Speaker: Hey friend, I'm so glad you're here. Welcome to oh There You Are. This is the podcast for anyone who's ready to step out of the shadows of self-doubt and into the life they've always dreamed of.
Speaker: I'm your host, Danielle, a wife, mom, and registered nurse who spent way too long believing my voice didn't matter. But guess what? It does, and does yours.
Speaker: If you've been holding back, waiting for the perfect moment, or telling yourself you're not enough, this is your reminder you are more than enough. You've always been enough.
Speaker: Everything you need is already inside you. In this space, we're going to push past fear, stop hitting snooze on life, and start going after what we really want. Each week, I'll bring you solo episodes and interviews with people who had the courage to go first so that you can go next.
Speaker: So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and let's go. And hey, don't forget to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode because we're just getting started. And remember, you're not late.
Speaker: You're right on time. And I can't wait to see where this journey takes us.
Speaker: Hey, friend. Welcome back to Oh, There You Are. This episode, I'm going to get a little personable, right? I'm going to do some soul stirring yet again because I'm kind of remixing episode 12. So if you've heard it before, please come listen again, right? Because it started with a few lines that I wrote in my journal that I finally, you know, was brave enough to share. and I just feel like I need to bring light to that again.
Speaker: So pull up your chair, listen, listen, Don't think that you don't matter, that you don't mean something to someone, that your presence doesn't leave lasting impressions.
Speaker: You might not always, you know, hear it, right? It might be months, even years before someone tells you how much you mean to them, or maybe you'll never hear it out loud.
Speaker: But that doesn't mean wasn't real. That doesn't mean your impact didn't ripple. So today's reminder is simple. Don't you dare hide.
Speaker: The world needs you. Your light, your story, your voice. Let me ask you this. If you were given an opportunity to serve others through your passion, would you take it?
Speaker: Or would you let the lies you've told yourself the fears, the doubts, I'm not ready, thoughts, you know those kind, would you allow them to talk you out of it?
Speaker: That's where I come in. To tell you, you matter. To remind you, it's already in you. Whatever it is you want to pursue, whatever life you want to live, you're at the crossroad of a decision.
Speaker: You can be the answer to your own prayer, or you can keep holding back. So let me take you inside again into my journal entry where it's raw, it's honest, and it went something like this.
Speaker: I'm a visual mind. I see the way I want to see myself. I see myself walking out life with purpose. I write it down because I believe what we think about, we become.
Speaker: Our thoughts control our feelings. Our feelings control our actions. So I asked myself, how do I want to live? And what came next?
Speaker: It poured out of me. I am so happy now. I see myself in black leather pants. A crisp white button-down shirt, right? Red high heels.
Speaker: Head held high. Chest proud. Confident in who I am in every situation. Bringing light and encouragement wherever I go. Laughing.
Speaker: Deep belly laughs with my husband and my boys. The weight of money struggles? Gone. Instead, we talk about intentional spending.
Speaker: about saving with purpose, about knowing our worth. I dream of mission work again, of vacations paid in cash, friendships that are deep, soulful, and freeing.
Speaker: And I trust the ones who leave were never meant for the next chapter. I say this out loud in my journal, Lord, show me what is already here because It's already here, friend.
Speaker: The life you're waiting on. The purpose you're chasing. It's not far away. It's already inside of you. So today, I want you to remember this.
Speaker: You are never, you are never your past. You are always becoming. You are already worthy. And people need you.
Speaker: Your light, your truth, your joy. Keep showing up. Keep dreaming loud. Keep choosing to believe that your story matters. Because it does.
Speaker: I know this was quick and to the point, but sometimes i just think that we need to have something that we can play back again whenever these doubts start come creeping up and thinking that we don't matter, that we're not seen.
Speaker: just want this to be a quick reference so you can bring this back to the forefront and see how important you are, how loved you are, how valued you are.
Speaker: and it's time to stop hiding. Let your light shine, friend. Yes. Say yes to the knock. And I want you to go for it.
