Is Your Need for Security Holding You Back?

Let’s talk about that word we all crave: security. Security feels safe. It’s the steady paycheck. The predictable relationship. The job title that sounds impressive at family dinners. It’s the illusion that if we hold on tightly enough, we won’t fall. But deep down the truth that most women don’t want to admit, sometimes the thing we call “security” is actually what’s keeping us stuck.

So many ambitious women have dreams that stretch beyond where they are right now. They want to build something of their own. They want to travel more, live boldly, take risks, love harder, and step into their power, yet they stay where it’s comfortable. Why?

Because security feels easier than uncertainty. And uncertainty, to many of us, feels like danger.

 The Illusion of “Safety”

Here’s the plot twist: safety doesn’t always mean peace. Sometimes, safety is the job that drains you, but pays on time. Sometimes, safety is the relationship that feels familiar, but no longer fuels you. Sometimes, safety is saying “maybe next year” to your dream, because deep down, you’re scared to fail.

Security can masquerade as stability, but often, it’s fear in disguise. And fear loves to dress up as logic. It’ll whisper things like:

✦“Now’s not the right time.”

✦“You need more experience.”

✦“What if you can’t handle it?”

But underneath those whispers is the truth: you’re afraid of losing control.

Growth Requires Discomfort

Every woman who has reinvented herself, who has built a business, walked away from the wrong job, or stepped into her purpose, has had to give up something that once felt safe.

Growth demands discomfort. It requires you to step into the unknown and trust that you’ll learn to swim once you’ve jumped.

You can’t hold on to your comfort zone and your next level at the same time. One hand has to let go. So ask yourself:

What would happen if you stopped chasing security and started chasing self-trust instead?

Because self-trust is the real safety net. It’s the quiet knowing that whatever happens, success, failure, or something in between, you can handle it.

 Queen, Here’s Your Reminder

✦ You were not born to play small.

✦ You were not made to shrink to fit someone else’s version of stability.

✦ You were not put here to live on autopilot, choosing comfort over calling.

Your next chapter is waiting, but it won’t start until you stop clinging to what feels “safe.”

So here’s your challenge:

✦ This week, do one thing that pushes you beyond your comfort zone.

✦ Send that email.

✦ Apply for that opportunity. Launch that idea.

Because the life you’re craving won’t meet you in your comfort zone, it’s waiting for you on the other side of fear.

Your security shouldn’t come from your circumstances, it should come from your courage.

It’s Time to Stop Shrinking

You weren’t born to play small. You were born to shine - to be seen, to be heard, to stand tall in who you are.

If you’ve been craving the confidence to finally step out of your comfort zone, set boundaries, and stop second-guessing yourself…
