My Journey to Venus

Carrie Dickie ascends the convention center stage while a mesmerized crowd of 7,000 zealous entrepreneurs cheer her on. Infectious energy, thunderous applause, and raised arms should have been her victory lap. Yet self-doubt claws at her core. Her legs crumple under the crushing weight of inner turmoil and the title of "Million-Dollar Earner." In that moment Carrie is back in kindergarten where they celebrate the other boy's birthday and forget hers. She is in first grade with tears streaming down her face because she doesn't "get" the math and is too afraid to speak up. She is in seventh grade on the cheerleading squad and the girls shame her because she isn't pop-u-lar. Moments of anxiety and failure play in her mind like a movie. She cannot hold the praise and the title. She is an impostor. In Journey to Venus, Carrie's story navigates fear and doubt. Her witty narrative is a testament to resilience, demonstrating how you too can transform your inner struggles into steppingstones toward your unshakable dream. Embark on this odyssey and discover how to harness fear as a catalyst for your personal growth and ultimate triumph.
