I stopped calling it fear.
Most of the time, it wasn't fear at all.
It was exhaustion and being mentally worn down.
It was carrying way too much for way too long, and calling it "being responsible" and "loyal."
Somewhere along the way, we were taught that if we hesitate on something, it must mean we're scared.
But what if it actually means your body is sending you a signal? That it's tired of dragging a life around that no longer fits?
Fear tells us, "I'm not safe."
Burnout tells us, "I can't do this anymore."
Those are two very different things... and I know both of them all too well.
When I stopped labeling everything as fear, I could finally hear what was underneath it:
- misalignment
- quiet resentment
- a part of me that already knew the truth
So here's a question I want to leave with you:
What are you calling fear that might actually be a signal?
No need to rush for an answer. Just sit with it for a few... and notice what comes up.
Talk soon.
Your Exit Queen,
