Fear is normal. Here’s how to move past it.


Hi Reader,

If you’ve ever thought about starting your own business or you’ve already begun, chances are you’ve met these fears head-on:

  • Doubt: Will this even work?
  • Lack: What if I can’t make enough money?
  • Judgment: What will people think of me?

I’ve been there too. As a working mom with a demanding job and family responsibilities, I often wondered if I had what it took.

Here’s the truth I’ve learned:

Building a business is less about the *perfect* strategy and more about who you’re becoming in the process.

That’s what this week’s podcast is all about:

Overcoming Fear in Business: How to Build Certainty, Abundance, and Self-Acceptance

In this episode, I share:

  • Why building 'Business Owner Beliefs' (BOB) is key to moving forward
  • The 3 beliefs that help you counter fear: certainty, abundance, and self-acceptance
  • How my own journey as a mom, employee, and entrepreneur helped me rewire fear into fuel

If you’ve been struggling with fear, this is your reminder: it doesn’t mean you’re not cut out for business. It means you’re human. And you can learn to move through it.

Reader, 2025 is over. Revenue targets. Client milestones. Growth numbers. Missed them all. Yes, that's me. For a while, I avoided looking at the data because I didn't want to face the disappointment. But then, I realized that the gap between where I am and where I wanted to be isn't failure. It's feedback. In my latest podcast episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what 2025 actually looked like: 5 Unglamorous Lessons from Building a Business While Working Full-Time: 1. It takes WAY longer...

Reader, It's December 31st, and I just reviewed my 2025. Honestly? I didn't hit most of my goals: Revenue target? Nope. Client goals? Fell short. Growth I wanted? Not there yet. And for a moment, I felt disappointed. Like I'd failed somehow. But then, while facilitating my Create 2026 workshop this week, I had a realization: If I were already the sort of person who gets those results, I'd already have them. So the question isn't 'Why did I fail?' The question is: "Who do I need to become?"...

Reader, 2 days ago, our bathroom door lock stopped working. You know that moment when you turn the thumbturn and... nothing? It just spins uselessly. The door won't lock.
