Episode #365: From Fear to Confidence with Jessica Borrowets
Fear has a sneaky way of convincing us we’re not ready, not qualified, or not capable of chasing our biggest dreams. In this inspiring episode, Leanne Kim sits down with Jessica Borrowets, founder of The Artful Child, to explore how she moved through fear, burnout, and self-doubt to build a business rooted in joy, creativity, and confidence.
Jessica shares her journey from running a legacy preschool to becoming a thought leader in child-led art education. Along the way, she faced the emotional weight of trying to do it all. And the fear that told her to shrink her goals. But through coaching, imperfect action, and a whole lot of heart, she found the courage to dream big again.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How fear held Jessica back and how she broke free
- The mindset shift that helped her triple her revenue
- Why letting go of a goal doesn’t mean giving up on it
- How sending 100 emails led to a game-changing opportunity
- What confidence looks like when it’s built from the inside out
