Let’s take a minute to talk about bravery.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. A few months ago I had an epitome of sorts about my past and some of my life experiences. It rocked my world, to be honest. And I shared a tiny bit of that on Instagram. (You can read that post here). But sharing that was so hard to do. I wanted to talk about it, I wanted to share my experience and what I learned in the hopes that it might help someone else going through something similar…

But I was so scared to push that post button.

What if no one understood what I was trying to say? What if people were mean to me? And worst of all, what if no one cared?

I’m glad I found the determination to share that post, because the response I received was very positive, and it did make me feel better to have that out. But I still have this fear of rejection that keeps me from telling the rest of my story.

Recently, I’ve been seeing some of my past clients open up about their struggles. One client recently shared her struggles with getting pregnant, and another wrote this post about her journey with loving herself just as she is. I’ve been so inspired by their bravery. It’s hard to put that out there, and yet here they are, being so open and vulnerable for the whole world to see.

Being brave comes in lots of different forms. It’s putting your struggles out there for the whole world to see, and it’s taking a chance on a pursuing your dreams, and it’s a million things in between. Being brave is hard for me, because I’m scared of failing in so many ways. But that’s part of the journey isn’t it? Learning to overcome those fears is part of being brave. So take it one step at a time, and don’t ever let anyone tell you it’s not enough. <3
