If you’re about to do something scary—like launch your business, step on stage, or share your big idea publicly—this pep talk is for you. In this episode, I’m breaking down how to move forward even when you're afraid of messing up. We’ll talk about why fear means you care, how failure is actually part of success (hello, 16%!), and what to do if things go wrong. You'll also learn how to prep for worst-case scenarios like stumbling on your words, getting a tough question, or even falling—literally. Plus, I’ll walk you through how to run a simple “fault meeting” after the fact, so you can learn, recover, and keep going. You’re not alone in your fear—and you’re more ready than you think. Let’s do this!
