I’ve carried physical crutches my whole life. But here’s the truth:

We all carry something.
Some of us lean on fear.
Some on perfectionism, people-pleasing, or self-doubt.
Some of us carry the quiet belief that we’re too broken, too late, or too much.

What is your crutch?

This newsletter is for anyone carrying something — a disability, a fear, a limiting belief — who's ready to stop letting it define them. Every week I'll help you identify what's holding you back and show you how to turn it into your greatest strength.

We all have crutches.
We also have the choice to put them down.

I created this newsletter to help you identify your crutch and lead with Courage, Resilience, Understanding, Trust, Confidence, and Heart.

One truth I’ve learned:

My crutches don’t define me, and they don’t define you.

Watch my TEDx Talk here and then reply to this email with one word — what's your crutch?

If you're new here, I also host the Off The Crutch podcast where I talk with thought leaders about owning their story. Check it out here.

I hope every time you open this newsletter, you feel encouraged by the stories I share and empowered by the small steps you can take next. My goal is to genuinely help you grow personally or professionally.

Until next time,

Trav
