The Real Reason You're Holding Back From Getting What You Want

You know that moment when you want to raise your hand, share your idea, or say yes to something that scares you, but you don’t? In this episode, I’m digging into what’s actually happening in those moments and why your brain thinks it’s helping by keeping you quiet. This isn’t just about fear. It’s about the subtle, sneaky ways we stay stuck in the name of safety.

If you’ve been playing it small or second-guessing your next move, this one’s for you. I’m sharing what to look for, how to shift out of stuck mode, and what it takes to override the part of you that just wants comfort.

In this episode, I’ll cover:

1. How your brain tricks you into thinking inaction is the safer option
2. What to pay attention to in those “I want to but…” moments
3. Why choosing discomfort on purpose is key to getting what you want
