170: Fear, Growth, and Saying No: Lessons from My 12-Month Experiment
Update: 2025-09-06
Description
This week I’m getting very real with you about something we all face as working moms building a business: fear.
- Fear of rejection.
- Fear of not being approved of.
- Fear of doing something that feels uncomfortable but is necessary for growth.
I share a very personal story about how even something as simple as saying “no” can feel terrifying, and how I’m learning to check in with my gut (through Human Design) and take action anyway.
In this episode, we’ll explore:
- Why most of our default reactions come from fear (and how to shift to love-based action).
- How discomfort isn’t a sign you’re on the wrong path but often the exact signal you’re growing.
- My 12-month experiment to practice “doing the scary thing” and leaning into what feels uncomfortable.
- A personal example of how saying no revealed where I still needed growth.
- Why trusting yourself is the most important step in creating a life and business on your terms.
If you’ve ever felt stuck in fear or struggled with people-pleasing, this one’s for you.
