Faith Over Fear: Turning Your Butterflies Into Breakthroughs

Have you ever wondered how much your fears are truly costing you? In this week’s episode of the MAXOUT Your Mind Masterclass, I’m getting real about one of the most powerful forces in your life, fear, and how it quietly keeps you from becoming the person you were born to be. I used to live afraid. Afraid I wasn’t good enough, afraid of what people thought, afraid to lose people who didn’t even want the best for me. But what I’ve learned is that fear isn’t your enemy, it’s your invitation. Every great thing in your life is waiting for you on the other side of it.

In this episode, I walk you through how to stop letting fear define your decisions and start using it as fuel for your growth. You’ll learn how to reframe fear as what I call “butterfly moments," those powerful times when fear and excitement mix together just before something incredible happens. From overcoming my fear of public speaking to watching my daughter face her own fears, I’ve learned that you don’t need to eliminate fear to move forward, you just need to get to 51% courage.

I also share a set of real tools that have helped me and countless others dance with fear instead of running from it. You’ll learn how to use breathing techniques, visualization, humor, and even “trigger words” to shift your emotional state in seconds. Fear and excitement create the same chemistry in your body... the difference is what you name it. Once you learn to rename your fear as anticipation, everything changes.

If you’ve been living with invisible anchors holding you down: old stories, toxic relationships, and self-doubt, this is your moment to let go. The goal isn’t to become fearless; it’s to fear less and act more. Because when you do, you’ll finally meet the version of you that’s been waiting on the other side. And that version? That’s the one who was born to do something great.

Key Takeaways:

• Fear and excitement are biochemically identical, it’s all about how you interpret them

• How to reframe fear as a “butterfly moment” that signals growth is near

• Why you only need 51% courage to take action

• The power of trigger words and visualization to change your emotional state instantly

• How to turn your fears into fuel for confidence, connection, and calling

You don’t have to kill your fear. You just have to rename it. Because every time you face it, you earn your wings.
