| I got to tell ya, my brain is freaking out! I was working with my coach and we were talking about my next level imposter syndrome and the thought I had of “How do I have the audacity to be a podcast host?” I was telling my one coach and of course, we went to work. We dove deeper into this simple thought that can be flipped—I call this skill, On-Demand Mindset™ and I realized this isn’t the first time my brain has freaked out. If I travel all the way back to the 3rd grade, I remember my brain freaking out when I had to go into special education.

The big deal is that I am here typing, writing to you as I sip on my warm cup of coffee. The big deal is that I survived it all. I survived and thrived as I like to say.

When your brains freak out, that’s not a bad thing, it’s actually rewarding and informative because it’s telling you that you’re about to grow, you’re about to climb that mountain, and you’re about to come out stronger and wiser.
