Bold Moves Don’t Always Look Big—But They Always Feel Brave

Not all bold moves make headlines.

Sometimes they look like quietly clicking “publish” on your first blog post.
Sometimes they sound like a whisper in your heart, nudging you to speak your truth out loud for the first time.

For me, one of the boldest decisions I’ve ever made was choosing to talk openly about my personal spiritual awakening. It wasn’t about being loud—it was about being honest. That choice cracked me wide open and allowed me to connect more deeply with the very women I’m here to serve. Women who are tired of holding it all together. Women who are done waiting for permission. Women who are ready to take their own bold steps—even if they start out small.

Bold Moves Open New Doors

When I walked away from my role as CEO to fully devote myself to SheHandlesIt, it felt terrifying—but necessary. I’d known for a while that something wasn’t aligned, but like so many of us, I kept pushing forward. Because that’s what we do, right? We keep handling it. Until one day, the cost of staying the same becomes higher than the risk of change.

That’s the thing about bold moves.
They rarely show up with perfect timing, a flawless plan, or a safety net.
But science tells us that those leaps—big or small—are the very things that rewire our brains for growth.

Research shows that when we take action outside of our comfort zone—even tiny steps—we activate the brain’s learning and motivation centers. Each small win triggers dopamine, a feel-good chemical that builds momentum and confidence. The more you move, the more you can move. Progress literally fuels itself.

Tiny Leaps Can Create Massive Change

You don’t have to quit your job or sell your house to make a bold move.

Sometimes the most powerful shifts start with something quiet but intentional:

• Signing up for the workshop you’ve been eyeing.
• Telling someone what you really want.
• Saying no without over-explaining.
• Taking a walk in nature when everything feels loud.

Starting SheHandlesIt during the middle of COVID was one of those tiny-but-mighty moves for me. I didn’t know where it would go. I just knew it lit me up inside—and that was enough.

And here’s what I’ve learned: when you take one aligned step, the next one gets easier. Because you’re no longer operating from fear—you’re operating from truth.

Let Your Head and Heart Talk It Out

I tell the women I coach: have a conversation between your head and your heart.

Your head will always try to keep you safe. It’s wired for logic and self-protection.
But your heart? Your heart is wired for purpose.

When the two are in constant battle, ask yourself:

“Does this decision align with what lights me up? Does it bring me closer to who I’m becoming?”

If the answer is yes, it’s probably a bold move worth making—even if it scares you.

Let Progress Be Your Peace

Nature has always been my go-to reset. Whether I’m sitting in stillness or moving my body outside, I find clarity in the quiet. I pair that with daily gratitude practices—not because everything is always perfect, but because perspective keeps me grounded in what’s going well.

When you’re aligned with your purpose, the work doesn’t feel heavy—it feels sacred. It feels like progress. Like joy. Like you.

Your Turn: One Small Bold Move

So here’s your invitation:

✨ What is one small bold move you can make this week?
✨ One thing that feels aligned with your passion—even if no one else sees it?

Maybe it’s journaling for five minutes in the morning.
Maybe it’s texting a friend for accountability.
Maybe it’s launching the thing that’s been sitting in your Google Drive for a year.

Whatever it is, do it for you.
Celebrate it.
Let it light the fire for your next bold move.

Because bold doesn’t mean reckless.
Bold means real.
Bold means ready.
And you, my friend, have always been more ready than you realized.
