Hi friends!
A lot of you came here from Imperium Academy, and by Week 2 you’re asked to share your vision board and inspiration figures. When I made mine, I noticed something — I felt nervous to share it with 25,000+ strangers. So I asked myself: why?
The fear of public judgment is real. And as more entrepreneurs step into personal branding, that fear only grows. Putting yourself on a stage with millions of eyes on you is bold — because you KNOW you’ll be judged no matter what.
But this is what I realized:
We’re not afraid of the things we believe in with our whole chest.
We’re afraid of the things we ALREADY JUDGE in ourselves.
It’s not the world’s judgment that scares us — it’s the possibility that others will confirm what we’ve secretly been telling ourselves.
So how do you conquer that fear?
You accept the parts of yourself you’ve been refusing to accept.
That’s where fear hides — in the traits you avoid, the truths you feel ashamed of, the parts you punish.
Sit with yourself and ask:
Why don’t I want to accept this?
What am I afraid it means about me?
Where did this belief come from?
Keep asking “why” until you hit the root.
And when you find that buried part of yourself… don’t reject it. Love it.
That’s how fear dissolves — through acceptance, not avoidance.
Not by “killing off” the part you don’t like.

And the same applies to your shadow. Transform it.
