Your Dream Should Scare You

Your Dream Should Scare You... My Story

Have you ever had a dream so vast, so magnificent that it literally took your breath away? A vision so expansive that your first instinct was to shrink back from its grandeur? I've learned that this fear – this divine trembling – isn't a warning to step back, but rather a sacred invitation to step forward..

For years, I carried within me the seeds of what would become my life's work – motivational speaking, thought leadership, and authorship. Yet, like many women, I initially questioned my capacity to bring such ambitious dreams to life. What I didn't realize then was that every experience, every interest, and yes, every fear, was actually preparing me for something far greater than I could imagine.

The Divine Dialogue

One pivotal moment in my journey came through a profound spiritual experience. In a dream, I received a message that would forever change my perspective on ambition: "If you dream small, that is ok, I will manifest that, but if you dream Big, I can show off with you because everyone will know it was outside of your capacity to do this on your own."

This revelation transformed my relationship with fear. I began to understand that when a dream terrifies us, it's often because we're catching a glimpse of our own magnificence. The fear isn't a signal to retreat; it's confirmation that we're pushing beyond our perceived limitations into the realm of divine collaboration.

The Expanding Vision

As I continue building Fierce Impact, FENOM U, and the Age with Power movement, I'm constantly amazed by how the dream keeps expanding. It's like watching a garden grow beyond its original boundaries, spreading beauty in unexpected directions. Each new development, each new connection, each new opportunity confirms that I'm not just pursuing a personal ambition – I'm participating in a divine unfolding.

The Symphony of Purpose

What's most remarkable about embracing a scary dream is how it reveals the perfect orchestration of your life's experiences. Everything I've encountered – the victories, the setbacks, the seemingly random interests – has contributed to my capacity to fulfill this mission. This isn't about becoming someone new; it's about finally recognizing and embracing who we've always been.

Your dream should scare you because it's showing you the magnitude of your own power.

When you feel that divine trembling, remember: you're not just pursuing a goal – you're answering a sacred call. 

The fear you feel is simply the gap between who you've been conditioned to believe you are and who you truly are.

For us women over 50, this is our moment to bridge that gap, to step fully into our magnificence, and to let our biggest, scariest dreams become the legacy we live right now and the one we leave for generations to come.

The question isn't whether you're capable of achieving your dream – the question is whether you're ready to partner with the Divine to show the world what's possible when a woman fully owns her power.
