Motivation Monday: Share Your Light… Even If You Feel Insecure

Have you ever held back from sharing something—an idea, a tip, a story, a video—because you were afraid of how you might look or what someone might think? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, that was exactly my topic for today’s Motivation Monday video.

I talked about something that I struggle with too: showing up on camera even when I’m feeling insecure. For me, that includes my big forehead, the extra weight I’m carrying right now, and even the way my mouth moves when I smile. These are the little things my brain loves to fixate on… even when no one else notices or cares.

But here’s what I reminded myself—and wanted to remind you, too:

When you share something that might help, support, or comfort another person, it is not about how you look.
It’s about who you might reach.

It’s about the person who needed to hear exactly what you said.
The person who learned something they didn’t know before.
The person who felt less alone because you showed up.

We don’t inspire others by being perfect.
We inspire them by being real.

So if you’ve been hesitating to record that video, post that photo, share that idea, or put your voice out into the world—take this as your sign. Do it anyway. Put the fear aside, even just for 30 seconds, and hit record. You have something valuable inside you, and keeping it locked away helps no one.

Let the goal be connection, not perfection.

Let the impact you can make matter more than the insecurity you feel.

And trust this truth:
People don’t remember your forehead, your weight, or your smile quirks.
They remember how you made them feel.

This week, choose courage.
Choose authenticity.
Choose to show up—exactly as you are.

Because someone out there needs your light.
