The chapter

Rising

You're ready to take up more space.

You've found something you want. Now you're ready to trust yourself enough to go after it.

Rising
Maybe you're ready for more.

More responsibility.
More freedom.
More honesty.
More creativity.
More space.
More of the things you've been telling yourself you'll do "one day."

You know what you want. Or perhaps you have a pretty good idea.

Now the question is whether you believe in yourself enough to actually go for it.

You might be here if...
  • you've been playing it safe for longer than you'd like
  • there's something you've wanted to do for ages
  • you're ready to speak up about what you really want
  • you're tired of waiting for someone else to give you permission
  • you're ready to take a risk
  • you know you're capable of more
  • you're ready to trust yourself
Say it.

Sometimes rising starts with your voice.

Saying what you mean.
Asking for what you want.
Saying no when you mean no.
Saying yes when you mean yes.
Letting yourself be heard.

What if you actually believed you could?

Not because you know exactly how it's going to work.
Not because you're guaranteed to succeed.
Because you trust yourself enough to try.

You don't need everyone else to believe in you first.
You need to believe in you.

You get to decide what happens next.

So what are you going to do?

Sometimes the biggest shift is deciding you're no longer going to wait.

Take the opportunity.
Have the conversation.
Make the decision.
Put yourself forward.
Start the thing.

You don't have to know exactly how it will unfold.
You just have to take the first step.

You don't need permission.
You just need to decide.
