If you’ve ever said, “I’m not ready,” this episode is for you.
It’s time to stop living small and start doing the things you’ve always wanted to do.
Today, Mel is going to change the way you think about fear, confidence, and going after what you really want.
In this episode, Mel shares one of the most challenging and surprising experiences of her life: a sold-out, five-city live theater tour that forced her to face fear, perfectionism, and self-doubt in real time.
This past month, Mel did something she’s never done before: a multi-city sold-out live theater tour, complete with lighting cues, comedy skits, physical comedy, and more pressure than she’s ever felt.
She wasn’t ready. But she did it anyway. And through the nerves, chaos, and self-doubt, she walked away with 6 life-changing lessons that will inspire you to finally do the thing you’ve been avoiding.
If fear, overthinking, or perfectionism has been keeping you stuck, this episode will show you what’s waiting on the other side.
Today you’ll learn:
-The 6 mindset shifts Mel used to do something she was terrified to try
-Why fear is actually a sign you’re doing something meaningful
-How to bring the fun when the stakes feel high
-What to do when things go wrong—and how to keep going anyway
-How to stop waiting to feel ready and start taking action
Whether you want to change careers, start creating content, get back out there after heartbreak, or simply start a new dance class, it’s time to live life bigger.
Because the truth is, you’ll never feel ready.
And that’s exactly why you have to start.
