About the Author

I'm Sarah Gleeson, a writer, coach, and keynote speaker on overcoming fear and self-doubt.

For years I knew exactly what I wanted to do and couldn't bring myself to do it, even after all the coaching and therapy I'd had.

My therapists understood what was holding me back, but they couldn't help me build what I wanted.

My coaches could help me build it, but they didn't understand the fear underneath that kept sabotaging every step I tried to take.

That's why I started Unscripted.

I wanted to give women what I never had: a mentor who understands the fear keeping them stuck, and helps them move past it to take action.

Today I walk beside women as they finally do the things they've been putting off, whether that's writing a book, starting a podcast, or building the business they've always dreamed about.

Are you a Planner, a Polisher, a Hero, or a Dreamer?

If something you read in one of my articles resonated with you, something that sounded a little like what you’re experiencing in your own life right now, then I’m very glad you’re here.

Most of the women who find their way to my little corner of the internet have something they want to do and haven’t been able to get it done. It’s not for a lack of ideas or effort. Something just keeps getting in the way.

However, that "something" isn’t the same for every woman. For most, it’s one of four patterns: the Planner, the Polisher, the Hero, or the Dreamer.

This 4-minute quiz will show you which pattern is running the show for you. Once you know that, you can stop trying fixes that were never meant for you and take a first step you’ll actually follow through on, so you can finally bring your goals and dreams to life.
