When Fear Becomes Normal
When fear becomes your norm, it’s often because you’ve jumped ahead in your mind...
“Don’t give in to your fears, if you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart.” ~ Paulo Coelho
When you’ve spent years shaping yourself around someone else’s needs, fears become familiar companions.
The fear of being alone.
The fear of starting over.
The fear of being “too much” or “not enough.”
But beneath all those fears is a whisper...
Your heart - still beating, still loving, still waiting to be heard.
It’s the part of you that remembers who you were before you were silenced.
The part that knows what peace feels like.
The part that is aching for you to say: “I am worthy of the love and respect I give so freely to others.”
When we let fear drive the bus, we stop hearing the truth of our soul.
But when we pause... breathe... and choose to listen inwardly,
We find strength. Clarity. And a path back home to ourselves.
This is your invitation:
Speak gently to your heart.
Become your own source of safety.
Let self-love be the foundation on which you rebuild.
You deserve the love you’ve been giving away.
And it starts with saying yes to you.

But then fear crept in. Doubt settled. And suddenly, the focus shifted - from your why to what if?
Fear and doubt will ensure that you talk yourself out of your new venture even before you start.
As a leader, you are the tone setter.
