Season 2 of Big Talk at the Table begins with a conversation about one of the biggest lies we tell ourselves:
“I need everything figured out before I can start.”
Have you ever waited to take the first step because you didn’t feel ready, confident enough, experienced enough, or completely sure where it would lead?
In Lie #1 of this five-part series, Joni Leigh and Bonita Jacque pull up a chair and talk honestly about what happens when we convince ourselves that clarity has to come before action.
Joni shares how she sold nearly everything, bought an RV, started a completely new chapter of her life, and still spent months trying to figure out exactly what her next step was supposed to look like before launching her podcast. Bonita shares her own journey from pharmacist to coach and how a series of seemingly small decisions eventually led her somewhere she never could have planned in advance.
Together, they talk about why women often wait for confidence before taking action, why fear of looking inexperienced keeps us on the sidelines, why asking for help can feel so difficult, and what changes when someone else believes in what is possible for us before we believe it ourselves.
You’ll also hear why Bonita suggests giving your inner critic a name, how small steps build confidence, and why the most important conversation you have this week may be the one you have with yourself.
In this episode, we talk about:
- Why you do not need the entire plan before you begin
- How fear of what other people think keeps women from putting themselves out there
- Why confidence often follows action instead of coming before it
- The power of asking for help
- How small decisions can completely change the direction of your life
- Learning to trust yourself when you cannot see the whole staircase
- Recognizing the stories you have repeated so often that they have started to feel like truth
Joni and Bonita are both Certified Infinite Possibilities Trainers and draw from the work of Mike Dooley throughout this conversation.

Before you leave the table, ask yourself:
What have I been waiting to have completely figured out before I allow myself to begin?
