Episode 101: Chiseling Marble: How to Remove What's in Your Way


Listen Later

In this solo episode, we talk about what is REALLY standing between you and your dreams, and how to remove the obstacles.

If you've been circling around the same goal for months (or years), telling yourself you'll begin "when you're less busy, when you're ready, or when you feel more confident about it," this conversation will hit home.

Using the metaphor of a solid block of marble, Kate shares eight common beliefs that disguise the real obstacles—fear, overthinking, avoidance, perfectionism, friction, clutter, and outdated identity patterns.

You'll learn:

  • Why your dream doesn't require more time—but does require removing what's in the way

  • How negative self-talk, uncertainty, and "busy brain" tasks masquerade as lack of motivation

  • What Stoicism, hurricanes, and 75 Hard taught Kate about imperfect conditions

  • The difference between rocking-chair tasks and true needle movers

  • Why readiness, motivation, and discipline only show up after you begin

  • How accountability, support, and reframing can help you start chiseling away

Whether your goal is to write a book, launch a project, shift careers, or simply feel less overwhelmed, this episode will help you chip away at the noise and find the sculpture underneath.
