Listen "Coaching Q&A Series: What If I’m Not Ready Yet?"

Episode Synopsis

In this episode of the Coaching Q&A Series, I’m tackling a big question: “What if I’m not ready yet?”
Whether it’s waiting for the “perfect time,” overcoming fear, or battling perfectionism, this episode dives deep into what’s really holding us back when we say we’re not ready. I share personal stories, examples from my clients, and actionable insights to help you move forward—even if everything doesn’t feel perfectly aligned yet.
You’ll learn how to challenge the myth of the perfect time, understand the cost of inaction, and take small, imperfect steps toward your goals.
Key Takeaways:

The Myth of the Perfect Time: How fear and perfectionism trick us into waiting for the “ideal” moment.
The Cost of Inaction: Why staying stuck in the same cycle costs more than imperfect progress.
Small Steps, Big Results: The power of experimenting and taking action, even when it feels scary.
Overcoming Perfectionism: Strategies to stop catastrophe planning and move forward with confidence.
