25. Fear, FOBU, and Finding the Courage to Say Yes

Send us a text

If you’ve ever made a big, bold decision and then immediately thought, What the heck did I just do?!—this one’s for you.

In this episode of No Cape Required, I’m joined by Sherry Yellin, an executive coach and leadership expert who shares the story of how a $35,000 investment (gulp!) completely changed the trajectory of her life and business.

From sitting on her office floor paralyzed by fear to leading with confidence and clarity, Sherry takes us behind the scenes of what real transformation looks like—and spoiler alert: it’s not always pretty.

We talk about:

• The neuroscience behind fear and why your brain resists change (not growth!)
• FOBU: Fear of Being Uncomfortable, Uncertain, or Unpopular—and how to overcome it
• How tunnel vision in your brain keeps you stuck (and how to get out of it)
• Simple tools that re-activate your decision-making power when you feel frozen
• Why investing in yourself isn’t just powerful—it’s generational

Sherry reminds us that fear isn’t the enemy—it’s a signal. And if we’re willing to move through discomfort, that’s where the magic and growth really happens.

Whether you're at a crossroads in your career or quietly wondering what’s next for me?, this episode will give you the clarity—and the courage—you need to take the next right step.
