Fear says, "But wait, honey, don’t go!"

Published 4 months ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Fear is like the worst kind of toxic ex. Clingy. Manipulative. Knows exactly what to say to keep you feeling stuck.

It whispers, “Stay here. It’s safe. You don’t really need to put yourself out there, right?”

It gaslights you with “You’re not actually ready yet. You should wait a little longer.”

And the second you try to leave? “Babe, don’t go. You’ll regret this.”

Truth: Your fear is lying to you. And the longer you listen, the longer you stay exactly where you are.

So, what’s it gonna be? Are you breaking up with your fear and making moves?

Or will you let it sweet-talk you into another year of playing small?

Next week I'm hosting a challenge. The F*ck Fear Challenge starts Monday. We go Live at 11:15 AM EST.

3 days. No more excuses.

Get ready to say "bye-bye fear".

Didn’t read Friday’s email? No worries. I got you. So... WTF is...

a breath and a link (if you’re curious)

Hey all, I’ve been meaning to write you.Not because I had a perfectly packaged update, but because I didn’t, and I finally realized... that’s the point. The truth? I’ve been working through some family and business things.Life things.Hard anniversaries. While navigating the kind of shifts that don’t ask for a rebrand, but do ask you to restructure how you move.Not quite a pivot. More like a parallel hop. All of it? Created to give me some breathing room. And before I get into any of that, I...
