If you’ve been waiting for life to calm down (or for your plan to feel “perfect”) before taking action, this episode is your permission slip to stop waiting. In this episode, I break down why progress does not require a perfect plan or a perfect life, and why waiting for either often keeps you stuck longer than necessary. Using real client stories, she shows how meaningful progress happens inside messy seasons, not after them.
You’ll hear:
Why even the best plans will never go 100% as expected
How to use a plan as a GPS, not a rigid rulebook
Real examples of progress made during burnout, grief, health challenges, and chaos
Why adjusting your path is not failure, it’s follow-through
How to take imperfect action this week instead of waiting
Your Accountable Action:
Ask yourself: “What is one imperfect step I can take this week toward the thing I care about without waiting for perfect?”
Self Accountability Tool:

Big goals are hard—especially when your to-do list looks like a Cosco receipt. Get the support and accountability you need at amandamckinney.com/workwithme.
