She notes that on the other side of fear lies your dream. She explained that the brain is designed to keep you safe, but the human spirit is designed to make you soar, so you’ve got to be willing to try. “It’s OK to jump, because here is what will happen. You can jump and fly, jump and land softly, or jump and land hard. Whatever happens, women are resilient, we are built to get back up,” she added.
She added that fear and the fascination with really living makes for enemies, bad lovers even. Fear is needed for survival, but you don’t need fear to manifest your dreams, “Whenever fear appears, make it come along for the ride, but put fear on the back seat and tell it to shut up with the ‘Nos’, ‘Don’t s’, and ‘Stop’. If you let fear in, you will never go anywhere interesting. You are in control.”

She added that for perseverance, it is important for us to never give up on our dreams, but to work at it. “To go into the unknown is scary, but today, I wake up each morning with such joy, so find something you love that brings you joy and peace.”
