Ep06 | How to Take the Leap When You’re Afraid of Failing (And What To Do When You Fall)

What would your life look like if fear wasn’t in charge?
What if you submitted the job application, finally booked the girls trip, or launched the business idea you’ve been dreaming about—but have been too scared to start?

In this empowering episode, Dr. Onaysia Martinez — first-gen Latina, physical therapist turned identity liberation coach — unpacks the real reason you keep putting off the life you want: fear of failure, fear of sucking, fear of not being “perfect” from the start.

✨ In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to stop waiting until you're “ready” and just start

• Why fear is not a stop sign — it’s a signal

• A powerful reframe of failure as fuel for success

• How to take bold action, even when you're scared (and maybe not that good yet)

If you’ve been searching:
