So if someone projected something onto me and said, oh, you know, Sarah doesn't want to do this or hey, we're going to do this. I would never use my voice, even if I disagreed. I would just go with the flow. I didn't want to be a disruptor.

And so I have identified it. Now I've seen how it shows up in my life to go to the end of the day and to reconcile. How did the power of fear, the power of shame show up? It didn't. determine what I put on.

It determined whether or not I spoke up in the meeting. It made me shut down. I got angry. Like, how did this show up in my life? And what do I wish I would have done instead? What would have been the power move that I did instead? And the beautiful thing about this is when you're reconciling it within yourself, you can say whatever you want to say to yourself.

what it feels like to use your voice, to show up in power, to do the opposite of what fear and anxiety and doubt, do the opposite of that, even if you're only doing it within yourself, because you have to exercise using your own power within, because the next time there's a moment like this, you get to capture and say, wait a minute, this is a moment where I get to choose to have faith or I get to choose to have fear.
