22. Find Courage When You Feel Stuck
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Have you ever placed a dream on the shelf because you didn’t feel “ready”?
In this episode, I’m sharing the story of how I almost talked myself out of becoming a paid speaker- not because I lacked skill… but because I carried an insecurity about my voice for years.
As the daughter of immigrant parents, Spanish was my first language. When I moved away to college, comments about my accent and grammar slowly planted doubt and I began believing I wasn’t polished enough to be paid for speaking.
So I waited.
Until one simple sentence from a coach changed everything:
“You say you are one.”
This episode is about courage, not the dramatic, movie-scene kind but the quiet, identity-shifting kind that changes your life from the inside out.
If you’ve been circling the same dreams year after year, feeling stuck, burned out, or secretly unfulfilled… this conversation will challenge you and give you practical ways to begin.
It will help you answer..
- Where am I still waiting to feel "ready"?
- What dream have I quietly placed on the shelf?
- Am I surrounding myself with the right people who model courage?
You’ll Walk Away With:
- A new understanding of why courage usually shows up quietly, not dramatically
- Clarity on the insecurity that might be silently holding you back
- A simple way to start building courage without overwhelming yourself
- A mindset shift that replaces perfection with progress
