Ever feel like you’re waiting for the stars to align, the perfect moment to magically appear, or for life to finally give you a green light? Spoiler alert: that moment isn’t coming. But here’s the good news—action doesn’t have to be perfect to move you forward. It just has to happen.
In this episode, we’re unpacking the sneaky traps of perfectionism and how they keep you stuck in the same place, spinning your wheels. You’ll discover why taking action before you’re ready is the ultimate power move, how one small step can lead to massive momentum, and why waiting for “ready” is the quickest way to stall your dreams.
But we’re not stopping there. We’ll dig into what’s really holding you back (hint: it’s not what you think) and explore practical, no-fluff ways to shake off the fear and just get started—even if it’s messy, sweaty, and feels wildly uncomfortable.
If you’re tired of feeling stuck, overthinking every decision, or postponing your dreams until “someday,” this episode is for you. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about showing up for yourself in the smallest, sweatiest ways and watching how those small actions create life-changing momentum.
So grab your coffee, hit play, and get ready to rethink what it means to take action. Because your life doesn’t need perfect—you just need to start.

About the host:
Hi, friend! My name is Pamela Hughes and I’m a former talk show host turned life coach. After 20 years in the news business, I walked away from what people thought I should do and I did what I wanted to do … coach people who are stuck like I was and help them find relief, awareness and control within themselves.
This was no easy task and I’m not here telling you it was. I had to take full responsibility for where my life was and then decide where I wanted it to go. It was time to stop complaining about my situation and do something about it. I had to stop looking for others to validate me and start having my own back. This required looking inside myself for the answers instead of looking outside myself.
I told you it wasn’t easy … but I wouldn’t change one thing about my journey because it led me right here to you reading about it, maybe identifying with aspects of it and hopefully being inspired to get UNSTUCK.
