Biggest fears I
overcame after 4
years of uni
Signing up for
fight night
(Toughest 8 weeks
of my life)
First time donating
blood
(I HATE needles)
First time skiing
(I had to learn to ski in the
black (most dangerous) zone)
First time doing
corporate job interviews
(fear of constantly being
rejected and not good
enough)
First time public
speaking by myself
(fear of being judged if
I forgot what to say)
First zip wire
[over Niagara falls]
(Fear of heights)
First time filming a
talking video
(Fear of embarrassment)
Took a month of filming to
post 1 talking video
First time running
(Hated cardio, much
preferred to lift weights)
Doing my driving test
- failed first attempt
- had to redo my theory
- 3 different instructors
(hated every driving lesson)
First Time Living Out
(with a shared bathroom) for
my internship
(germs)
cheapest house I could find
(rent was STILL 100% of my
internship paycheck)
(previous/other housemates
left a total mess)
First time trying sales calls
Didn't know what I was
doing / to expect
The first time is always the
most difficult
It only gets easier
Beat the fear of the unknown.
Follow along as I face my
fears, and let's step out
our comfort zone together.
