We all know that nagging little voice that tries to convince us to stay in our comfort zone. You know the one—it’s that “little inner critic” telling you, “Nah, you can’t do that. It’s too scary.” Yeah, that voice. I like to call it the “little b*tch voice.” 😅 But here’s the deal: if you’re going to Do Life Big, you’ve got to learn how to conquer that voice and step into the life you deserve.

Your brain is wired to keep you safe, to keep you comfy. But everything you’ve ever dreamed of? It’s sitting right on the other side of that fear. 🏔️ Will Smith said it best: “God put all the amazing things in life on the other side of fear.” And guess what? Everyone experiences fear. It’s not just you! The difference between staying stuck and living your best life is learning to push through it. 💥

When you feel fear creeping in, that’s not a sign to run—it’s a signal that you’re on the edge of growth. 🙌 Imagine it: the sweaty palms, the racing heart… that’s your body saying, “Hey, you’re about to level up!” So next time your inner voice whispers, “Don’t do it, it’s too risky,” what do you do? Do it anyway. 🚀

I recently had the chance to apply to speak at my kids’ school. My gut reaction? “NO WAY.” But guess what? I submitted the form. And yeah, I’m still waiting to hear back, but the point is, I acted despite the fear. That’s how we grow, my friend.

So, What Now?

Recognize that your inner voice will always try to keep you safe, but it doesn’t tell the truth. Next time it says, “Don’t start that project” or “Sleep in, you can work out tomorrow,” do the opposite. That’s how you reclaim your power and show that voice who’s boss. 💪
