“I’ve had a lot of those fear-driven moments because for a long time, I just was totally enslaved to fear,” she said. “It was almost like fear would answer the question if I were going to do something or not or if I was going to take an opportunity.”
In a recent Instagram post, she said her fans kept messaging her, saying things like…
- “I would love to wear that… but I would be too scared!”
- “I would love to post that…. but I would be too scared!!”
- “I wish I could pull that off… but I’m too scared to try”

“WHAT ARE WE SCARED OF?!?” she wrote. “I believe we are scared of PEOPLE. The essence of the fear is not from clothes, the post, or even something pulling a pose off. We are scared of people’s view of us and the opinion or comment that follows that view.”
She told the story of how she went into Duck And Dressing, started by her sister, Rebecca, her mom, Korie. Rebecca asked her to try on a pair of jeans because everyone at the store was scared to.
“The truth is boys may not like these jeans,” Sadie said. “They aren’t tight and don’t fit in all the right places, but I genuinely loved them. They are comfy and I was confident in how I felt as I’m sure y’all would be too.”
She then pointed out the overall message she was trying to convey to her Instagram followers.
“It ultimately comes down to what level of importance we are putting on these things and trying to portray,” she wrote. “There are a lot of scary things in the world, but clothes should not be one of them or people’s comments.”
She said the key to killing fear is “confidence in the things bigger than yourself.”
