    • How to recognize fear as a sign you’re growing
    • What it means to lead with vulnerability and beginner’s mind
    • An invitation to take the leap — whatever your leap may be

    “There are women holding entire worlds together before 9 AM, and still questioning if they’ve done enough.”

    If you’re launching something, navigating fear, or simply trying to find your spark — this episode will remind you: You are not alone.
