Feeling stuck even though you’re doing “the work”? This episode challenges over-preparing, perfectionism, and fear, and gives practical steps to finally move. 

What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t a lack of effort—but an excess of preparation? Today we get honest about the moment when self-work becomes hiding and perfection turns into procrastination. With a steady hand and practical prompts, we move from theory to contact, from private processing to public action.

We start by naming the pattern: doing all the “right” things—journaling, healing, learning—without seeing change. Then we flip the script with one question to write at the top of your page: What am I still preparing for that I already have the tools for? That single line becomes a mirror and a map, exposing where you’ve confused motion with momentum. From there, we unpack why clarity rarely arrives from thinking longer; it comes from contact with reality—feedback, friction, and the people you aim to serve.

Next, we draw a hard line between refinement and delay. You’ll hear the mantra to remember: refinement comes after the release. We talk about acting before you feel safe, taking the first step so the next one can appear, and letting obedience lead the way. Then we introduce the 80% rule—how to ship what’s excellent enough to be real, not perfect enough to be imaginary. Underneath it all lives the deeper fear: being seen. We name the fear of failure and the fear of success, and we practice moving anyway.

By the end, you’ll have a simple framework to break the over-preparation loop: name the thing, release at 80%, and refine with data instead of doubt. If you’ve been waiting for the sign to start, consider this your green light.
