What if the best version of you is hiding behind the sentence: “I’m too scared to try that”?
In this episode of The Powerful Project, I’m joined by Sarah Mack, the legend behind Fit Perth Life — to talk about her mission of trying 200 new things in a year (yes… TWO HUNDRED 😭) and how it completely rewired her confidence, mindset, and ability to handle anxiety + perfectionism.
We chat about everything from pole dancing, aerial yoga, horse riding, dance classes, obstacle courses, and the awkward reality of being a beginner again… to why fun is not a “reward” it’s part of growth.
And because the universe loves a collab moment 💜
We’re also teaming up for a Run Club collab, while Sarah has just launched her Fun Club, helping girls in Perth get out of their comfort zone and try new experiences with zero pressure.
If you’ve been stuck in overthinking mode, waiting to feel “ready”… this episode is your sign.
✨ Confidence isn’t built in comfort. It’s built in the trying.
