WHY THIS PROJECT WAS NECESSARY

You already know that "being fearless" doesn't mean having an absence of fear. Nope. It means you were scared,andyoudiditanyway.

Meet 100 women who have FACED FEAR DOWN and WALKED RIGHT ON into their destinies. They are not playing — and they don’t want to leave you stuck and frustrated. This national magazine was created to help women just like you leap forward, crushing fear. Soak up these women’s fierceness by reading their features, but most importantly, pay attention to how their mindset hadtoshiftsotheycouldeatfearforbreakfast.

Many studies show that women struggle more than men with fear and anxiety. The science points to the differences in brain chemistry and hormone fluctuations. Biology aside, you know that women tend to react differently to life events and have different coping mechanisms from men. We handle it differently. That’s why we need encouragement, especially from other womenwhohaveanovercomingmindsetaboutfear.

As a young girl, I lived in constant fear. I never knew when “the other shoe would drop,” meaning when my father, who suffered with the disease of alcoholism, would become even more violent and abusive, sending my mom, me, and my siblings running through the woods for our lives. I was already shy, this fearful environment certainlydidn’thelpwithdevelopingmyconfidence.

As I grew into adult life, I became an overachiever who played all strategies in my head before moving forward. This was my coping mechanism. I didn’t have to be fearfulifIvisitedallthepossiblescenariosandprepared myself to overcome and win at every turn. I wonder — doesthissoundlikeyou?BythetimeIreachedmy30s,I had a very successful career — but there was one problem.IwasnowsittingintheboardroomwithCEOs

and VPs and fear too often kept me from speaking up and being assertive. I was now running with the big dogs andhadtothinkonthefly.

MOMENT OF TRANSFORMATION

One day I got tired — no, not just tired, but sick and tired — of being stuck on the wall. Internally, I was roaring: “NO MORE!” This Bible verse pierced me, twisted me, pounded me, and stood me up: “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Psalm 118:6) It’s amazing how sixteen words can changeyourwholelife!

With these words shouting in my heart, I took my eyes off of people — horizontal thinking, or person-to-person focus.AndIbegantothinkvertically,me-to-Godfocus.

My new way of thinking: I am whom He says I am, and that is what matters. When I can meditate on His teachings and whom God says I am during my morning time with Him, I’m able to chew fear up and swallow it asIwalkintomyday.

It’s time for you to eat fear for breakfast, too. It’s time for you to roar, “NO MORE!”

The world is filled with successful women who refuse to allow their fear to hold them back. They get up every day and march toward greatness. These women aren’t any different from most women. They doubt themselves. They stay up worrying at night about their children, job, businesses, marriage, and money. And yep, they fear they’renotdoingthingsright.

Sound like you? Yeah, me, too. What makes them differentisthey’vedecidedtostarefeardowneveryday. They’ve learned that the very act of confronting and overcoming fears builds strength that keeps building until their foundation is rock solid. Not much can shake them. And now 100 of those fearless women are reachingbackforyou.Findyourselfintheirstories.
