Reflections: Growth, Fulfillment & Taking Action (Even When You're Scared)

I’ve been thinking a lot about the journey of my long-time guest, Sara Shams— from fun-run participant to national advocate— and the lessons her story offers about growth, fulfillment, courage, and impact.

Reflecting on my own path—launching Your Time Matters while juggling motherhood, career changes, and caregiving—I realize how often we wait to feel “ready” before we take action. But the truth is, you don’t need everything to be perfect. You just need to trust your voice, take that first step, and create spaces where others can thrive alongside you.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your story matters, or hesitated to start something meaningful, I want you to hear this as both reassurance and a gentle nudge forward.

🎧 Join me for stories, reflections, and insights that remind us all: you don’t need confidence to begin—just the willingness to act with intention.
