Getting uncomfortable… 😅

Stepping back into studio TV for the AUSL Draft after so long brought ALL the emotions—fear, nerves, doubt, pressure… and also excitement.

If I’m honest, I wanted to say no.
I questioned if I was good enough.
There are so many polished pros in this space, and I didn’t want to do it unless I could do these incredible athletes, this league, and this moment justice.

But I said yes anyway.
A scared yes.

Was I perfect? Nope.
Was I terrified? At times, absolutely.
But I made it through… and actually kinda loved the challenge.

So thankful for the amazing team around me cherikempf  daniellelawrie15  Chuckie Kempf, caseyc0512 & the entire productions team & especially my husband, who survived my week of nervous prep and reminded me right before we went live:

“Even if you suck, the kids and I still love you.” 🤣

Sometimes growth looks like showing up scared.
Sometimes courage sounds like saying yes when fear says no.

A good reminder:
Don’t let fear win & be sure to get your theauslofficial game tickets this summer is going to be epic!
