What’s REALLY Holding You Back Right Now?

I want to start a conversation today that every single one of us can relate to, no matter your skill level, background, or where you are in your journey.

Because whether you're learning frontend, freelancing, switching careers, or leveling up your dev skills, there’s always one thing that quietly slows you down and most people never talk about it.

So let’s talk about it!

👉 What’s the REAL thing holding you back right now?

Not the polished answer. Not the “motivation speech” answer. Not the textbook answer. I mean the honest one. The one you usually keep to yourself.

Here are a few I hear all the time:

💬 “I get overwhelmed and shut down.”

💬 “I don’t know if I’m smart enough for this.”

💬 “I start strong but lose momentum.”

💬 “I’m scared to put my work out there.”

💬 “I don’t know what to focus on next.”

💬 “I feel behind compared to everyone else.”

💬 “Life keeps getting in the way and I feel guilty starting over.”

💬 “I’m afraid of failing publicly.”
