What’s Holding You Back?

What’s Holding You Back?

Have you ever felt like you were standing on the edge of something big but couldn’t take that first step?

I’ve been there. A few years ago, I found myself staring at the life I had built—a successful corporate career, a steady income, a path I thought I was supposed to follow. But deep down, I knew it wasn’t where I was meant to be.

Still, I hesitated. The fear was real: What if I fail? What if I let everyone down? What if I’m making the biggest mistake of my life? Those thoughts kept me stuck longer than I’d like to admit.

But then came the moment when I realized staying where I was felt riskier than leaping into the unknown. That decision to leave my corporate career behind—terrifying as it was—was the first step toward a life I truly love.

I’ll be sharing more about that leap and how I finally overcame my fear in the very first episode of my podcast, launching this Wednesday!

Your beautiful shift this week:
Take a moment to reflect on something you’ve been hesitating to do. What’s holding you back? Is it fear of failure, judgment, or uncertainty? Write it down and ask yourself: If I took the leap, what’s the best thing that could happen?

And here’s a bonus tip: Sometimes, the clarity you’re waiting for only comes after you take the first step.

With courage and clarity,
xoxo Tracy

P.S. I’m beyond excited to launch my podcast this Wednesday! It’s been a labor of love, and in the first episode, I’m sharing the full story of my leap from corporate burnout to rediscovering myself.
