#16: The Real Reason You’re Not Going After Your Dreams

Is it people’s judgment that’s holding you back — or your fear of being judged?

In this episode, I go deep into the real reason so many of us stay stuck and play small, even when we know we’re meant for more.

Spoiler: it’s not other people. It’s the fawn trauma response — the need to please, keep peace, and avoid rejection at all costs.

If you’ve ever:

• Dimmed your light to keep others comfortable
• Held back from launching, posting, or leading
• Felt like you’re too sensitive to handle judgment

…this episode is your breakthrough.

🎧 I break down:

→ What the fawn response is and how it silently runs your life

→ Why fear of judgment is more powerful than judgment itself

→ How your nervous system keeps you playing safe — and how to rewire it

→ 4 things you can start doing TODAY to take bold action toward your dream (without people-pleasing guilt)

This episode is a loving wake-up call to stop waiting for permission and start honoring the calling on your life.

Because your dreams are valid — even if others don’t understand them yet.
