Waiting to “feel ready” is the biggest lie keeping you stuck. In this episode, we expose the myth of readiness—and how fear, conditioning, and your nervous system quietly trap you in familiar pain while costing you confidence, joy, and growth.

Through real stories of launching a first retreat while terrified and leading it year after year, we unpack why confidence doesn’t come before courage—it comes from it. You’ll learn how to train confidence like a muscle through small, repeatable actions that build self-trust and momentum.

We dig into the psychology of delay, exploring how avoidance protects you from rejection but reinforces self-doubt—and how to rewrite that story using proof from your own resilience.

You’ll walk away with three practical tools to break patterns today:

1. Do one thing differently to interrupt your habit loop.
2. Speak a hard truth out loud to release shame.
3. Ask directly for support so help stops being a guessing game.

We share simple, science-backed examples—from changing your morning phone routine to walking instead of numbing—to help you rewire your nervous system for progress, not perfection. Healing isn’t a moment; it’s a lifestyle that compounds over time.
