What if everything the world used to label you was never meant to limit you?

On this inspiring episode of The You Can Show, Dr. Nina M. Addison welcomes coach, author, speaker, former attorney, and entrepreneur Benecia Ponder for a powerful conversation about resilience, identity, faith, and finding the courage to pursue your purpose.

At just 19 years old, Benecia faced two life-changing challenges: becoming a young mother and losing most of her vision. But instead of allowing those circumstances to stop her, she continued her education and went on to become a successful attorney.

She had the career. She had the income. She had achieved what many would consider success.

But was she truly living in her purpose?

Benecia shares why she eventually walked away from her legal career to become a full-time entrepreneur, what she learned along the way, and why she encourages others to make thoughtful decisions when transitioning into entrepreneurship.

We also explore the labels society places on us, the labels we place on ourselves, and how to break free from identities that no longer reflect who we are or who God has called us to become.

Benecia also introduces her newest collaborative book project, More Than a Label, and shares an opportunity for aspiring authors to join this inspirational publication.

Whether you've experienced disability, rejection, unexpected life changes, career dissatisfaction, or the pressure to live according to someone else's expectations, this episode will remind you:

Your circumstances are not your identity. Your success is not your entire purpose. And your story is not over!

You are more than a label. You have purpose. And no matter what... YOU CAN!

What is fear costing you?

The opportunity you didn’t pursue?
The business you haven’t started?
The book you haven’t written?
The conversation you keep avoiding?
The dream you keep putting off?
The purpose you know God is calling you toward?

Fear has a price—and sometimes we don’t realize how much we’ve paid until we look at everything we’ve allowed fear, self-doubt, procrastination, rejection, our past, or other people’s opinions to keep us from doing.

On this episode of The You Can Show, Dr. Nina M. Addison, The You Can Specialist, is asking one powerful question:

WHAT IS IT COSTING YOU?

Maybe your “IT” is fear. Maybe it’s self-doubt. Maybe it’s your past. Maybe it’s perfectionism, procrastination, insecurity, disappointment, or the belief that you’re too old, too late, too inexperienced, or too far behind.

Whatever your “IT” is, it does not have to keep controlling your future.

In this episode, Dr. Nina shares practical and faith-based strategies to help you confront fear, change the way you think, strengthen your faith, take action, and move toward the life and purpose God has placed inside of you.

We’re talking about how to:

• Identify what you’re really afraid of
• Separate facts from the stories fear tells you
• Stop allowing your past to determine your future
• Move even when you don’t feel fearless
• Replace fear-filled thinking with faith-filled truth
• Take the next step instead of trying to figure out the entire journey
• Surround yourself with people who strengthen your faith
• Give yourself permission to start again at ANY age
• Stop waiting until you feel completely ready
• Decide that your purpose is worth more than your fear

You do not have to wait until fear disappears before you move. You simply have to decide that fear no longer gets to lead.

📖 2 Timothy 1:7 reminds us that God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind.

So here's the question:

If fear were completely removed from the equation, what would you do?

And the bigger question:

What is IT costing you to keep waiting?

It’s time to See It. Break It. Believe It. Build It. Become It.™

🔥 Watch the full episode and then share this with someone who has been allowing fear to keep them from moving.
