Picture yourself as a racked with self-doubt rock star.

It's okay for it to be like that.

It's okay for it to be scary.

It's okay to hear that voice as long as

You are responding to it and remembering it's not the voice of truth and essentially not letting it drive your actions.

And so that's really important piece.

But then the second piece is connecting with your bigger vision, your intention to serve,

the values you want to embody in this world, and really that voice of inner wisdom in you.

Because anytime I ask a woman, once she's connected with that inner wisdom, how would that part of you navigate this challenge?

She has an amazing, wise answer right there.

Well, I think school is not our friend here on that particular issue.

That basically you are going to prepare to be ready to do things for 20 years.

And the whole emphasis of school, there's a lot of, you need years and years and years of preparation to be able to make a contribution.

But because the way our psyches work, we don't actually graduate and then feel ready.

We've just internalized that message for 20 years.

So that's a big part of it.

Another part of it is just that it's often terrifying to do what we most really want to do.

And we're looking for any excuse.

And so I'm not ready is like a nice vague one that we can always use.

Well, I would say it with a lot of compassion because it can be quick to go from there to kind of like, well, what's wrong with us?
