You want to show up.

You’ve got things to say.

You feel the pull, to lead, to speak, to finally let yourself be seen.

And oh my lovely, you’re trying, so bloody hard.

But then it comes to putting yourself out there and:

You freeze.

You put it off.

You spiral into self-doubt, second-guessing yourself into silence.

You convince yourself that you’re “just not ready yet”.

It’s not because you don’t want it bad enough, and it’s not because you aren’t putting in the effort.

It’s because a part of you is waiting to be ‘more’.

More certain.

More polished.

More like that person who looks like they have it all figured out.

We’re taught that leadership is something you earn once you’ve ticked the right boxes, when you feel confident enough to lead.

But that’s backward.

Leadership doesn’t begin with confidence. It begins with presence.

It begins the moment you stop holding it all in and you start speaking your truth.

Yes, even when your voice cracks and wobbles.

Even when your chest feels tight, your heart races and your hands are all bloody hot and clammy.

Even when your brain is screaming “Don’t do it”!

You don’t have to be fearless.

You certainly don’t have to be fully healed.

You just have to be willing.

Willing to show up mid-squirm.

Willing to write (and share) that thing, even though you don’t know how people will react.

Willing to be visible before you feel 100% safe.

Because the women who wait for readiness, they stay stuck in the loop.

But the ones who move while they’re messy, they’re the ones who grow.

For sooo long I thought I had to have it all figured out. More confident. More knowledgeable. More perfect, More like someone else. But the day I realised I’d been leading my whole life from the shadows, I stopped waiting to be more and started choosing to be me.

So if your belly’s doing flips, your minds racing, but something still keeps pulling at you to do it.

Take note.

It’s not a red flag.

It’s your sign.

That’s leadership.
