From Fear to First Step: Having the Courage to Start Your Impossible

Want to be a guest or know someone would be a great fit? I am looking for military vets, active duty, military brats, veteran service orgs or anyone in the fitness industry

Fear doesn’t knock; it moves in quietly and rearranges the furniture. That’s where our story begins—at the messy, honest point where you want to start, don’t feel ready, and decide to move anyway. We trace a real journey from launching a podcast in the 60s to building a wellness business from the ground up, and we talk about what “start your impossible” means when it stops being a slogan and becomes a daily practice.

You’ll hear how a coaching debacle almost shut the door—and how a steady voice and a trustworthy mastermind opened it again. We get practical about the first-year stumbles many founders hide: underpricing, misaligned yeses, tool overwhelm, and the internal tug-of-war between staying safe and being seen. Then we go deeper into the identity work of rebranding. When your original brand no longer fits, the solution isn’t a new logo; it’s a clearer story. We unpack the questions that matter—Who am I now? Who am I here to serve? What promise am I willing to make and keep?—and how a strong coach and community can pressure-test your words until they ring true.

If you’ve ever been stuck “getting ready to get ready,” this conversation is your permission slip. We talk accountability, mindset, failing forward, and the surprising relief that comes from asking for help. The goal isn’t fearless or perfect; it’s brave and honest. Start small. Start messy. Start today. And when you do, tell us what you’re building—we want to cheer you on.

If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review so more people can find these conversations. Your impossible is waiting; let’s take the first step together.
