🔑 Top 3 Takeaways:

✅ Courage isn’t about eliminating fear—it’s about acting despite it. Your fear doesn’t define you; your actions do.
✅ Rewriting your inner narrative can change everything. The stories we tell ourselves shape our reality. Make sure yours empowers, not limits you.
✅ Right-sizing your fear helps you move forward. Fear is often bigger in our minds than in reality—learning to manage it gives you back control.
