I’m going to be real with you for a minute.

I’ve been working on something for over a year that terrifies me. Wakes me up in the middle of the night with “what ifs”. Has me overthinking and rethinking.

You see, when you pour your heart and soul into something—when you spend over a year dreaming, planning, recording, creating—there’s a little voice that creeps in. That voice says, “Who do you think you are?” It says, “No one is going to care.” It says, “You’re not good enough.”

That’s called imposter syndrome. Something I am FAR too familiar with. And man, does it love to show up at the most inconvenient times.

You see, for the past year I’ve been building a HUGE online course. I recorded all the videos (over 8 hours of content) with a professional videographer. I created a 173 page workbook. I spent countless hours creating resources and downloads.

I planned. I created. I dreamed. And then I stopped.

If I’m honest, there have been moments I decided not to release this course at all. Moments where the fear felt bigger than the dream. Where my insecurities whispered louder than my purpose. But here’s what I’ve learned—fear is always loudest right before a breakthrough.

I had to remind myself that this course wasn’t about me—it was about answering a call on my heart that has always pushed me forward… find a way to help educators and leaders create schools that kids deserve. It was about impact. It was about change. And if I let fear hold me back, I’d be standing in the way of the very thing I felt called to do.

So last Thursday night I did a webinar and at the end I announced the launch of my course. Then I didn’t sleep at all that night. Again wondering if anyone would even check out the free preview, much less spend their hard earned money on it.

Then this weekend something hit me. I have to let go. I have to just trust this is what God called me to do and let Him take it and grow it as he sees fit. If there’s one person who is impacted, or hundreds. Because even if it’s just one, that one matters too.

Maybe you’re standing at the edge of something big right now too. Maybe you’re feeling that same fear, those same doubts. Let me tell you—don’t you dare let it stop you. Step into that fear. Move forward anyway.

Courage isn’t about not feeling fear—it’s about choosing to keep going, even when you do.

I’m proud of Culture Unleashed. I’m proud of the hard work, the late nights, the vulnerability it took to put it out into the world. And I’m proud of you, too, for whatever step you’re taking toward your dream.

You’ve got something incredible inside you. Don’t let fear tell you otherwise.

Let’s keep moving forward—together.
