I’m shy.

Sometimes we think we’re “shy” or an “introvert”…sometimes there is uncomfortability in new surroundings, but oftentimes it’s FEAR.

  • Fear of the unknown
  • Fear of rejection
  • Fear of being called out
  • Fear of no one caring or responding or noticing your call to action.

And Fear is an OK emotion as long as you don’t let it cripple you from taking action and stepping into your purpose.

— > HONEST MOMENT < —

My husband and I have been in business together for 10 years. He’s surpassed every goal he set, achieved every rank and recognition opportunity offered. That’s a BIG shadow to be in. I’ve felt like I’ve had a calling to help people but I’ve found this MOUNTAIN of RESISTANCE that I can’t get around. I’ve spent time trying to dissect my past trying to find the root of it.

Then I realized that it was nothing more than the devil trying to keep me from stepping into my God Given Purpose.

He has been barreling down my neck with the spirit of fear in all aspects of my life — our marriage, our finances, our business, my wanting to help others through what we offer…EVERYTHING.

Once I called him on his SHIT, I felt a spirit of PEACE and CONFIDENCE come over me.

I drew a line in the sand and said NO MORE. I’m not perfect and I don’t have all the perfect answers, but I have a passion to help other women discover the best versions of themselves.

Fear can cripple us or it can be the catalyst needed to set us free (once we realize it and break free of its bind). Are you ready to be set free?
