Description

 Hey loves, it’s Kate — and this week’s episode is one that’s close to my heart because it’s something I see everywhere: waiting to feel ready.

We tell ourselves: “When I lose a little more weight… when I’m more confident… when I know more… then I’ll take action.” But let’s be real — that “ready” feeling almost never comes.

This episode breaks down the neuroscience of procrastination, how the ego convinces us to wait for certainty, and why readiness is actually a stall tactic.

You’ll hear my own stories of waiting for the “perfect time,” how it shows up with my clients, and — most importantly — how to flip the script and start trusting yourself to move forward even when you’re scared or uncertain.

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • Why your brain craves certainty before it lets you take action

  • How the ego protects you by stalling progress (and why it feels so convincing)

  • The difference between motivation and readiness — and why motivation alone isn’t enough

  • How waiting for the “perfect time” showed up in my own fitness, business, and personal life

  • Simple reframes and trust practices to help you act before you feel ready

  2. What discomfort am I actually trying to avoid by waiting?

  3. How can I reframe that hesitation into self-trust and imperfect action?
