Be Afraid of Not Even Trying

Join the Rise With Joice Circle

We’re often taught to fear failure.

To stay safe. To wait for the “right time.” (well even I was the same)

To only step forward when we’re sure we’ll succeed.


But here’s the truth:

Failure isn’t the scariest thing.

Never trying at all? That’s the real fear.


Because when you don’t try,

you don’t just avoid the pain —

you miss the growth, the experience, the spark.

You silence your voice before it ever had a chance to rise.


💬 What if it does work?

What if the job you’re scared to apply for… is the one that changes your life?

What if the idea you’ve been hiding… is what the world is waiting for?

What if the version of you you’ve been avoiding… is the one who’s most alive?


You’ll never know if you don’t try.

And that’s a truth many women live with in silence —

not because they couldn’t… but because they never believed they could.


🌸 This is your reminder:

Don’t be afraid to:

  • Be seen starting from scratch.
  • Speak even if your voice shakes.
  • Stand even if you’re the only one standing.



Trying is not weakness —

trying is strength.

It means you’re showing up. For yourself. For your dreams.

And that’s the first step to rising.


✨ Rise With Joice

This space is for women who are done waiting.

Done shrinking.

Done doubting.


It’s your time to try —

and your time to rise.

Even if it’s messy. Even if it’s hard.

Especially then.

The Cup Broke. I Didn’t. ☕💔

Join the Rise With Joice Circle
There was nothing fancy about the cup. No gold rim. No quote from a bestselling author. It wasn’t even microwave safe (which I learned the hard way). But it was mine. A soft blue mug with a tiny crack on the side. Gifted by someone who knew I liked “chai more than people.” 🫖 The Mug That Held More Than Tea It became my morning therapist. My “we’re not okay but pretending we are” sidekick. It sat with me through: Cold mornings Quiet tears Loud dreams And a few burnt-toast breakfasts Honestly? That cup had seen more of me than most people had. 💥 And Then… It Happened. I was having one of those days—where your to-do list judges you harder than society ever has. In between reheating chai and scrolling Instagram, it slipped. Fell to the floor. Shattered. I stared at the pieces like they had betrayed me. 🎭 I Know, It’s “Just a Mug,” But Also… It wasn’t just about ceramic. It was about everything else that had cracked quietly over the past few years: Plans I had to postpone People who left...

Confessions of a Professional Overthinker (And How I Found Peace in Spilled Coffee)

Join the Rise With Joice Circle
Let’s get one thing straight: I did not wake up one day and magically become this beacon of positivity and light. No, no. I woke up, tripped over a slipper, burned my toast, and cried over a coffee spill. That’s how most of my days begin — and somehow, that’s where the wisdom lies. Chapter One: The Grand Mess of ‘Perfect’ I used to think life should look like Pinterest boards. Clean desks, fancy mugs, perfect morning routines. Reality? My desk is a war zone of sticky notes, I drink coffee from a chipped cup that says “World’s Okayest Human,” and my morning routine consists of 37 alarms and one dramatic sigh. And still… I’m doing okay. Here’s the truth: We spend so much time trying to “get it right” that we forget life is happening — now, in all its messy, hilarious, chaotic glory. Chapter Two: Motivation by Accident I found inspiration in the weirdest place: My 3-year-old niece. She spilled juice, said “Oopsie! It’s okay,” and went on to conquer the living room like a queen. No breakdo...

“She didn’t break—she rebuilt.” Meera was 35 when her marriage ended. She walked out of the courtroom with no husband, no savings, and no plan. just a bag of clothes and her self-respect.  People whispered: “Poor thing.” She answered with a silent promise: “Watch me rise.” Her Comeback Started With a Cup of Chai With nowhere to go, she moved back to her parents’ home. One rainy evening, she made her special masala chai for guests.  Everyone asked: “What’s your recipe?” Her brother joked, “You should bottle this and sell it!” That joke sparked an idea. Within weeks, she created her brand: “Meera’s Chai Mood.”  She started blending her own tea masala, sourcing local ingredients, and selling online. From Divorcee to Director Today, Meera’s teas are stocked in 15 boutique cafes across two cities.
