What If YOU Just TRIED? Leaning Into Possibility Over Fear


Listen Later

Episode Summary

You ever feel like your brain is screaming “what if it all goes wrong?!” every time you think about trying something new? Same. In this episode, I’m getting honest about my own fears of being seen, how trauma shaped that, and what I do when I feel stuck between wanting more and fearing what might happen if I actually go for it.


Spoiler: Your brain is a meaning-making machine. And we can work with it instead of letting it run the show.

This one is for you if you're teetering on the edge of a big (or small) decision, craving change, but feeling paralyzed by the what ifs.


✨ Why your brain hates uncertainty — and how it tries to “protect” you

✨ How worst-case scenario planning can be your superpower

✨ The magic of imagining a best-case (or even neutral) outcome
✨ What it means to follow that tiny whisper in your heart
✨ Real talk: why I’m leaning into scary things like launching this podcast and maybe even going to Europe 👀

What’s something you’ve been low-key avoiding because it feels too big or too uncertain?
Now ask yourself: What’s the WORST case? The BEST case? The NEUTRAL case?


What’s one tiny, no-pressure action you could try today — just to see?


Highlights of this episode :

🧠 My ADHD brain, logistics, and why I’m weirdly great in a crisis
💡 A glimpse into how I coach clients through fear, clarity, and aligned decision-making
🧳 What’s been on my heart lately
🎙️ Why this podcast even exists


If this episode lit a fire in you or made you feel a little less alone — I got you.
