The Freedom Of Shedding Fear
Showing Up With Courage
“I always had someone tell me that I did not deserve the things I had achieved…”
“Not many people will believe you if you tell them that you have a fear of succeeding.
I spent most of my teenage years fearing the limelight. It’s never a good feeling to know that you have what it takes, but the world might tear you apart the moment you are 'seen'.
Unwind, my newsletter on Substack changed this notion for me. For the first time in my life, I took the plunge to share my words with the world and it completely changed how I think about getting noticed.
I always had someone tell me that I did not deserve the things I had achieved, but I was only wasting my precious time and energy in proving to them that I did.
My newsletter is now read by a generous number of readers, but beyond that, this journey has made me believe that my presence matters. My voice matters.
I am now on a path to let go of the fear that my name and my words might pop up on the screens of more and more people on Substack and see this as an opportunity to keep showing up with the courage to do my bit in spreading positivity in this world which can sometimes be a little negative.
Never let anybody make you believe you are not enough because you are. There are a million reasons for you to not show up. You only need to find one that allows you to.”

Wow powerful message that I need to read. Will return to this often thank you.
Thank you for this, Niall. A feeling of being not good enough with which most of us can identify, I am sure. I certainly do but let's not allow external factors stop us from creating and sharing, from speaking our truth and... yes, publishing our opus.
