What if the most polished form of self‑sabotage is the one that sounds wise and looks responsible—waiting? This week I'm taking you through another 'dream blocker' by looking at the phrases that keep us stuck—when things calm down, when I have more time, when I feel ready—and swapping them for micro‑moves that actually shift identity. We explore why one day is risky, how permission rarely arrives from the outside, and why action—not thought—creates the headspace and clarity we keep postponing.
You’ll hear how midlife rebellion can be quiet and profound: not chaos, but a decision to stop delaying what makes you feel alive, and I share practical prompts to shrink your dreams into starter steps that fit inside a full life. Along the way, we unpack the myths of readiness and alignment, showing how momentum generates energy and how messy beginnings invite life to expand around your new direction.
If you recognise your own 'one day' sentence, this is your gentle nudge toward your own rebellious move...

Have you ever felt trapped by the daily grind and responsibilities, shrunk yourself to 'fit in' or followed the rules then realised they didn't bring you the success or happiness you'd been promised? Tick, tick and tick. My life had plateaued, my unused potential was wasting away and I felt powerless to change anything. I wanted to escape but instead of running away, I decided that ordinary is optional, and I could DECIDE to live authentically, put FUN back on the agenda and do more of the things that made me feel alive. This podcast is one of them and through these conversations I'd love nothing more than to be able to help you do the same!
Fancy a quick chat? Book a connection call with me and let's see if I can help you disrupt your own status quo with a little coaching.
