You know, as I sat down to write this story, I found myself asking… What do I want to say? What do I have to share? What is the value of sharing it? For those that read my stories, you will notice a pattern of some from my past, along with some of the present. …

Have you ever said something with positive intent, but were met with criticism after doing so? Since starting my travels and my deeper dive into the origins, reasons, and tangible impacts of fear, becoming more aware than ever of my own fears is a must. I mean, how can I share expertise on a subject …
It has been quite eye opening for me to realize that for my entire life, I spent it in a constant state of either running away from, or towards something. Over the past few years, definitely erring on the side of running towards, rather than away, was an enormous shift in my life that I’m …
Holding on to a memory of hurting a loved one can carry with it guilt, regret, and a fractured sense of who we are. Carrying quiet messages in our mind about ourselves…. 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗼 …

Early in 2017 I was working on a proposal that would grow my team ~30% and nearly double our coverage area. This was a great opportunity for the company, and my career, to say the least. I was personally enthusiastic about the challenge, and the opportunity to spearhead it. I remember thinking, “𝑤𝑒’𝑣𝑒 𝑔𝑜𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑠.” …
I’ve written the headline, “𝑾𝒉𝒚 𝑴𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝑭𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝑭𝒆𝒂𝒓?” over and over again, followed by a pause, because part of me said to discuss the topic now, another part, wait until later. When we think of “𝑓𝑒𝑎𝑟”, it has many synonyms, like 𝑎𝑛𝑥𝑖𝑒𝑡𝑦, 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑦, 𝑢𝑛𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒, 𝑑𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑑, 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑛, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑑𝑜𝑢𝑏𝑡. These are present in our every …
As Tony Robbins said, “𝑤𝑒 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑜𝑏𝑠𝑒𝑠𝑠𝑒𝑑 𝑤𝑖𝑡ℎ ℎ𝑎𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑦, 𝑎 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑠𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑙, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦𝑒𝑡, 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑜𝑥𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦, 𝑤𝑒 𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑢𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑟𝑡𝑎𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑦 (𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒)… 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑜𝑓 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑠𝑒, 𝑤𝑒 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑐𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑢𝑟𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑠 𝑤𝑒 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒”.
