Welcome to the launch party of my revamped blog!
I've been on this blogging journey before. But as life happened and time ticked away, I decided to take a step back and reboot.
When I felt a pull of self-doubt keep me in the depths of procrastination to restart, I pulled out my fav mantra from Nike with a nod to a quote from Harry S. Truman....
Imperfect action is better than perfect inaction. JUST DO IT!
Today, I'm thrilled to share my story, introduce myself, and discuss the power of embracing risks and bravery in our ever-changing world.
My name is Jennifer (or Jen to my friends, and Jenny to my hometown pals). As a certified life purpose, confidence, and emotional intelligence coach, my passion is to help people like you ignite their inner fire and harness their unique strengths to access their limitless potential. Read more of my story here.
I wasn't always the self-assured woman I am today. I spent years battling self-doubt, fear, and limiting beliefs. But through persistence, personal growth, and the support of some amazing mentors, I managed to transform my life.
Now, more than ever, the world needs strong, fearless individuals who aren't afraid to step outside their comfort zones, take risks, and make their voices heard. With the rise of social media and the constant bombardment of picture-perfect lives, it's easy to feel inadequate. But let me tell you: You are enough, and your full potential can be unlocked by embracing the unknown and being brave.
Taking risks and being brave means different things to different people. For some, it might mean finally starting that business you've always dreamed of, while for others, it could be speaking up for yourself in a toxic relationship or workplace. No matter what form it takes, embracing risks and bravery is essential for growth, self-discovery, and ultimately, happiness.
As we embark on this journey together, let me share three reasons why taking risks and being brave is so important in today's world, inspired by my own experiences:
1. Growth and Personal Development
My journey to finding my true self began when I chose to leave a well-paying but unfulfilling career to pursue my passions, which included becoming a late-blooming mother and starting a service-based business from scratch.
It was scary.
Although I had ample security in my career, it wasn't rewarding. I didn't really know what to do next. When I took that leap of faith, I faced numerous setbacks and disappointments.
But with each challenge, I grew stronger and more resilient.
Having faith in my own potential, pushing myself to learn new skills, training myself to be more resilient, leaning in to my support systems and expanding my horizons into the unknown was the catalyst for my personal growth.
Life lesson: Embracing risks fuels our journey forward in life and allows us to reach our full potential.
2. Building Resilience
When I took that leap of faith, I faced numerous setbacks and disappointments. But with each challenge, I grew stronger and more resilient. Embracing risks and developing a brave mindset allows us to bounce back from adversity and come back even stronger.
Life Lesson: Resilient people are better equipped to handle life's challenges and are more likely to achieve their goals and find lasting happiness.
3. Inspiring Others
By choosing to take risks and be brave, you're not only transforming your own life – you're also inspiring the people around you.
Your courage and determination will show others that it's possible to break free from society's limitations and create a life filled with purpose, passion, and fulfillment.
Life lesson: Your bravery will inspire others. As the saying goes "a rising tide lifts all boats".
Let me leave you with a powerful quote by the amazing Maya Angelou that has always inspired me:
"You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. Don't be afraid to encounter the defeats so that you can know who you are, that you can rise up and still come out of it."
This is the truth as I believe it ~
You are enough, and your full potential can be unlocked by embracing the unknown and being brave.
Believe you have the power within you to overcome any obstacle, take risks, and live a life of unshakable confidence.
I'm so honored to be part of your journey and can't wait to witness the incredible things we can all achieve together.
Stay brave, keep the fire burning and keep shining!
With love and inspiration,
Jen
