What if fear isn’t the red flag we’ve been taught to run from… but the signal that expansion is near?

In this deeply personal and politically urgent episode, I open up about how fear has been showing up for me lately—as a lawyer, a business owner, and a mom—and why it’s time we stop letting it run the show.

We talk about:– How fear is baked into the systems we’re here to change– Why recognizing fear is the first step to reclaiming your power– What it looks like to lead despite fear, especially in a time when silence is compliance

I also walk you through my 3-part Fear Repatterning Ritual:Recognize. Reclaim. Reempower....with raw stories from the front lines of entrepreneurship, advocacy, and visibility.

If you’ve been afraid to speak out, grow your business, or rise as a leader—this one’s for you.

If fear’s been keeping your mission small, here’s your moment:It’s time to rise.My Soul-to-Scale Mapping Session helps changemakers like you move from frozen to forward.It’s clarity. It’s energetic leadership. It’s strategy rooted in power.
