    22: Why Starting Before You’re Ready Is Key

    If you’ve been feeling the pull toward something more, but the idea of starting over feels exhausting, this episode is for you. This is a conversation for the in-between season. The one where things are working, and growth is happening, yet the questions feel harder than the answers. It’s about what to do when you don’t want to rush the next thing but you also know you don’t want to stay exactly where you are. You’ll hear reflections on: Why waiting to feel “ready” can keep you stuck How growth changes what you need, not just what you want Using data, self-trust, and lived experience to guide your next step Letting your work, interests, and clarity evolve naturally This is about moving forward with intention, confidence, and a sense of ownership over what you’re building. If you’re navigating a midlife pivot and want to move thoughtfully instead of reactively, this episode offers space to pause, reflect, and start anyway.
