You’ve been thinking about making a change—maybe it’s switching careers, launching that side hustle, going back to school, or finally applying for that dream job.

You’re excited. Motivated. So ready for something new.

And yet…

You’re still here. On the edge. Stuck between a bold step forward and the comfort of the familiar.

I get it.
This isn’t just a small shift—it’s a big decision. One that comes with a lot of weight. But here’s the question I want you to really think about:

What’s the #1 thing holding you back?

For some, it’s fear of failure.
For others, it’s financial pressure, imposter syndrome, lack of support, or just not knowing where to begin.

Whatever it is for you—it’s valid.
But it’s also something you can face, unpack, and overcome.

The truth is, clarity often comes after action. Not before it.

So today, give yourself a moment of honesty:
Name what’s holding you back. Then ask yourself: What’s one small step I can take today to move through it?

You don’t have to do it all at once.
You just have to start.
