Episode Title: This Version of Me Requires More From Me

In this honest and deeply personal episode of The She Shows Up Podcast, Andrea B. Flintroy shares a truth she's been wrestling with in real time: this version of me requires more from me.

After navigating the loss of loved ones, experiencing hair loss, and feeling the weight of a bigger purpose, Andrea realized she wasn't avoiding growth—she was playing it safe. Although she was showing up consistently, she wasn't fully showing out. In this conversation, she opens up about the fear of being more visible, the temptation to retreat when things get uncomfortable, and the decision to stop shrinking back from the life she knows she's meant to live.

Through personal stories, honest reflection, and a reminder from Peter's walk on water, Andrea explores what it really means to keep moving forward when fear tells you to go back to what's familiar.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The difference between showing up and fully showing out
• How to recognize when you're playing it safe without realizing it
• Why fear often disguises itself as comfort
• The difference between fear and discernment
• How loss and life's unexpected changes can prepare you for your next season
• What "more" looks like in your own life and how to take one step toward it

Andrea also answers a listener question about why we retreat after taking a brave step and shares practical encouragement for staying committed even when your confidence wavers. She leaves you with this week's Show Up Challenge: Stay Out of the Boat—a simple invitation to identify one area where you've been pulling back and choose one courageous step forward this week.

This episode is for every woman who has ever thought:

"I know I'm capable of more… so why do I keep holding myself back?"

You're not lazy.
You're not stuck.
You're not incapable.

You may simply be standing at the edge of the next version of yourself.

Show Up Challenge: Stay Out of the Boat
Key Takeaway: Growth doesn't happen the moment you step out—it happens when you choose not to retreat.

If this episode encouraged you, share it with a woman who needs the reminder that she doesn't have to have it all figured out before she moves forward. Be sure to follow, rate, and review The She Shows Up Podcast so more women can reclaim their identity, raise their standard, and show up fully in every season.

Because showing up isn't about becoming someone new—it's about having the courage to fully become the woman you've been all along.
