Ep 93: Starting Scared
Description
Starting over sounds exciting… until it’s time to actually start.
In this episode of Cup of Conversation, we unpack what it really means to begin when fear, doubt, and uncertainty are in the room. Whether you’re thinking about quitting a job, starting a new career, reviving a plan you buried years ago, or simply trying again after falling off, this conversation is for you.
We talk about why starting feels scary even when change is what we want, how to tell the difference between temporary discomfort and a deeper call to purpose, and why playing it “safe” can quietly cost you growth, peace, and opportunity. We challenge the idea that motivation will magically show up and instead explore how habits, discipline, and clarity move you forward even when confidence hasn’t caught up yet.
This episode also breaks down real-life self-sabotage patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, and comparison, and helps you identify your personal “start blocker,” whether that’s fear, money, time, confidence, or lack of clarity. Most importantly, we talk about removing shame from restarting and normalizing the fact that progress isn’t always linear.
As we prepare to step into 2026, this conversation invites you to get honest with yourself, write the life you want even if it feels unattainable, and take one intentional step forward—scared and all.
If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment, this is your reminder: you don’t need permission to begin.
☕️ Let’s talk about starting scared.
