How Fear of Getting It Wrong Stops Progress in Equity Work & What to Do Instead

Have you ever stopped yourself from taking action because you were scared of getting it wrong?

Maybe you’ve wanted to make your business more inclusive, but the fear of causing harm or being seen as performative kept you from moving. That fear is real, but it’s also the very thing that keeps progress out of reach.

In this episode, I’m unpacking how fear shows up in racial equity work, why it feels so different from anything else we do, and how it quietly holds us back from the change we want to create.

You’ll learn the difference between being thoughtful and being frozen, where this fear really comes from and what it looks like to move forward with compassion, even when you’re uncertain.

If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time to do this work or worried that one wrong move could undo everything, this episode will help you find steady ground again.

So grab your notebook and join me as we talk about how fear of getting it wrong stops progress in equity work and what to do instead.
