Episode show notes
Taking the first step toward a new life can be one of the hardest things we ever do… but also one of the most important. In episode 80 of the Soulfully Confident Podcast, we are talking all about stepping into your fear to get what you really want in life!
As you take those steps toward what you desire – your dreams within your relationship, within the business you want to create, within whatever it is that you want – your fear is going to come in. And that’s okay! This is your brain trying to protect you. It’s survival mode, right? But you’ve got to just take it with you and not let it stop you.
But before we dive right in, let me introduce myself in case this is your first visit. Welcome to the Soulfully Confident Podcast! I’m your host, Emily Elizabeth, creator of the Soulfully Abundant Group Coaching program and certified Life Coach. This podcast is for the person who feels insecure, lost, and wants more from life but feels stuck. It is for the person who is ready to claim their confidence, self-worth, and take back control of their life. In this podcast, we will cover topics including self-love, managing your emotions, reconnecting in your relationships, and even manifestation. Remember, you are loved, you are worthy, and you are so capable of anything you want to achieve. Let’s jump in!
I’d love to share some of my best tips to help you stop living life in fear, so let's dive in. For even more details on each point, listen to ALL of episode 80 of the Soulfully Confident Podcast on your preferred streaming platform!
It’s okay if you don’t know where to start.
So many people don't know where to start, or they're too fearful to start. Or maybe they have started, but they don't feel like they've “gotten there” yet.
But here’s the thing... I didn't know that starting an online digital marketing business four years ago was going to be one of the steps that led me to becoming a life coach and to building my online business. At the time, I probably wasn't thinking how I'm thinking right now, but it was more like, “OK, I want this. This looks like an avenue to get me to that place that I want to go.” So, I took a gamble.
You don’t have to know where to start, but if you know you’re NOT where you want to be, that is a data point you can use.
In this FREE 3 day training, I will share with you exactly how I went FROM: insecure, 'fake it until I make it' mentality, and very lost in my relationship TO: crushing my goals, feeling in control of my emotions, totally empowered to go after what I want, and to being in a truly secure and satisfying relationship.
Do you believe in yourself enough to take a chance on yourself?
Even though I felt like I had no idea what I was doing, I had one goal to work from: I wanted to be able to move around and work from anywhere. So I did things that I knew would give me that opportunity. And now I absolutely love what I do. It's so beautiful to love what you do, but it is a journey to get there. And there are parts of my business now that I know are going to evolve and grow.
What you want will change.
As I grow and evolve, my desires will change. The things that I want to experience in my life and within my business will change, but I'm going to allow that. I'm going to allow that change to come and not have to have it all figured out right now, even though I know my brain wants to take me there. Your brain is going to want to take you there, too.
You’ll never know what’s going to happen, and that’s okay.
Your brain will need to know how it's going to turn out, what steps you need to take to get there and if it's going to be successful or not. Because if it's not, then what's the point?
But here's the thing: You can never know ahead of time. This is where self trust and self-belief come in. All of the confidence you need is within you, but you just don't know how to tap into it yet. And when you tap into it, that's when you’ll know which steps you need to take… not because you know the end result of where you're going, but because you know this is the right starting point.
It’s a step in the right direction because you feel confidence behind it. And you can feel confidence even while you’re still feeling scared and nervous.
Fear happens… do it anyway!
As you take steps toward what you desire – your dreams within your relationship, within the business you want to create, within whatever it is that you want – your fear is going to come in. And that’s OK! That's your brain trying to protect you. And when it does, try to just allow yourself to believe that you're on your way. Allow yourself to not know every single step. Take the fear with you if you must, but keep going.

I love helping women get out of the victim mentality, find their self-worth, and reconnect with themselves so they can not only improve themselves but all their relationships. When I am not creating content for my clients and programs, you can find me on a spontaneous trip with my husband, working out, curled up with my journal, or spending time enjoying the outdoors.
What I want to do for you all today is a little guided meditation, visualizations, and affirmations that I say a lot to myself and guide my clients through as well.
