DAY 1 : Dana Diaries, I'm Scared
I’m heading to Fort Collins to help Kayla pack her moving truck. I just signed my own lease today, realizing that my free 12 weeks doesn't start until August. I just sent them an email to ask if it could be moved up to July.
I’m working on still acknowledging that I'm in transition. That I’ve been in transition and that I’ll be in it for a bit. Learning not to rush myself through this process but give myself the time it takes to move through it.
This has felt so hard! So heavy. Like the anxiousness is coursing through my brains instead of trust, provision, and possibility.
I feel insecure about my ability to make decisions that it’s had me in so much paralysis and questioning. Feeling like I can trust myself to make smart decisions or to make different decisions that enable me to have a better financial future.
What is it you think you need ‘before’ you can… xyz?
Feel at peace
Create from a place of abundance
Let yourself be present and happy
Not worry about money
Build the business of your dreams
Embody being an Outdoor CEO
Take care of your body
Be MUCH kinder to yourself
Acknowledge what you’ve done and accomplish already in your life
And see all of that as kind of a big deal!!!
What are you waiting for?
To be good enough. That’s what’s underneath it all.
Ok, let's play. How will you know you’re 'good enough’?
Hmm… cutting through all the layers, my gut answer is when i’m perfect and happy all the time.
So never?
Damn.
That feels like an exhausting way to live the rest of my human life. Not to mention, not any effing fun.
It’s okay that you’re scared. You don’t have to NOT be scared to live a full, brave, adventurous, creative, and fun life. It’s often times that actually because of that, you do. Because you don’t actually shy away from scary things.
Scary things don’t scare you.
It’s everything you’re making it mean.
So… you wanna play with me and make it mean something else?
What about :
There’s more possibility for community building
More opportunities for adventuring
More Framily block walks, sleepovers, snd patio nights.
More room for love and looking for magic
More connection - to yourself and trust in Spirit
Guidance and provision in ways you can’t see yet that are gonna light up your heart.
It's okay to be scared.
And, we got this.
Keep believing in the version of yourself you’re becoming.
Confidence doesn’t always arrive with a bold entrance. Sometimes, it builds quietly, step by step, as we show up for ourselves day after day. It grows when we choose to try, even when we’re unsure of the outcome. Every time you take action despite self-doubt, you reinforce the belief that you’re capable. Confidence isn’t about having all the answers — it’s about trusting that you can figure it out along the way.
The key to making things happen isn’t waiting for the perfect moment; it’s starting with what you have, where you are. Big goals can feel overwhelming when viewed all at once, but momentum builds through small, consistent action. Whether you’re working toward a personal milestone or a professional dream, progress comes from showing up — not perfectly, but persistently. Action creates clarity, and over time, those steps forward add up to something real.
You don’t need to be fearless to reach your goals, you just need to be willing. Willing to try, willing to learn, and willing to believe that you’re capable of more than you know. The road may not always be smooth, but growth rarely is. What matters most is that you keep going, keep learning, and keep believing in the version of yourself you’re becoming.
