Living on the Edge

Over the past 8 months, it feels like everything I've been doing is showing up in a new way.

In some ways, my expression feels like it always does. And in many ways, it feels new. More vulnerable. Scary.

Maybe it's because it's in a different way. Maybe it's because it's on a different level.

Then you add in holding the workshops for the first time.

Creating challenges for myself and being visible while I do it, plus challenging others.

Then holding big events unlike anything I've held before.

It's a year of new. And with new things, the doubt tends to creep in.

The imposter syndrome. Who the hell am I to do this?

Can I lead?

What direction am I going in?

And today, I was listening to a voice note in a challenge with Jenna Brown, and she was talking about finding your edge.

She said, "You know you're at your edge when the doubt and imposter syndrome creep in."

What a reframe.

Because what I've learned about your edge is that it's where you want to be.

Your edge is where you learn from. Your edge is where you expand. Your edge is where the creation flows. The edge is where we lead. The edge is where we step into the new versions of ourselves.

So instead of looking at the self-doubt showing up as a reason to pull back — or wondering what's wrong, or how to move past it —

What if we look at it as oh, I've arrived. Oh, here it is. Thank God I'm here. It's the exact right place to be.

And that's when the imposter syndrome starts to melt away.
