Quick Script Flip: When Fear Is Loud

WEBVTT
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.799
This script flip is for the woman whose fear is running the show right now.
00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:17.039
Welcome to Flip the Inner Script, a podcast for female founders who are over their inner critic showing up when they are scaling to bigger things.
00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:24.800
This podcast is for the woman who has built something and still finds herself wondering why success doesn't feel the way she thought it would.
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:34.799
We'll dive deep into inner stories, social conditioning, self-leadership, identity, and what it actually takes to master being the woman who meets her next level.
00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:41.439
This is your permission slip to finally flip the script so that you can unlock the success you dream about.
00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:42.479
Let's go.
00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:53.200
Wherever you are right now, I want you to get quiet.
00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:54.880
Get still.
00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.399
Block out the noise both around you and also in your mind.
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.439
Close your eyes if you can, or just soften your gaze.
00:01:06.959 --> 00:01:08.400
Take a breath in.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.599
And let it out slow.
00:01:17.200 --> 00:01:21.920
This script flip is for the woman whose fear is running the show right now.
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:27.040
The loud, all caps, don't you dare kind of fear.
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:29.840
The who do you think you are fear?
00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:36.480
The panic, the worry, the one that shows up right before you hit send.
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:48.959
Right before you sign up, right before you say yes to the thing that you know actually matters, or the thing that's bigger than anything you have done up until this point.
00:01:50.159 --> 00:01:51.439
You know the one.
00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:54.719
Here's the old script.
00:01:55.040 --> 00:01:59.439
If fear is this loud, it must mean I shouldn't do it.
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:01.519
But that's a trap.
00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:05.120
We think that fear equals a stop sign.
00:02:05.760 --> 00:02:12.639
That if something scares us this much, it must be wrong or dangerous or a sign that we're not ready.
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:14.400
So we listen.
00:02:15.039 --> 00:02:17.199
We shrink the ask.
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:22.240
We stay in the version of life that fear approves of.
00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:27.599
Nothing bigger, nothing more, nothing unknown.
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.240
Fear doesn't get louder because something is wrong.
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:41.280
Fear gets louder the closer you get to something that actually matters to you, that expands you, that challenges you.
00:02:41.439 --> 00:02:50.800
It's not measuring danger half the time, it's measuring how much you care about the outcome and how it feels to think about actually doing it.
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:53.840
Fear doesn't mean you should stop.
00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:03.840
Often it's proof that you're standing right at the edge of something real, something big, something meant for you.
00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.280
Here's the flip.
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.719
This fear means this matters.
00:03:12.319 --> 00:03:15.919
I can feel afraid and still move.
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:20.000
Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
00:03:21.439 --> 00:03:23.680
Fear is not the boss.
00:03:24.000 --> 00:03:27.439
It's just a passenger with an opinion.
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.000
I am the driver.
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.000
Fear is not my boss.
00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:40.560
It's just a passenger with an opinion, and I'm still driving.
00:03:41.599 --> 00:03:43.360
You get to drive.
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:45.919
Feel the difference in that last one.
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:51.360
You may have been living like fear holds the keys to the car, but it doesn't.
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:52.560
It never did.
00:03:52.719 --> 00:03:54.159
Not if you don't let it.
00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.960
And it's loud because it's scared, but not because it's in charge.
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:09.199
There's a difference between fear that's protecting you from something genuinely harmful and fear that's just panicking about the change.
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:24.240
And most of the time, especially for you in what you're doing in your business and in your relationships, and in the big scary asks and the big moves that you're wanting to make, the big goals that you have, it's the second one.
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:28.319
It's the fear about the change.
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.240
And that kind of fear, it gets to have a seat.
00:04:32.319 --> 00:04:33.040
You're human.
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:36.959
We're all human, but it just doesn't get to drive.
00:04:38.079 --> 00:04:40.639
So I dare you, okay?
00:04:40.879 --> 00:04:56.720
Whatever fear has been talking you out of the pitch, the price increase, the boundary, the no because you actually don't want to do the thing, the hard conversation, the big change, the big leap, the big statement.
00:04:57.199 --> 00:05:02.800
Do the next tiny piece of it today with fear riding the shotgun the whole time.
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:04.399
Because it will be there.
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:13.519
You may not silence it, and you do it not because you've silenced it, but because you've stopped needing it to be silent before you move.
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:23.120
Loud fear and bold action can absolutely exist in the same body at the same time.
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:30.319
You don't need to go, you know, one doesn't need to go away before the other is gonna happen.
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:33.120
So just let this one land.
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:38.639
Fear being loud doesn't mean that it's wrong.
00:05:38.959 --> 00:05:43.680
It means that I am close to something real, something big.
00:05:43.920 --> 00:05:45.920
You can almost feel it.
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:52.000
I don't need permission from fear to move forward.
00:05:52.879 --> 00:05:58.079
I don't need the absence of fear to move forward.
00:05:58.399 --> 00:06:01.519
I lead from within, and fear can talk.
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:05.360
It can talk all it wants, but it doesn't get the final say.
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:09.920
Today I move anyway.
00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:11.600
Fear and all.
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:18.240
One more breath in and let it go.
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:25.360
Go do the brave thing today with fear right next to you.
00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:30.879
That's this week's script flip, and I'll catch you on the next one.
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:36.319
