When the Path Veers, Keep Going

I couldn’t count the things that I never started because of fear, nor do I want to.

My fearlessness is a facade.

Usually, I don’t want to make mistakes or do things wrong. I don’t want to admit I’ve messed up or don’t have the answer. I want to seem like I have it all figured out.

I used to blame fear and other tough emotions on trauma, but I see that we all face fears on a daily basis. When we face fear and do things anyway, we keep our power, no matter how the “things” turn out.

I started this newsletter because my heart insisted that I start writing about my journey with emotional regulation and the tools that improved – and continue to improve – my life. This is my calling. I don’t know exactly how it will become an income stream, but it’s the healing and the magic I have to share.

But I’m doing it in the wrong place. My family, friends, and many of the people who I want to help aren’t on LinkedIn. However, LOTS of people I want to help ARE on LinkedIn, including you. I appreciate your support in my journey thus far. I know that when we can work through our big emotions, we’re better parents, friends, partners, AND co-workers.

??I sincerely hope you will follow me to Substack: https://emotionallyequipped.substack.com/

(You can send me your email to be added as well.)

I’m not sure what my LinkedIn newsletter will become. Possibly I’ll let it go. Maybe I’ll focus on emotional regulation tools for the workplace. Honestly, all the tools I’m sharing are for the workplace because how we act and react at work shapes our production, relationships, and most certainly our leadership.

I’m open to ideas and feedback. Please message me if you feel inclined ??

I’m following my heart and the path is veering.

It feels scary and I’m doing it anyway. ??
