In today’s episode, India shares a personal story of how she said no to the negative self-talk inside her head so that she could be a better version of herself. She had been a model, had posed for photographers, had her picture in magazines, yet she had stage fright. This story takes her from behind the camera and new to the gym to being on stage in a body-building competition.

The takeaways from today’s story will serve you whether you’re into fitness or not. Knowing when to ask for help, taking action in the face of fear, and practicing — lots of repetition — will get you there.


Ask yourself…

Are you minimizing yourself to make others feel more secure?

Is it about your fear of the stage or is about what people will think of you?

Are there people in your life who need you to play small in order for them to feel good about themselves?

Is it time to ask for help?

Where can you get laser-focused on your mission, your message, and who it serves?
