The Talent (Part II) | When Preparation Turns Into Hiding

There's a difference between protecting something and burying it. Sometimes that difference is fear.
In Part II of The Talent, Wanda explores what stewardship actually requires—and why responsible-looking habits can sometimes keep us from developing what we already have.
From unopened financial statements and unused course knowledge to ideas that have remained in notebooks for years, this conversation examines the space between preparing for something and participating in it.
Drawing on the parable of the talents, Wanda challenges a common assumption: that keeping something safe always means we're caring for it well.
The conversation also explores a deeper possibility. What if we're not simply afraid of failure? What if we're afraid of the evidence that comes from actually trying?
This isn't an invitation to abandon planning, take unnecessary financial risks, or turn every gift into a business. It's an invitation to examine whether our preparation is still serving its purpose.
Reflection: Is there something in your life you've been carefully preserving that may now need thoughtful development?
