I read 3 lines and just started crying

For 3 years I convinced myself I needed to build a successful software business first, get the results, and then do what I actually deeply cared about. I had a 2-5 year plan. It made perfect sense on paper. Build the business, make the money, earn the credibility, then help people with the stuff that was already naturally coming out of me in every conversation I had. People were already telling me "I've never talked about this with anyone" and "you ask really good questions." But I didn't have the qualifications. I didn't have a successful exit. I didn't have a reason for anyone to listen. So I kept building the wrong thing. Until one morning I read 3 lines on a screen and just started crying. Closed my laptop. Had to go upstairs to finish reading. Everything I already knew but was too scared to face was staring back at me. Everything was fear. Everything was a loss of trust in myself. This video is that story, told for the first time on a podcast with my good friend Carly. If you're building toward something that makes sense but doesn't feel right, or you're waiting for permission, results, or credentials before you do the thing that's already trying to come out of you, this one might hit. --- Carly Stephan is an energy and quantum health coach helping women leaders move from burnout to overflow.
