Understanding What's Holding you Back
Hello Beautiful,
I want to speak to the woman who knows she is called to more… but feels stuck.
You have ideas. You have vision. You have the desire to start the business, launch the ministry, rebuild your marriage, write the book, or finally move forward in your purpose. Yet something keeps you hesitating. Something keeps you overthinking. Something keeps you waiting.
Most of the time, it isn’t a lack of resources. It isn’t a lack of talent. And it isn’t because you’re not capable.
It’s fear.
It’s self-doubt.
It’s the quiet internal battle no one sees.
As a life coach, I’ve worked with many women who are gifted, intelligent, and anointed for their next level, but internally, they are wrestling with thoughts that say, “What if I fail?” or “What if I’m not enough?” Sometimes it’s not even loud fear. It’s subtle hesitation rooted in past disappointments, criticism, rejection, or experiences that bruised your confidence.
You may have tried before and it didn’t work. You may have stepped out and felt unsupported. You may have heard words spoken over you that you never fully healed from. Those experiences can quietly shape your decisions and cause you to shrink in moments where you should be rising.
Understanding what’s holding you back is the first step toward breaking free. You cannot overcome what you refuse to identify. When you pause long enough to recognize the fear, the self-doubt, or the insecurity, you take your power back. Awareness creates clarity, and clarity gives you direction.
The truth is, you may never feel completely ready. Confidence is often built in motion, not in waiting. Growth happens when you move forward despite the uncertainty, not when everything feels perfectly aligned.
What if the very thing you’re afraid to step into is the door to your healing? What if the business, the ministry, the leadership role, or even the conversation you’ve been avoiding is connected to your next level?
You are not behind. You are not disqualified. You are not too late.
This season may not be about doing more — it may be about confronting what has been silently limiting you. When you address the internal barriers, you position yourself to build something that lasts.
Take a moment this week and ask yourself honestly: What is truly holding me back? Name it. Write it down. Pray about it. Seek wisdom around it. That is where your breakthrough begins.
You are capable of more than you think. And once you deal with what’s beneath the surface, you’ll move differently — with clarity, confidence, and courage.
Your sister in Christ, Love & Prosperity
