Tomorrow is International Women’s Day 2025, and this year’s theme is "Accelerate Action." It’s a call for women everywhere to step up, take bold moves, and push forward toward the life and career they truly want.

But here’s my question for you: What if the biggest action you need to take isn’t about fighting external barriers—but breaking through your own self-doubt?

My Story

For years, I watched powerful, high-achieving women navigate major career decisions. I worked with executives, leaders, and entrepreneurs—women who appeared confident and successful on the outside, yet behind closed doors, they struggled with self-doubt, hesitation, and the fear of making the wrong move.

I understood their struggle because I had been there too. There was a time when I played small, even when I had the experience, knowledge, and insight to make an impact. I second-guessed myself. I waited for the 'right time.' I waited for permission.

But here’s the truth: No one is going to give you permission to take up space. You have to decide that for yourself.

The moment I stopped waiting and started taking action, everything changed. Now, I help other women do the same—because every woman deserves the confidence and clarity to make bold moves in her life and career.

How to Take Action on Your Next Chapter Today

If you’re feeling stuck, here are three simple yet powerful shifts you can make right now:

1. Reframe Fear as Fuel Fear is not the enemy. Indecision is. Growth doesn’t happen inside your comfort zone. That uncomfortable feeling? It’s a sign you’re ready for something bigger.

Ask yourself: "If I weren’t afraid, what would I do first?"

2. Trust That You’re More Ready Than You Think Women tend to wait until they feel 100% qualified before making a move. Meanwhile, men will apply for opportunities when they meet just 60% of the criteria.

Here’s the truth: You’ll never feel "fully ready." Start anyway.

3. Learn from Women Who Have Already Taken Action Over the years, I’ve worked with brilliant, high-achieving women who felt stuck. Some hesitated for a long time before finally making a move, while others took small, intentional steps that led to life-changing results.

One client walked away from a corporate career that drained her, building a freedom-based business that aligned with her passion. Now, she travels, works on her own terms, and feels more fulfilled than ever.

Another woman spent years doubting whether she could transition into leadership. When she finally applied for the role she thought she wasn’t qualified for—she got it. And she thrived.

What do these women have in common? They took action before they felt completely ready.

Your environment shapes your success. If you want to move forward, find a community that supports your growth, challenges you, and reminds you of your power.

Who is in your circle? Are they helping you accelerate action or keeping you stuck?
