If major donor work keeps slipping to the bottom of your to-do list, you're not alone. In this episode, we dig into why getting started feels so darn hard, what's really behind the procrastination, and how to take simple, doable steps that actually build momentum.

My guest, Lieve Hendren, brings years of experience helping nonprofits build mission-aligned donor relationships, and together we unpack how to move from "I know I should" to "I'm actually doing this… and it feels good."

My guest for this episode is Lieve.
