Every successful woman eventually faces fear, but not the kind that stops you: the kind that signals growth.
Right now, Diane is doing something completely new: writing and performing a one-woman show, and it's equal parts terrifying and thrilling.
Listen to this episode where she talks about why growth always comes with a little fear and how high-achieving women can use fear as fuel, not a stop sign.
Our host, Diane Rolston, shares why your next level is waiting on the other side of what scares you.
Listen to learn these key takeaways:
- Why fear is actually a sign of expansion and how it means you're entering new territory rather than failing
- The surprising research about how moderate fear is beneficial and pushes you into a higher performance state
- Diane's personal journey with her one-woman show: from the spark that started it to booking theatres and planning her first preview
- The four powerful benefits of facing what scares you
- Why high achievers unconsciously trade expansion for comfort, and how safety and stagnation can feel almost identical
- The invisible costs of avoiding fear
- Real examples from Martha Stewart to reality TV stars who refused to be contained by other people's image of them
- One simple challenge for this week that will help you step into your next level of confidence and creativity (hint: don't wait)
