Staying Safe Is Keeping You Stuck

Hey friends!

I hope you love this pep talk, it's all about something I've been working through myself… the courage to step into your own depth.

Here's the thing I've noticed - as women, we've been conditioned to gas ourselves up in really superficial ways.

You know what I mean: the "boss babe" affirmations, the surface-level "you go girl" encouragement that feels more like a pat on the head than actual empowerment.

But what happens when we dare to look deeper?

In this pep talk, I open up about my own journey of stepping into my power - including how I spent two whole years preparing for a major life change that ultimately led me to move across the country to Florida (a place I'd only spent 13 total days in before making it my home!).

I share:

• Why the "safe" space of avoiding your depth might actually be holding you back

• What happened when I finally gave myself permission to question the narratives I'd been telling myself

• The unexpected freedom that comes from embracing vulnerability and being willing to fail

If you've been feeling stuck in any area of your life - career, relationships, where you live, or the vision you have for your future - this message might be exactly what you need to hear right now.

One of my favorite things I share—"We're not questioning from a place of shame. We're questioning from a place of potential."
