EP 40 - Your Short-term Capacity Isn't Your Long-term Potential


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t have enough time to create what you truly want, you’re not alone. But what if that experience is not just about your schedule—but about how you’re relating to time and your own pace?

In this episode, I explore the gap between your short-term capacity and long-term potential, and how a common thought pattern—“I don’t have enough time”—can quietly keep you stuck.

I unpack how our brains tend to overestimate what we can do in the short term and underestimate what we can build over time—and how this cognitive bias can lead to frustration, self-doubt, and giving up on what matters most.

This is especially important for intuitive founders in times of crisis, when our capacity is already limited, but our expectations often remain the same.


You’ll hear:

  • Why “I don’t have enough time” is not a neutral thought—and how it shapes your results.
  • How this pattern impacts your nervous system, focus, and ability to follow through.
  • The hidden cost of measuring your potential through a short-term lens.
  • Where this thought pattern comes from and why it makes sense.
  • A simple but powerful practice to help you question this thought pattern and begin to shift it.
  • What it looks like to stay in relationship with your goals instead of trying to complete them right away
