289 || [PodSwap] Why You’ll Always Feel a Little Afraid and That’s a Good Thing || with Host Anne Watson

Have you ever felt afraid when starting to step into a dream?

If so, you are 100% not alone; in fact, one of the most valuable discoveries I made in the first six months of hosting my podcast was that every woman I spoke to said she feels the same.

I reveal this juicy nugget about dreamers in a recent interview with Anne Watson, host of the Swayology Podcast. We have the most beautiful conversation about pursuing our dreams even when we feel afraid. She affirms how hard it is to figure out what you want to be when you grow up, especially as a multi-passionate woman. And she takes us on a journey, digging back into the archives of how I started pursuing my dream of serving women who are actively seeking a path on which to live out their God-shaped dreams.

In this episode you’ll learn about:

  • My unspoken prayer in 2012 that cracked open the door of considering how to engage my creative gifts for a purpose I felt passionate about,

  • The self-imposed bondage that needs to be broken so we can live freely in who God created us to be, and

  • The challenge to stop hiding behind my podcast and go all-in to create a business that would serve women with big dreams for God’s kingdom.  

 

I’m calling this episode a PodSwap and sending HUGE thanks to Anne for allowing me to use her episode while I’m in content creation mode of another kind.

Scripture:

For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.

~ Ephesians 2:10 (NIV)

From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.
~ Acts 17:26 (NIV)

I waited patiently for the LORD to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see what he has done and be amazed. They will put their trust in the LORD.
~ Psalm 40:1-3 (NLT)

But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
~ Ephesians 2:13 (ESV)

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
~ Romans 3:23 (NIV)
