Happy Girl on the Rise Wednesday,

Can you believe that we’re halfway through August AND slightly over halfway through the year 2025! The first few months of this year felt like an eternity, but once May hit, I swear the speed went 10x. Which means, if you have goals for 2025 that you haven’t taken action toward yet, the clock is ticking. And that brings me to this week’s newsletter…

This week’s Girl on the Rise Newsletter is 850 words (3-minute read)

This week’s affirmation:

“I can live the life I envision for myself.”

A Question To Make You Think…

Who would you be if you weren’t afraid?

Let that sink in for a minute because I know it’s a big question. Now, I’m going to ask it again…

Who would you be if you weren’t afraid?

So now, that question has been introduced to your conscious mind. But I want it to seep into your subconscious mind so that you continue to think about it, but at a deeper level.

A Visualization To Help You See…

For this visualization, please read the following paragraph carefully. Then, when I tell you to, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and paint a vivid picture in your mind.

I want you to imagine you’re 85 years old, sitting in a wooden rocking chair on your porch, slowly rocking back and forth. It’s a beautiful day. The breeze is soft, the sun is warm, the birds are singing, and your heart is at peace.

And as you’re sitting there in your chair, enjoying this beautiful day, you can’t help but smile as you think about your life. You smile because at some point, you chose courage over fear. You decided not to let fear write your story. You stepped boldly into becoming the truest version of yourself. And because of that, you created a life that felt aligned, beautiful, and free.

What does that life look like?

What does it feel like?

Who did you become when you stopped being afraid?

Now, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and paint that picture in your mind. Allow yourself to see it clearly, to feel it deeply, to believe it’s possible. Who would you be if you weren’t afraid?

Some Inspiration To Help You Believe…

Fear is the biggest thief of potential. It convinces you to stay small, quiet, and safe.

But here’s the truth: the life you imagine when you let go of fear - that life is waiting for you.

Did you hear that? It’s waiting for you! You literally just envisioned it!

The person you want to be and the life you want to live is waiting for you!

You don’t have to wait until “someday.” That life you envisioned can start today!

Every courageous choice you make, starting now, no matter how small, brings you closer to that version of yourself.

So, I’ll leave you with a challenge for the week ahead:

The next time fear tries to hold you back, ask yourself - Who would I be if I wasn’t afraid? Then take one brave step in that direction.

You owe it to your future self to try.

Until next time, keep going and keep growing.
