Finding the Courage to Try Before You Feel Ready

from The Devoted Dreamers Podcast · host Merritt Onsa: Dream Mentor | Christian Entrepreneur | Community Host

Send us Fan MailMost of us say we want to grow, but when it comes time to step out of our comfort zone, we hesitate. Not because we don’t care, but because trying something we’ve never done before puts us face to face with uncertainty, insecurity, and the possibility of getting it wrong.In this eighth episode in my Habit Series, I’m inviting you to practice a simple but powerful habit: trying something new. Not restarting a habit you’ve tried before, but stepping into something unfamiliar on purpose. A new skill. A new experience. A new way of showing up.I talk about why this matters more than we realize, how trying something new strengthens courage and perseverance, and why your brain and your dream both benefit when you stop quitting before you’ve truly begun. I also share reflection questions to help you notice what’s really holding you back, plus an invitation to try something new alongside other women through our monthly co-working calls.If you’ve felt stuck, bored, hesitant, or quietly restless, this episode might be the nudge you need to take one small, brave step today.Get the Habit Tracker here: merrittonsa.com/habits Save your seat at the next Co-Working call: merrittonsa.com/coworkingNEXT STEPS:Connect with Merritt: Website || Instagram || Book a CallLeave a Review: Apple Podcasts/iTunesSubscribe: on Apple Podcasts * on AndroidJoin the Dream Believers communityMORE ABOUT THE DEVOTED DREAMERS PODCAST:Produced by Jonathan R.
