In this episode, I get honest about something that’s held me back for years—fear. Not just the kind that shows up in obvious ways, but the quiet fear that lingers under the surface. The fear of being seen. The fear of judgment. The fear of not being enough.

This episode and more importantly this podcast almost didn’t exist because my own fear was that loud. But instead of running from it, I sat with it. I unpacked it. I recorded anyway.

I talk through my personal relationship with fear, how it’s shaped me, and why I’ve chosen to start looking at fear as a teacher—not something that controls me. I share the truth behind why it took me so long to launch this podcast, and how procrastination isn’t always laziness... sometimes, it’s just masked fear.

Whether you’re stuck in your head, doubting your next move, or putting something off that you know you’re meant to do—this one’s for you.

This is a conversation about choosing courage in the small moments. And realizing that everything you want? It’s on the other side of fear.
