Description

What happens when you finally do the thing that scares you?

After dreaming about giving a TEDx Talk, applying to numerous events, getting accepted, and spending six months preparing for the TEDx stage, I finally stepped onto that red circle and shared my message about the Imagination Recession and why play and creativity matter more than ever.

But the experience taught me much more than how to give a TEDx Talk.

In this episode of the Second Act Success Podcast, I’m sharing three powerful lessons I learned about fear, self-doubt, confidence, and going after big goals.

I’m also sharing what surprised me about meeting the other TEDx speakers and realizing that even incredibly accomplished people experience imposter syndrome and wonder whether their story is worthy of being heard.

If you’re considering a career change, starting a business, pursuing a dream, or simply trying to find the courage to take your next big step, this episode is your reminder that confidence doesn’t have to come before action.

Sometimes you have to do the scary thing first.
