The word later has stolen more dreams than failure ever could . Later is why so many people stay stuck in anxieties patterns . Later is why confidence never builds , but not this time . In 90 days , you can see that you're capable of more than you believed . That's why I created the 90 Day Courage Challenge To help you finally move past later and into action .
Hi and welcome to Blackout the Noise a space for teens and young adults who are ready to quiet the noise of anxiety , self-doubt and overthinking and start building a life filled with confidence , courage and purpose . I'm Jessica Davis , a licensed therapist , mindset coach and the creator of the Courage Method . I specialize in helping teens and young adults with anxiety , overthinking and low self-esteem , and if you want practical tools to help you in this fight , please download the Anxiety Survival Toolkit . You'll find the link in the show notes . Before we dive in , remember this podcast is here to support and guide you , but it is not a replacement for talking to someone in real life . If you're struggling with your mental health , please reach out to a therapist , and if you're in crisis , contact emergency services or a local helpline . You don't have to go through it alone . All right , let's cut through the noise and get started .
I see it every day as a therapist clients who say I'll apply for jobs or I'll have that hard conversation , I'll get my license . But weeks turn into years and they're still in the same place . And I've done it too . I've told myself for a year I'd launch this very program and I didn't . I was afraid of failing , afraid no one would join . Here's a mistake almost everyone makes . Believing courage comes once fear goes away . It doesn't . It comes from taking action while you're afraid . That's what this challenge is built on . This isn't a program where you're handed a plan and left to figure it out on your own . I understand that that type of program doesn't work . That's why we build it together . And the first week we'll create your personalized courage list and after that I'll be in the community every single day , multiple times a day , giving you tips , answering questions and tailoring support so you don't get stuck . If you need motivation , you'll get it . If you need extra training , I'll create it . If you need accountability , you'll get it . If you need extra training , I'll create it . If you need accountability
, you'll have it .
Jessica DavisThis is about progress . You'll actually feel , not just ideas that fade after a week and if you're thinking well , this is only for teens and young adults . No , this is for anyone who's wanting to start moving forward , who wants momentum , who wants change . Here's the roadmap for in your 90 days , so you'll know exactly where you're heading . Month one will be building your list and taking your first step . Together , we'll map out your personalized courage list and get your first real wins on the board .
Jessica DavisMonth two is about building momentum . This is where small actions start stacking into confidence . You'll learn how to push through fear without spiraling into overthinking . And month three breakthrough . Now you're ready for your bigger level challenges , the ones you used to avoid , and you won't be tackling them alone . You'll have the structure , the community and me right there with you . And the best part by the time month three comes around , courage doesn't feel like effort anymore . It will feel as if it's a part of you . And the best part by the time month three comes around , courage doesn't feel like effort anymore . It will feel as if it's a part of you . Here's how the levels work . Your level one might be sending a text you've been avoiding . Someone else's level one might be going back to class . After skipping , you're in level five . That's where everything changes . Things like auditioning for a play , applying for that internship or finally starting a project you've been dreaming about , and here's the part no one talks about . There's one level of courage almost everyone avoids . It's the one that makes or breaks your growth . We'll dig in it together in the challenge .
For me , one of those steps was writing a book . I have honestly always wanted to write one , even since I was a teenager , and I always told myself that I would start it and do it , and I would start it and stop feeling as if I wasn't good enough or feeling as if I still had so much to learn before putting my thoughts down on paper . But eventually I realized that this isn't something you ever feel ready for . This is something you just create , and as you're creating it will change and manifest , and that that's okay , that starting and continuing is the real journey in it . And that's exactly what this challenge is all about . You don't wait until you're confident . You build your confidence by taking those first shaky steps and realizing you can .
But before we break down the reasons , your brain will try to talk you out of this . Let me share the biggest mistake I made when I tried to do it alone . I had no one to hold me accountable and no one to cheer me on . That's why community matters here . Trying to pursue something that you've never done before can feel really isolating and it can feel as if you're on some type of island on your own . But a community can push you . It can encourage you when you feel stuck , it can be there when you are struggling with trying to figure out what to do next and it can help you push through that insecurity or the doubts that come into play .
Jessica DavisYou might be thinking I don't have time . These steps don't take hours . Sometimes it's a five minute action for this , but in all honesty , you put time into things that you really want , and I think that's the beauty of this . I think in the beginning people will say they don't have time and you make time , just like you'll make time for the shows that you want to watch or the people you want to see . We do make time , and I think you'll find yourself making more time for a program like this . You might be asking yourself what if I fail ? I will say honestly that's the point you will , and that's okay . That's the point you
will and that's okay .
Jessica DavisIn college , I butchered a presentation so badly the room went silent and it was the kind of silence that they felt bad for me , so that's even more brutal . But the world didn't end . That failure gave me proof that I could handle hard moments and keep going . And you're also probably thinking can't I just do this on my own ? And you're also probably thinking can't I just do this on my own ? And of course you can . But most people make a list , get excited for a week and then quit . This program works because I'm here with you every day and you've got a group of people doing the same thing trying to figure things out . Along the journey with you , I've seen the power of community in every part of my life , from basketball teammates to navigating infertility issues , to raising two kids under two . Community is carrying me through it all . That's what you'll find here a space where you're not alone , where every attempt is celebrated and where progress is actually
visible .
Jessica DavisThe 90 Day Courage Challenge starts October 3rd . That's your line in the sand and if you're one of the first 10 people to join , you'll get a free 30-minute jumpstart coaching call with me . We'll either build your courage list together or break down the biggest blocks holding you back . That call could change how your 90 day begins . But more than that , I want you to understand my vision . No matter if you're the first 10 or the 11th or , hopefully , 40th person , I am in this with you . My goal and plan is that every single person who joins this sees the benefit and proof in this community . It's $97 for the entire quarter about $1 a day . But instead of this being something that you buy and forget about , this investment changes how you see yourself , because in 90 days , you won't just feel different . You'll have proof . For some of you , it'll mean you finally made that phone call . For others , it's finishing that application , raising your hand in class , speaking up in a relationship or applying for that promotion that you've been
wanting .
