One bite at a time is how you finish the big stuff. We talk easy vs easier, modern stress, and how Michelle actually got Lady MacGyver written without losing the plot.
What you’ll hear
- Why “hard” slows you down. “Easy vs easier” gets you moving.
- Modern stress vs ancestral stress. Why your brain keeps pinging you at 9 pm.
- The book process: talk it out, transcribe, tighten, ship.
- Editing lessons from recording the audiobook.
- “Hurry up and wait.” Prep well, then let the process work.
- Reset Retreat in Bali. True confidence and anti-fragile thinking.
Takeaways
- Stop calling it hard. Call it easy to start. Make it easier to continue.
- Break big into small. Visible steps beat vague goals.
- Close open loops fast. Your stress is emotional, not a lion in the bushes.
- Record yourself telling the story. Transcribe. Edit for accuracy and tone.
- Do your bit, then be patient. Pressure without panic.
- Build contextual confidence (skills) and true confidence (self trust).
