For years, I had blamed myself for not having enough courage or discipline.

My past had taught me that staying invisible was the safest place to be, and all that planning and polishing was my survival instinct keeping me safe.

It just didn’t know that I didn't want to be that woman anymore.

The fear that had once protected me and kept me safe, was now keeping me stuck.
I needed to stop letting it make my decisions for me.

So I went off script. I launched my imperfect website.
I wrote my social media posts with greater vulnerability.
I scheduled time to finish my first manuscript.

Then I spent the next week in bed, nauseous and battling a migraine. I was so uncomfortable out of my comfort zone. But every time I did another hard thing, the fear had a little less hold on me.

That’s why I created Unscripted.

So many women are still standing on the sidelines of their own lives, not because they aren’t capable, but because fear has been deciding for them.
And no one, not even our fear, has the right to decide who we are or what we’re capable of becoming.
