Hi,
My name is Jennifer Ransall-Smith and you're listening to The Courage to Begin.
I want to welcome you,
You courageous soul,
And I invite you to find a comfortable position.
Let's start by closing your eyes and taking a deep steady breath and filling those lungs with nice fresh air.
And as they expand,
I want you to consider the possibility with every single inhale.
As you exhale,
I want you to release all of that heavy weight you've been carrying,
All the self-doubt,
The hesitation,
And oh my god,
Let's not forget the perfectionism.
Let's let it all go.
Take another deep breath.
This time envisioning the energy of potential that is flowing through your veins.
And as you exhale,
I want you to feel yourself settling into the truth about who you are.
You're someone who's capable,
Resilient,
And ready to act even before you fully feel prepared.
Now,
I want you to bring to mind something you've been holding back on and you know what it is.
Maybe it's an idea you've been nurturing,
An opportunity you've hesitated to claim,
Or a step you've been afraid to take.
But let's let it rise to the surface without any judgment.
I want you to feel the desire and passion you've been suppressing,
Longing to break free.
And pay attention to those voices of doubt that have previously held you back.
You know what I'm talking about.
The ones that maybe you're not ready.
I don't know enough.
What if I fail?
What will they think?
I don't have enough money.
I need another certification.
I want you to acknowledge those fears but know that they don't define you.
They're only echoes of the past.
In this moment,
Let's replace those voices with the truth.
You don't have to be ready.
You don't have to have all the answers.
You are enough right here,
Right now.
The thing is,
Action builds clarity and every step forward brings growth.
Feel that power within you,
The courage to start,
The strength to learn,
And the wisdom to trust yourself.
You were never meant to play small or to wait for perfection.
You were meant to fully engage with this life,
To leap boldly into the unknown and create your own path.
So let's take a deep breath.
And as you exhale,
Imagine stepping into the arena of your life.
I'm smiling.
I feel you smiling in your heart because you know the possibilities.
I want you to feel the energy of momentum,
The fire of potential awakening within you because this is your time.
Now we're going to anchor in the truth with a couple affirmations and I want you to let them flow into you,
Reshaping your old beliefs as we awaken the boldest part of you.
You ready?
We have 10.
I'm going to read them once and then I'll say them again a little slower so you can repeat out loud or to yourself.
Let's go.
I take bold action even before I feel ready.
The perfect time is now.
Number two.
I don't wait for confidence.
I build it through action.
Your turn.
I don't wait for confidence.
I build it through action.
Number three.
I am capable of figuring things out.

Let's go.
I am capable of figuring things out.
I trust my ability to learn and grow.
Number four.
I step into a new spaces because I know I bring value even if I'm not perfect.
Together,
I step into new spaces because I know I bring value even if I'm not perfect.
Number five.
I don't need to have all the answers to take the first step.
Your turn.
I don't need to have all the answers to take the first step.
Number six.
The path reveals itself as I walk it.
I trust the journey.
You ready?
The path reveals itself as I walk it.
I trust the journey.
Number seven.
I say yes to opportunities that stretch me knowing I am capable of rising to the challenge.
You ready?
I say yes to opportunities that stretch me knowing I am capable of rising to the challenge.
Number eight.
Progress matters more than perfection.
Every step forward is a step toward my purpose.
That's good.
Ready?
Progress matters more than perfection.
Every step forward is a step toward my purpose.
We have two more.
Number nine.
I embrace the unknown with courage because greatness lies outside of my comfort zone.
Woo.
Together,
I embrace the unknown with courage because greatness lies outside my comfort zone.
And the final one.
I am not waiting for the stars to align.
I am the one who creates the alignment.
Wow.
Let that sink in for a second.
I'm not waiting for the stars to align.
I am the one that creates the alignment.
Last time.
I am not waiting for the stars to align.
I am the one who creates alignment.
You have what it takes to start.
Let's leave the excuses in yesterday and let's recognize that you are ready.
And more importantly,
The world is ready for you.
Have a wonderful day.
Namaste.
