**Gravity is doing its job.**

It isn't trying to stop you.

It's simply doing what it was designed to do.

Fear is the same way.

Self-doubt.

Failure.

Criticism.

Disappointment.

They all have one thing in common.

They pull us down.

Just like gravity.

But here's what fascinates me...

Airplanes don't wait for gravity to disappear before they take off.

Birds don't wait until there is no wind before they fly.

They simply create more lift than gravity can hold down.

Life works the same way.

We spend so much time trying to eliminate fear, waiting until we feel confident enough, ready enough, or perfect enough...

When the real question isn't,

"How do I get rid of gravity?"

It's...

"How do I create more lift?"

For me...

Lift comes from purpose.

From faith.

From consistent practice.

From surrounding myself with people who encourage me.

From choosing courage over comfort.

Gravity will always be there.

But so will the ability to rise.

That's what **The Art of Flying™** is all about.

Not waiting for life to become easier...

Learning how to fly anyway.

Pole vault...

You voluntarily run full speed while carrying a pole, plant it in the ground, launch yourself into the air... and somehow convince yourself this is a good idea. 😂

After almost a month away from the runway—thanks to Australia, work, rainy weather, and a cat bite that had other plans for my hand—I stood at the end of the runway last night during my latest attempt to consistently return to practice at Pole Vault Miami (best team ever)!!!

And there it was, that 4-letter word...

**FEAR**

It had been patiently waiting for me.

For a split second, it whispered all the familiar questions...

*"What if...?"*

But then another voice spoke.

*"You've done this before."*

*"Trust yourself."*

*"Just go."*

So I did.

And just like that...

I remembered.

Not because the fear disappeared.

Because I decided it wasn't driving this moment.

Was it perfect?

Not even close!

Do I have a lot of work ahead?

Absolutely. But I am on my way!

Now my knee (torn meniscus) just needs to cooperate so I can get stronger, faster, and more powerful.

This practice wasn't about jumping higher.

**It was about getting back on track and proving to myself that my dream is still
Possible.**

One practice.

One vault.

One courageous decision.

One vault closer to World Championships in 2027- my goal.

Because everything I've learned—in sport, on stage, and in life—is this:

**Fear doesn't disappear before we take the leap. It simply gets quieter once we realize we're stronger than we thought.**

So... whatever "pole vault" you're facing today, don't let fear make the decision for you.

Take the first step.

You may surprise yourself.

2026 was my year of visibility...

After publishing my book, returning to competition, and launching the online academy in 2025, I knew the next step wasn't just building a business—it was finding my voice.

And that meant facing one of my biggest fears: public speaking.

When I first came across an ad for Next Top Speaker, I almost didn't apply as I was a complete beginner. But I took a chance, was selected from over 5,000 applicants, made the Top 100, and the following season reached the Top 50 out of more than 7,000 applicants. Most importantly, I proved to myself that courage grows every time we choose to step into the unknown.

Then another incredible opportunity appeared: Australia.

This past week has been truly transformational and unforgettable.

I spent the week surrounded by extraordinary speakers, inspiring and supportive coaches and incredible human beings, all committed to making a greater impact through their stories. I refined my keynote, learned the TEDx process as a TEDx finalist, stepped onto the stage with growing confidence, and ended the week at a Hollywood-style awards gala where I was honored with an International Speakers Excellence Award.

My heartfelt gratitude goes to Kaley W Chu , Dale Stevens, John Di Natale , and Jerry Roisentul for creating such an extraordinary platform. You didn't just teach us how to become better speakers—you helped us believe in the power of our voices.

To my fellow speakers, thank you for your authenticity, encouragement, and friendship - such an extraordinary community!

My heart is full. My soul is lit up. And this feels like only the beginning.

God continues to open doors I never imagined possible - so grateful!!! ❤️✈️
