How to Be Brave When You’re Scared as Hell: Fear, Surgery, and Showing Up Anyway
Hey besties — welcome back to another episode of Unapologetically Empowered. If you’re new here, I’m Erica — trauma survivor, life coach, mama, wife, and a woman who’s been knocked down more times than I can count… and guess what? I’m still standing. This episode? It’s not your typical polished pep talk. It’s real. I haven’t had the surgery yet… and honestly? I’m scared. Like full-body, can’t-sleep, overthinking-everything kind of scared. But here’s the truth — I’m still showing up. I’m still creating. I’m still building programs for my community that will hold you when I can’t. Because I’m not going anywhere. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on: 💬 What it’s like to wait for a major front-of-neck surgery 💬 How I keep showing up when fear wants to shut me down 💬 The real talk on vulnerability, courage, and creating through the unknown 💬 Why you don’t need to be “healed” to help others 💬 A reminder that fear doesn’t disqualify you from your purpose ✨Takeaways You’ll Love: I haven’t had the surgery yet, and I’m scared. You don’t need to be healed to be worthy. Fear doesn’t make you weak — it makes you real. You can be in the waiting… and still rise. I refuse to disappear — even when I’m healing. 🎯 Need support right now?
