22 | Courage to Follow Through: Moving Forward When Fear Tries to Pull You Back

Following through on goals isn’t about willpower — it’s about courage, healing, and alignment. In this episode, we explore why following through feels so difficult for women who have experienced trauma, and how faith and neuroscience work together to help us move forward even when fear is present. You’ll learn how your nervous system impacts motivation, how God designed your body to support courage, and why small, faithful steps create lasting transformation. We talk about replacing fear-based patterns with truth, regulating stress, and building sustainable rhythms that support obedience and peace. This episode is for the woman who knows God is calling her forward — but needs support to take the next step.   Key Topics Covered • Why follow-through feels hard after trauma • How fear lives in the nervous system • Biblical courage vs. cultural courage • Small steps that build sustainable faith • Practical tools for courage and consistency • Faith, neuroscience, and obedience • How God rewires the brain through truth   Scriptures Referenced Joshua 1:9 Romans 12:2 Proverbs 3:5–6   Next Steps >>Grab your set of “My Identity In Christ" reflection cards. https://lesliechermak.myflodesk.com/identitycards 🔗 Connect with Me: >> Visit https://lesliechermak.com/work-with-leslie/ for more support. >> Rooted & Rising Coaching Session
