Hey loves, it’s Kate — and this week’s episode is one that’s close to my heart because it’s something I see everywhere: waiting to feel ready.
We tell ourselves: “When I lose a little more weight… when I’m more confident… when I know more… then I’ll take action.” But let’s be real — that “ready” feeling almost never comes.
This episode breaks down the neuroscience of procrastination, how the ego convinces us to wait for certainty, and why readiness is actually a stall tactic.
You’ll hear my own stories of waiting for the “perfect time,” how it shows up with my clients, and — most importantly — how to flip the script and start trusting yourself to move forward even when you’re scared or uncertain.
In This Episode You’ll Learn:
Why your brain craves certainty before it lets you take action
How the ego protects you by stalling progress (and why it feels so convincing)
The difference between motivation and readiness — and why motivation alone isn’t enough
How waiting for the “perfect time” showed up in my own fitness, business, and personal life
