Behind the Highlight Reel: The Fear Nobody Talks About When You Are Growing
Here is the truth about growth that nobody posts on social media.
It is terrifying.
In Episode 7 of Taking Life by the Raines, Brandi gets into the biggest transitional period of her career and her life. Since January her nervous system has been in fight-or-flight mode. She is launching a hair company. Her supplement company is dropping four new products and exploring a major partnership. And the platform she has built her entire career on, network marketing, is being reinvented from the ground up.
This episode is for every woman in a transitional season who is scared to take the next step. The woman who sees people succeeding online and assumes they have it figured out. They do not. Brandi does not either. And she is showing you what it looks like to keep moving through it anyway.
In this episode:
• The CEO meeting in Utah that changed everything
• Komigo becoming Curated: what the rebrand means and why Brandi is all in
• Launching a hair company and four new supplement products simultaneously
• What network marketing is being replaced with and why Brandi is not walking away
• Imposter syndrome: the world's worst case of it and why every successful person has it too
• High performers are just as scared as you. They have just figured out how to keep moving.
• Motivation is a feeling. Discipline is a decision. The difference matters.
• God will close the door if you are not meant to walk through it, and sometimes He will not and it becomes a lesson
• Peace that makes no sense: leaning into Philippians 4 and faith in chaos
• Agape love, sacrificial service, and showing up for others even when you are scared
• Big risk, big win or big lesson: you have nothing to lose
