Dear friend I can do it afraid… and the truth is, I did. As I celebrate the birth of my second book, I Can Do It Afraid, and feel it beginning to make its way into the world, I find myself reflecting on the journey that brought me here. This book didn’t arrive all at once. It emerged—step by s...

After the excitement fades, you may experience a moment
when you quietly wonder:
“Does this mean I wasn’t meant to do this?”
When starting felt magical.
When the idea felt certain.
When the dream felt effortless.
And now it feels… hard.
But difficulty isn’t a sign you were wrong.
It’s a sign you moved from imagining
to building.
Butterflies don’t question the journey
when the wind shifts.
They adjust.
Growth always feels glamorous in the beginning.
And uncomfortable in the middle.
That discomfort doesn’t mean stop.
It means you’re stretching into something bigger.

When we first begin a dream,
it feels electric.
We’re inspired.
Certain.
Almost invincible.
We imagine the finish line.
We picture the applause.
We see only possibility.
And then… reality arrives.
The work feels harder.
The doubt grows louder.
The excitement softens.
This is the part no one talks about.
The middle.
The place where courage becomes less about inspiration
and more about commitment.
In I Can Do It Afraid, this is the moment when excitement meets uncertainty.
And it doesn’t mean you were wrong to begin.
It means you’re building something real.

When we were children, we tried things before we felt ready.
We rode the bike.
We raised our hand.
We made new friends.

Somewhere along the way, we started waiting.
Waiting to feel confident.
Waiting to feel certain.
Waiting to feel fearless.

But what if fear was never the problem?
What if the real work is learning to move with it?

I Can Do It Afraid isn’t just a message for children.
It’s for anyone standing at the edge of something new —
wondering if they’re enough.

You don’t have to feel fearless to begin.
You just have to decide.

03/17/2026

The leap gets seen.
The decision doesn’t.

But that’s where everything changes.

Have you ever felt that shift?

03/12/2026

There’s a stage before bravery that we don’t talk about enough.
It’s the waffling.
The circling.
The rehearsing.
The “maybe next year.”
The “what if it doesn’t work?”

And then one day — almost quietly — we stop negotiating.
Not because fear disappeared.
Not because certainty arrived.
But because staying the same became more uncomfortable than changing.

That’s the deciding moment.

Butterflies don’t migrate on a whim.
They respond to signals.

I believe we do too.
The leap is visible.
But the decision?
That happens before anyone sees it.

My book, I Can Do It Afraid, explores that sacred space —
the moment we stop waffling and start becoming.
Have you ever felt that shift?

The truth about beginning?
It rarely feels bold.
It rarely feels powerful.
It rarely feels certain.
It feels small.

It feels like:
• Raising your hand when your voice shakes.
• Submitting the application before you feel ready.
• Saying yes before you feel qualified.

We often imagine courage as loud.
But most of the time, it’s quiet.

It’s simply the decision to move.
Even while your heart beats a little faster.

Growth doesn’t require confidence first.
It requires willingness.
And willingness is enough to begin.
💛 What’s one small step you’ve taken recently — even if you felt unsure?

“Today I celebrate every woman who has shaped my world — the ones who taught me strength, showed me kindness, challenged me to grow, and inspired me to dream bigger. Your courage, wisdom, and love continue to impact my life. Today and every day, I honor the power, resilience, and brilliance of women everywhere.”

My upcoming children’s book, I Can Do It Afraid, explores this idea in a way that speaks to both children and adults.
Because growth never asks us to feel ready.
It asks us to begin.
This book began with a question.
What do we tell children about fear?
Do we teach them to avoid it?
Silence it?
Be embarrassed by it?
Or do we teach them that fear can sit in the passenger seat —
but it doesn’t get to drive?
I wrote I Can Do It Afraid because I needed that reminder too.
Sometimes we write the books we wish we had.
💛 What message do you wish someone had told you as a child?

There’s a quiet kind of bravery we don’t talk about enough. It’s not the kind that earns applause.
It’s the kind that happens internally.
It’s the parent sending their child into a new classroom.
The entrepreneur launching something uncertain.
The person having a hard conversation.
The child stepping onto a stage for the first time.
Fear and courage are not opposites.
They often walk together.
This is the heartbeat of I Can Do It Afraid.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more about how this story came to life.
What is one moment in your life when you did something afraid — and it changed you?

This little butterfly is standing at the threshold of a journey.
There is uncertainty.
There is distance.
There is fear.
Like many of us, she knows where she is meant to go — but not how the journey will unfold.
I Can Do It Afraid was born from this very human experience:
The moment before we begin.
The moment where doubt and possibility quietly coexist.
Nature does not doubt. Humans often do.

Peace rarely arrives as a grand moment.
More often, it shows up —as awareness, compassion, and the choices we make when things feel unsettled.

I shared some personal reflections from the recent lockdown I experienced in Mexico in my latest newsletter.
