And if you’re healing from a mother wound, that fear can feel even louder because you didn’t grow up feeling safe. But you don’t have to wait until you’re not afraid. You just need to know that you’ve got your own back.That kind of safety doesn’t come from waiting for the perfect moment. It comes from showing up for yourself, little by little. It looks like being patient when fear creeps in, instead of beating yourself up. When you keep promises to yourself, doing the thing you said you would, or just resting when your body says it’s tired, you’re rebuilding trust. You’re teaching that younger version of you that she’s no longer alone. That someone finally sees her and protects her.Every time you show up even with shaky hands and a nervous heart, you’re proving to yourself that fear doesn’t get to call the shots anymore. You do.So no, you don’t need to be fearless. You just need to be kind to yourself as you keep going. In this episode, I’m getting real about where I’m at in my healing and how hard it can be to even see the woman I’m supposed to be. We talk about how fear and all those sneaky limiting beliefs keep us stuck in the same old loops, why having a safe, loving relationship with yourself is everything, and how ambition can actually be a part of your healing. Pull up, listen in, and let’s have an honest conversation about showing up for yourself, facing your fears, and stepping into your full power.Topics Covered:(00:00:00) Episode Snippet(00:00:09) Welcome to the Black Mother Wound podcast (00:03:50) You can’t shortcut your way through healing(00:05:08) See who you’re becoming(00:07:18) Build safety by trusting yourself(00:08:25) Keep showing up, even when scared(00:13:50) Confidence comes from consistent action(00:17:32) Dreams reconnect you to yourself(00:19:13) Ambition will expose your fears(00:20:52) People will rise to meet your growth(00:23:25) You can do it scared(00:25:29) Let your gifts be seen(00:26:00) Be your own biggest cheerleader(00:28:00) Take care of youKey Takeaways: "You cannot shortcut the lesson.
