Who would I be if I didn’t let fear stop me?Would I be someone… ✨ Who replaces her own well house door handle?... ✨ Who owns pets instead of fosters them?... ✨ Who gets on a stand-up stage?... ✨ Who bakes her own bread?... ✨ Who writes with reckless abandonment?... ✨ Who believes in abundance?... ✨ Who has an underground bunker?... ✨ Who loves being on camera?... ✨ Who laughs in the face of perfectionism?... ✨ Who makes a big damn difference in people’s lives?... ✨ Who brands want to partner with?... ✨ Who’s living her dream?... ✨ Who builds something really special?... ✨ Who’s making 5-figures a month?... Feel free to gnaw your way through this one over a gummy tonight... or for the next month. It’s something I’ve been reflecting a lot on lately. Who I might be today if I didn't let fear stop me every single day for the last 45 years. I can't change the past, but I can make damn sure I don't keep repeating it. I WILL NOT let myself have to wonder about this a year from now... let alone 10 years from now. This is where letting the fear stop me ends! I’m tired of being in the comfort zone of “almost getting there, but not quite because I let fear talk me out of it.”I want to escape the perpetual fear-state of “working on it” that’s really just imposter syndrome packaged in a pretty productivity bow, and be who I am when fear isn’t where I'm operating from. I’ve seen glimpses of this broad… so I know she exists… she’s just been buried under a lot of internet rubble. I think the shaking that’s been going on inside my body for the last year is her. She’s so fucking desperate for freedom that she’s frantically scratching + clawing her way to the surface. I sent her down some water + a couple of meatballs, and told her to chill out while I “work on it,” but she threatened to set my insides on fire if I don’t set her free, so I have no choice but to introduce you to the latest batshit crazy version of ME… the one who talks about herself in the 3rd person (eww, ok, I’ll do less of that) and doesn’t let fear stop her. I’m meeting her for the first time, too. I hope she’s someone who is confident, whole, and successful no matter what her bank account, open rates, website traffic, or subscriber count says. I don’t know what fearless thing I should do first; I thought maybe you’d have some ideas, given all the healing YOU’re doing, too?I just dug this broad out of a 45 year old emotional underground bunker with nothing but a butter knife… I need a margarita + a nap right now. But maybe YOU have some extra wisdom lying around that you’d let me borrow? I promise I won’t let the foster kittens play with it or throw it off the deck like I do with my table scraps. Go wild + give it to me straight… I would be insanely grateful for the food for thought. How would YOU lean into this brand new, uncharted, fearless era?? To being the imperfect, refreshingly real humans who don’t let fear stop them, Dre ‘Fearless Before She’s Done Working It Out’ Beltrami P.S. Does confessing that I don’t know if I’m capable of selling anymore count as fearless? It took ladyballs, so I’m counting it. 🥰 I even blasted the confession out on Substack and the outpouring of support, from total strangers, was beyond my wildest expectations! It's what inspired this fearless email. |
