Your palms sweat. Your throat tightens. You hover over “publish” or “send,” and suddenly your brain goes blank. Why does showing up feel so unsafe—and how can we move through it with courage? In this episode of Create the Courage to Be Fearless, we sit down with Cheryl B. Engelhardt, two-time Grammy-nominated composer, artist, and certified trauma-informed coach. Cheryl shares the tender story of a courageous creative leap: two weeks after losing her best friend and collaborator, she boarded a train across the country and told her fans she might make an album on the ride. That moment of honesty, uncertainty, and action became a turning point—and opens a wider conversation about visibility anxiety, performance fear, and nervous system regulation.
