Last night I had the honour of speaking at The Magnetic Founder event, and I’ve been sitting with the feeling ever since.
I’ll be honest with you: I was nervous. That full-body, heart-racing kind of nervous that lives right next to excitement and you can barely tell the difference. It’s been a long time since I’ve stood on a stage like that, and my body knew it.
But here’s what I keep coming back to this morning. Even with the nerves, even speaking a little faster than I probably should have, I felt completely like myself up there. There was no performance. No version of me trying to be something. Just the work, the women in that room, and something that felt a lot like coming home.
Doing the things that scare us, the ones that also light something up in us… that’s where we grow. Not in the comfortable, familiar, already-figured-out places. At the edge. The place where you’re genuinely not sure how it’s going to go and you show up anyway.
If something has been sitting on your heart lately, something that excites you as much as it terrifies you, that feeling is not a warning. It’s an invitation.
Say yes to it. 🦋
