In this interview excerpt, Speaker A describes how a longstanding, vague idea about helping adoptive parents finally crystallized after a conversation with Speaker B. The realization that focusing on post‑adoption support could be a distinct niche sparked excitement but also significant fear about the financial and operational risks of launching such a venture. Speaker A acknowledges that the fear persists but notes that coaching—particularly the encouragement and mindset shifts provided by Speaker B—has helped them move past the anxiety, reinforcing a mantra that fear will not dictate their actions.

There was always like this idea in my head, but I didn't know how to formulate it until I met you, you know? And then I was like, this is exactly what I've been thinking about. I always thought like, how can I help adoptive parents more? And when I was in the schools, I did post-adoption support part-time. So I always thought to myself like, there has to be something more I can do. And then when me and you talked and we were talking about my niche, I'm like, this is it. This is exactly how I can do that. So.
Yeah. When you figured that out, you're like, this is it, this is how I can actually do it. Can you speak about the emotions that came with taking this leap of faith?
Having like that aha moment, so to speak, was exciting and I knew I wanted to do it, but there was definitely this level of fear. The investment was fearful, the work was fearful, not knowing exactly what I was getting into. And there's still— it's still there sometimes. But I will say through our coaching, I feel like I have taken a big leap over that. Or when I start to at least feel it, I hear your voice in my head like, no, Fear is not going to get me.
