Ever found yourself dreaming about starting something new, but the fear of failure keeps you stuck?

In today’s Dear Katy episode, I am back with my friend Janna to tackle those exact fears that hold us back from launching a business. We dive into a listener's dream of ditching a job she can’t stand to open a cozy bookstore café and offer some real, practical advice on how to push past the fear that keeps so many of us from taking the leap.

Janna and I get real about our own experiences, sharing personal stories and breaking down the small, actionable steps that help you move forward. 

Tune in to hear us chat about:

• How fear of failure can hold you back from your dreams and what you can do about it
• Balancing fear and passion when chasing a big goal
• Practical steps to conquer doubts and start taking action
• The reality behind running a business vs. the romanticized version we often hear about
• Why failure isn’t the end, but a stepping stone to growth
• Our personal stories of facing fear and making bold moves

It’s time to stop dreaming and start doing. Join us for this episode and let’s take that leap together!
