This Scares Me... But I’m Doing It Anyway 😳🎥

I’ve been working on something behind the scenes that honestly terrifies me…
I’m putting the Block Out the Noise podcast on YouTube—with my face on camera.

I know that might sound simple to some people, but for me? It’s been a huge mental hurdle. I'm talking sweaty palms, overthinking every word, questioning if I’m “too much” or “not enough”—you name it.

But I made a promise to myself this year:
👉 To stop waiting until I felt comfortable.
👉 To start choosing growth over fear.
👉 To push myself out of my comfort zone—on purpose.

And if I’m asking you to be brave... if I’m telling teens and young adults they can face anxiety, self-doubt, and overthinking with courage—then I need to walk that same path.

🎤 That’s exactly what I did with this week’s podcast episode.
It’s called “21 Things I Wish I Could Tell Every Teen With Anxiety (Part 1)”
And it’s one of the most heartfelt, powerful episodes I’ve ever recorded.

I even recorded it as a full YouTube video (coming soon once I finish editing and learn the ropes). But for now—it’s available on the podcast, and I broke it down into bite-sized pieces so it’s easier to digest and actually use.

This episode walks through 6 lessons I wish every anxious teen and young adult could hear:

• Why anxiety lies (and how to fight back)

• The truth about starting scared

• Why trying is winning

• How control can secretly block your peace

• What balance actually looks like

• And why you’re not lazy—you’re just overwhelmed

Whether you listen on your walk, during your late-night scroll, or in that moment between homework and sleep—I hope it reminds you that you’re not alone and you are not broken.
