁠

It’s not just a one-time thing. It’s a practice and a mantra—a way of moving forward even when the next step feels unclear.  With honesty, humor, and heart, Shawnté shares how she navigated big life pivots, embraced uncertainty, and discovered the value of rewriting her story. Her path is a reminder that fear often signals growth, not failure.⁠

If you're standing at a crossroads, feeling unsure of what’s next, this conversation will meet you right where you are and inspire you to take your next tiny, brave step forward.⁠
