In this episode of the Build Strong Women Podcast, I’m talking about one of the biggest roadblocks that keeps women from becoming who they’re meant to be — fear. Whether it shows up as overthinking, procrastination, people-pleasing, or playing small, fear has a sneaky way of keeping us stuck in our comfort zones.

But here’s the truth: confidence isn’t the absence of fear — it’s learning to take action with fear. I’ll share how fear really works, why it holds us back, and four practical tools to help you move through it with courage and clarity. You’ll also hear a personal story about a time I almost let fear win, and how choosing bravery instead changed everything.

If you’ve ever felt stuck, scared to take the next step, or worried about what people might think, this episode will give you the mindset shift and motivation to take action anyway.
