Have you ever caught yourself stuck in “plan to plan” mode? You know, where you’re endlessly researching, collecting info, or waiting for the perfect time to finally start that new project, pivot your business, or chase down that dream idea?

If so, this episode is for you.

I’m sharing why waiting for that “right time” is usually just procrastination in disguise, how my own big life pivots were shaped by unexpected challenges, and why the “first pancake” approach is the best way to finally move forward. Whether it’s watercolor painting, launching a program, or simply sending the dang email, it’s time to stop overthinking and just start.

In this episode, you’ll hear…

  • Why waiting for the “perfect moment” keeps you stuck longer than you think
  • The real dangers of endlessly gathering info (hello, overwhelm!)
  • How to build your business confidence without outsourcing your gut instinct
  • Why conflicting advice online is a recipe for paralysis
  • The “first pancake” method to get moving even when you don’t feel ready
  • A personal story of how I finally stopped waiting and took action
