When You Feel Like You Should Be Further Along


Listen Later

In today’s episode, I unpack the pressure I’ve been feeling around time, urgency, and the belief that if I slow down, everything I’m building will disappear. What began as a conversation about business momentum revealed something much deeper: an old nervous system story that equates rest with loss, abandonment, and danger.

This is a gentle but powerful exploration of why ease can feel unsafe, even when things are working.

In this episode, you’ll hear me explore:

* Why urgency often comes from fear, not misalignment

* The difference between planting, growing, and harvesting seasons, and how they can exist at the same time in different areas of life

* How comparison to volume-based hustle models creates unnecessary pressure

* The subconscious belief that if you stop tending to something, it will be taken away

* Childhood experiences that taught me rest equals disappearance, and how that pattern followed me into business

* Reframing rest as a stabilizing force instead of a threat

* Why building from spaciousness creates a different frequency than building from force

* How trusting your nervous system’s pace can actually support long-term success

I close this episode with an invitation for you to reflect:

* Where does rest feel dangerous in your life?

* What are you afraid will disappear if you slow down?

* And what becomes possible if you trust that what you’re building is allowed to stay, even when you step back?

You are allowed to build something that lasts.

You are allowed to rest.

And you are allowed to let the unseen carry you, too.
