Have you ever felt like everyone else is thriving while you're just trying to remember what day it is? That nagging sensation that you're somehow "behind" in life can be crushing to your spirit and block your manifestation power.
This intimate, no-guest episode tackles one of the most damaging mindset traps we fall into: comparing our journey to others and feeling inadequate as a result. I dive deep into why this comparison is based on a completely fabricated timeline that nobody actually agreed to. Who decided that by 30, you're supposed to have a six-figure business, perfect relationship, glowing skin, and inner peace? That timeline doesn't exist, yet so many of us judge ourselves harshly against it.
What looks like "taking too long" in your journey might actually be your foundation being built deeper and stronger. Those unexpected detours? They're equipping you with the grit, wisdom, and soul you need for what's ahead. The truth is, you're right on time for your unique process.
I also share personal stories about showing up before feeling ready—both my own experiences with writing my book despite feeling like an imposter, and watching my son navigate his fears in our real estate business. The key insight? Momentum creates confidence, not the other way around. You'll never feel 100% ready for your biggest dreams, and that's exactly why you need to start now.
Perhaps most liberating is the permission to change direction. Contrary to popular belief, pivoting isn't flaky—it's alignment with who you're becoming. You're allowed to outgrow dreams that once excited you and pursue what lights up your soul today, even if that looks different than it did six months ago.
Take a moment to ask yourself: What have I been waiting to do because I don't feel ready? Where am I comparing myself and forgetting my own magic? Is there something I've outgrown but haven't given myself permission to release? Then take one brave, imperfect step forward—because you're not behind, you're becoming, and that is everything.
