Even if the fear’s still burbling in
your belly. Even if your Mean Girl
is shouting for you to stop. Even if
you are scared and want nothing
more than to curl up in a ball
and hide away from the world.
The saying is true: Everything you
want is on the other side of fear.
Which means: Everything you desire
requires you to feel the discomfort and
then put one foot in front of the other,
even while the discomfort might still
be raging and swirling inside you.
This requires courage
and commitment, but
DAMN is it worth it.
Being courageous and brave is
how we grow. And it’s how we
get where we want to go!
I really do get how hard it can feel,
beautiful. It’s so much easier to
choose comfort over courage. But...
If I chose comfort over courage I
would never have released two books.
If I chose comfort over courage I
would never have married Nick.
If I chose comfort over courage I
would never walk out on stage.
If I chose comfort over courage I
would never have started my podcast.
If I chose comfort over courage
I would never have created Path
To Freedom with my hubs.
If I chose comfort over courage I
would never have created all my
online programs, meditations,
products and mentorships.
would never have asked for help,
advice and support when it came to
step-parenting — a brand new skill
that I have had to learn from scratch.
It takes guts and tenacity to lean
into courage, I get it, but it’s
when we are stretched that we
experience the most evolution.
SO WHERE IN YOUR LIFE
RIGHT NOW CAN YOU
LEAN INTO DISCOMFORT?
Where do you need to step outside
of your comfort zone and shimmy
your way over to courage?
I still get nervous when I sense
that unsettling feeling that means
I’m inching out of my comfort
zone. But I’ve reframed it, so now
it also makes me excited because
it means I am about to grow, it
means I am stretching myself, and
it means I am about to become
an upgraded version of myself.
My operating system is about to
get a serious upgrade and that’s
something to get excited about.
So open your heart and together let’s
inspire women all over the world to
Open Wide to deep love, rocking
relationships and soulful sex.
Where in your life right now can
you lean into courage? Where
do you need to step out of your
comfort zone and shimmy
your way over to courage?
As always, I’m so incredibly
grateful that you’re here.
If I chose comfort over courage I
would never have posted a single
thing on social media, like, ever.
If I chose comfort over courage
I would never have grown my
business to where it is today.
If I chose comfort over courage I
would never have asked for help
in my business and hired a team
to support me and my vision.
If I chose comfort over courage I
