What really stops us from starting? In this solo ClockingOut episode PR (King of Hearts) gets honest about doubt, judgment, money/time excuses, and the “I’ll do it tomorrow” loop. We cover practical ways to start small, protect your energy, and deal with unsupportive voices plus how starting creates its own confidence.
