For many of us, taking action can feel like an uphill battle, even if we’re motivated or inspired. The weight of uncertainty, fear of failure, and the allure of procrastination often paralyzes our best intentions.
It’s a common struggle to transform a thought into some sort of tangible action.
In my own life, I have found simple steps to take that help me actually get started.
What I am sharing with you today:
How to take action (it’s not just about creating an attainable first step)
The three steps that help us make things happen
How to keep going!
Momentum: How to Find It (and keep it!)

Tweets/Quotes:
Getting prepared is actually its own starting action. If we haven't done that step, then we're trying to jump forward, and it's harder. It takes more - more strength, more initial force, more power to overcome that inertia, and then nobody wins.
There are two deep breaths that are most important. Number one is the one that you take right before you do the thing, right before you take action. The second one is the one that you take after you've started because it lets you know that you survived.
Envision taking the action. Seeing it is going to help you believe that it's possible.
Something that I hear so, so often goes like this:
There are so many things happening all the time and all I can do is just keep reacting.
Ack. We don’t want to live like that, right?
We want to work toward goals and have direction - we want lives that feel good. So how can we do that amongst all the adulting stuff that keeps popping up?
Today, we’re going to talk about momentum.
I’m sharing:
3 keys to momentum (and a side order of science)
How boundaries and bumpers keep us moving forward
Why fun and easy momentum actually works
What to Do About Your Fear (and how to move beyond it)

Tweets/Quotes:
The beautiful thing about being on a journey is that every step of the journey teaches you more about what you need to know for the next step of the journey.
One thing that you can do to prepare yourself better for potential friction is as you're thinking about momentum, as you're thinking about starting, and how to protect yourself from the outside forces, is to say when the friction shows up, here are some different things I can do.
All or nothing thinking is never going to be satisfied because we can always try to have more and the opposite of more in all or nothing thinking is nothing. Not helpful.
It’s an adjustment to start reshaping your goals so that they actually fit into the life that you currently have. And it's a gift.
We’ve all heard it a million times:
“Work smarter, not harder.”
But guess, what? If that worked, we’d all be doing it already, right?
And if like me, you have ADHD or an otherwise neurodivergent brain, this advice wasn’t created for you.
But not to worry - I've got you!
There absolutely is a way to get things done, without trying to cram your magical brain into the “work-smarter” box. So listen in as we discuss:
Why “work smarter” isn’t a sustainable strategy
What balance actually looks (and feels) like
How to find your Thrive Zone

Fear.
Yikes, right?
Fear keeps so many of us from doing the things that we want to do in our lives.
We all experience fear, but when we’re going through it, it’s easy to feel alone, and like we are the only one who get stuck in fear’s clutches.
So today, let’s get into fear - specifically, the kind of fear that keeps us from taking action on the things we want to do.
Let’s talk about:
The relationship between fear and procrastination
Why beating up our fear doesn’t work
5 steps to get through fear that is blocking your path

Tweets/Quotes:
Every time you try to fight the fear, all you end up doing is making it more powerful because you're giving it your attention, and everything you pour into it, it is going to give back to you exponentially.
Part of what happens with fear is that as we take action towards whatever it is that we're building, it starts to dissipate.
There is a better way forward for you, a more loving way forward, and a more sustainable way forward that is so much easier, because you are not pouring all of your energy into fighting the fear. Instead, you learn to work with it, and then on the other side, you actually have energy left to be in your life.
Oh motivation. It’s tricky, right? We think that if we could just harness motivation, we’d be unstoppable.
So how do we do that? How do we make motivation work for us?
And can we start TODAY?!
Um … yeah, actually!
So let’s get into it with:

Tweets/Quotes:
Tell yourself the truth. Your life's purpose is not to white knuckle your way through to some externally defined end result that you are not connected with.
Stop making your goals unreachable. Stop it. The moon is not for your to do list. Put it on your vision board if you want to shoot for the moon. But for your to do list - be more reasonable.
You cannot out-motivate your capacity, nor can you use motivation to solve a capacity problem.
You’ve probably heard some advice in the past about consistency, right?
Maybe people have told you not to “break the chain” as you’re pursuing a creative idea. Or maybe you’ve heard not to skip even one day when you are setting up a new routine.
And maybe you’ve also realized that advice like that can actually get in your way - as in, you miss one day, and figure all is now lost.
So today, we’re going to talk about consistency.
Listen in as we break down:
What that common advice about consistency gets wrong
Three mindset shifts we can make about consistency
My favorite consistency hacks that will help you follow through on what you want to do

Tweets/Quotes:
This is the first mindset shift that you have to embrace about consistency: Your version of consistency does not, should not, and will not look like anybody else's consistency.
You can be your own version of successful by embracing your own version of consistency. It's not a second place way of doing things.
You can always add on later if you want something fancier. But if you want consistency, make what you are doing stupid simple.
Hello friends!
This week, we are tackling a question straight from my Gentle Productivity Club membership.
Here it is:
“Do you think it's easier to be gently productive after years of working to burn out?
I love the idea of being soft and gentle with myself, but I'm pretty early in my career and feel like I need to spend my spare time working now and be gentle later.”
Such a great question, right?!
So in this episode, we’re talking about:
Does it ever make sense to hustle now and rest later? (spoiler alert: nope!)
The big productivity myth
5 things to think about as we step into gentle productivity

Tweets/Quotes:
“When we put aside the myth that says working harder equals more success, we can ask ourselves: what do I want to believe about success, about what's possible, about what that success looks like, about what creates it?”
“You have to trust yourself enough to know when you need to slow down. Yes, it's going to feel slower, but the quality of what you're able to create is going to be so much higher.”
“Remember that you are not even going to be able to call on the discernment that you might need, the faith that you might need, the trust that you might need, that radical self belief that you might need until you slow down.”
We are back with Part 3 of the pivotal yes series!
So first - a quick recap:
In Part 1, I talked about the yeses that have made the biggest difference in my life (and how they felt)
In Part 2, I talked about how to actually listen to the little whispers that pop up, and how to be with those whispers and begin to understand what they are telling you.
So - you might want to go back and listen to those episodes if you haven’t and yet.
And then today, we’re jumping into one of my very tippy-top favorite topics, Radical Self Belief.
Today we’re going to talk about:
How Radical Self Belief helps you cut through the noise and clutter of life
The 5 pillars of Radical Self Belief
How Radical Self Belief helps you create a container of safety
So join me - you can read, listen or watch!

“What radical self belief allows us to do is create the container of safety within which we get to evolve and live and experiment and play and figure things out. We're creating that container as we take our baby steps.”
6:28
“One of the big secrets that I've learned being an adult is that everybody is making it up as they go. So you might as well play along for yourself, too.”
