Balancing Fear and Excitement in Pursuing Dreams

Send us a text

Hey friends! In this episode, I’m diving deep into something we all experience when we’re on the brink of something big—those moments when fear and excitement blur together. As I get closer to a dream I’ve had for over a decade finally coming true, I’m noticing just how intertwined those two emotions can be. And I’m not alone in that feeling, right?

I share some really personal reflections on how I’ve navigated fear—especially the kind that creeps in when life stretches you out of your comfort zone. From learning to sit with the unknown to fully owning the strength it took to rebuild my life, I’m getting honest about what it looks like to show up scared and do it anyway. This one’s for anyone who’s ever had a big dream and needed a little push to keep going. You’re going to feel seen and inspired—I promise.
