Summary
Taking risks is terrifying, but staying in the same place out of fear is even worse. In this episode, I dive into why we’re so afraid to take risks, what’s really holding us back, and how to push past the fear to chase what we truly want. If you’ve ever felt stuck or scared to make a move, this one’s for you.
Let’s talk about risk-taking, personal growth, and why the biggest risk is not taking one at all.
