About Jandra
I’ve been obsessed with telling stories for as long as I can remember.
It’s who I am, and it’s part of my DNA. When I was a kid, I would imagine my own life story — traveling around the world, kicking ass as a super-secret spy, and helping people along the way — and not much has changed since then.
we all know what to do.
the problem is how.
For most people—like me—who struggle with fear, failure, imposter syndrome, anxiety, and more, the problem isn’t that we don’t know what to do. We know we should step outside of our comfort zones. We know we should believe in ourselves. We know we should cultivate a mindset that encourages growth.
The problem is HOW.
How do I face my fears?
How do I learn to move through them?
How do I reclaim control over my life?
How do I prevent anxiety from controlling me?
How do I cope with imposter syndrome?
How do I move past my failures?
If we’re going to struggle, and—let’s face it—we all are, then it’s not about eliminating that struggle. It’s not about never having to deal with problems in our lives. Although that’s a nice thought, we’re all very aware that it’s not realistic.
For me, I just wanted to know how to keep moving forward anyway. I spent years searching for a solution to my fear and all of the complications that came along with it—productivity issues, confidence, career growth, and more—but I didn’t realize that getting rid of the fear didn’t actually matter.
I’m still afraid.
I’m afraid right now.
I’m afraid of speaking my mind.
I’m afraid of putting myself out there.
But I’m going to do it anyway.
