You're Not Stuck You're Being Tested | How to Move Through Fear Instead of Backward

Are old fears resurfacing? It doesn't mean you're going backward. It means you're getting closer. In this episode, I talk about limitations and how they act as a mirror for your next expansion.

Most of all, I reveal the true importance of surrounding yourself with expanders, and why your biggest limitations are actually the key to breaking through your ceiling.

Every expansion or transformation begins with a decision. When I look back at the growth seasons I've had, there was always one specific energy at the center of it: the energy of decision.

Today, I walk you through how to step into and operate from this pure decision energy in order to create real momentum for yourself. I also break down the 2 biggest pitfalls we often mistake as productive energy, but in reality keep us stuck and playing small.

There comes a point where the version of you who built your current success is no longer the version who will lead your next evolution. Today, I break down the challenges of navigating "the gap" when there's so much more at stake, and what makes it especially difficult to upgrade, change course, or pivot at this level. I talk about the 4 major signs you're being called to expand in bigger ways, what's required of us to let go of in order to evolve, and how to ground yourself when you're in the middle of shedding old identities. Somewhere deep inside there's a quiet knowing that something bigger is coming. You might not have proof yet, but you can feel your life rearranging itself around something profound, now is the time to lean into it, take action, and trust the process.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 Why navigating "the gap" becomes harder after you've built success. 05:10 4 signs you are in the middle or being called to upgrade your identity. 09:50 How do you navigate the gap when there's more at stake? 11:10 What to do when you have to let go of security in order to transform. 18:00 How to process + make decisions as a leader who is still evolving. 22:35 Ways to cultivate connections that expand you (even when it feels scary.) 27:40 Why your consciousness sets your ceiling + how to raise it for yourself, your business, and your team. 33:10 What to remember when you're stepping into a new identity. 38:25 What should you do when you know something bigger is coming?   RESOURCES + LINKS Applications for our Spring 2026 Expanders Retreat are now LIVE - apply HERE!   Join the waitlist for the 2026 Powerhouse Women Event HERE!   FOLLOW Powerhouse Women: @powerhouse_women Lindsey: @lindseymarieofficial Visit the Powerhouse Women website: powerhousewomen.co Join the PW Community Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/powerhousewomencommunity

Any time you're about to go to the next level, you'll be given the opportunity to prove to yourself that you can actually hold it. Today, I break down the initiation that happens before we can hold the next level of risk, responsibility, abundance, and more. If you're someone who is calling in massive expansion, you're likely being given opportunities to prove that you can hold it right now (in the form of tests, challenges, or triggers). This is your sign that it isn't the time to pull back… this is the time to lock in, stop defaulting to old patterns of behavior, and prove you can handle the version of yourself you're stepping into.   HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 What is the first step of holding the next level?  03:40 What is the initiation and how does it show up in our lives? 05:15 How writing my book helped me move through fear. 10:00 The typo that stretched me to choose expansion over perfection. 14:50 Unexpected ways the next level challenges us. 21:00 The biggest lesson I learned from my skin cancer scare. 27:00 What happens when we're faced with the opportunity for expansion? 31:05 How to find the opportunities that prove you can hold the next level.   RESOURCES + LINKS Applications for our Spring 2026 Expanders Retreat are now LIVE - apply HERE!   Join the waitlist for the 2026 Powerhouse Women Event HERE!   FOLLOW Powerhouse Women: @powerhouse_women Lindsey: @lindseymarieofficial Visit the Powerhouse Women website: powerhousewomen.co Join the PW Community Facebook Group: facebook.com/groups/powerhousewomencommunity
