Are you actually preparing… or are you just avoiding the thing that scares you?
In this episode of Get Over It, Drew admits something he almost didn’t want to say out loud: he almost didn’t show up to record. At first, he thought the problem was a lack of structure. He needed a better plan, a clearer direction, more time to prepare.
Then he realized what was really going on, he was scared.
That confession opens up a candid conversation with Heidi about fear, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the ways high performers can disguise avoidance as productivity. They unpack why planning can be both a strength and a trap, what happens when you don't feel qualified to be in the room, and why taking action is often the only way to break the loop.
They also explore the importance of having people in your life who are willing to call you out, the difference between commitments we make to others and the ones we make to ourselves, and why admitting you're afraid might be exactly what helps you move forward.
If you've ever told yourself you need to learn a little more, plan a little longer, or get everything perfectly in place before you start, this episode might make you ask:
