Do It Afraid
When my daughter Tristyn was about 4, I had a mom-guilt moment. I had been on the phone all day coaching people and said one too many times "not now," "in a minute," "I'll be right there" and she just sat on the floor playing, and I was certain, feeling slighted.
Fast forward a few weeks later to the first children's church program she was in. She did her thing and afterward I said "how did it go, what did you think?" She answered, "At first I was super nervous, there were so many people. Then I remembered what you said and I "did it afraid.”
I realized in all of those guilty moments she was listening and learning... and the legacy I want to leave was born. Do it afraid.
Tristyn, my daughter, is now 14 and she has been "doing it afraid" ever since. She gets credit for a mantra I live in with pride. I hope in your life, you "do it afraid.”
Be bold, be brave, do it anyway. It's worth it and you may discover something unexpected, something that will change your life.

To all the women who show up with courage, in the face of fear, and completely afraid... this tee is for you.
There are so many of us who show up despite the nerves, despite the "imposter" telling us we can't, despite the stories we have told ourselves for years and years ("I'm too this" or "I'm not good enough for that").
This tee is a reminder to ourselves and those who see it to do it afraid. Whatever "it" is for you...face your fears afraid.
