    Move At Eighty Percent

    A six-word reason to stop stalling: you are not underqualified, you are undermoving. We open with a true story about someone who passed on $80–$150/hour contract roles because a laptop spec didn’t match, and we unpack the deeper pattern many of us carry—self-disqualifying before opportunity has a chance to choose us. From there, we trace how the same habit shows up in careers, relationships, businesses, and long-shelved dreams, and we replace perfectionism with a practical path forward. We walk through a simple two-part audit that turns vague doubt into concrete action. First, list what you already have: skills, experience, results, story, resilience, connections, and ideas. Then ask what you’re waiting on and whether it’s essential or solvable in 30 days—borrowable, rentable, learnable, or adjustable on the fly. Along the way we call out how fear often wears the mask of logic—“I just want to be prepared”—and how clarity and confidence actually grow from movement, not from more planning. Using examples drawn from job searches and product launches, we show how companies iterate in 30, 60, and 90-day cycles and why you can do the same with your next step. The core takeaway is the 80 percent principle: if you have most of what you need, start now. Submit the application, send the message, post the offer, make the call. Doors don’t open for the most perfect person in the room; they open for the person willing to knock. If this speaks to you, hit follow, share this with a friend who’s sitting on a near-ready idea, and leave a review telling us the one move you’ll make at 80% today.

    If There’s No Fire, Why Are You Running?

    Ever feel like you only move when something is on fire? We pull apart that reflex and show how calm can become your greatest competitive edge. Instead of chasing deadlines for the dopamine rush, we lay out a simple, practical system that trades scattered effort for steady momentum: one week, one priority, clear outcomes. It’s not flashy, but it works, and it frees your mind from the noise that keeps you stuck in survival mode. We talk about the subtle ways crisis culture creeps into daily life—overcommitting to feel valuable, stepping into other people’s lanes, and confusing exhaustion with achievement. From there, we reframe stillness: it isn’t laziness, it’s stability, and stability is where deep growth happens. You’ll hear how to recognize urgency addiction, why consistency beats hustle in the long run, and what changes when you stop letting pressure choose for you. The calm path asks you to choose, to move without chaos, and to measure progress by finished work rather than frantic pace. To make it concrete, we share four prompts to reset your month: identify where you’re operating in crisis for no reason, imagine your life under calm and consistency, decide what truly deserves focus, and name what you’re dropping—no postponing. If last month didn’t go to plan, release the guilt and reset your lane. Build from peace, not pressure; let steady be steady. If you’re ready to swap adrenaline for alignment and create results without burning out, this conversation will help you find your rhythm again. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a calm reset, and leave a review with the one priority you’re choosing this week.

    You’re Not Stuck — You’re Over-Preparing | How Perfectionism Keeps You From Moving Forward

    Feeling stuck even though you’re doing “the work”? This episode challenges over-preparing, perfectionism, and fear, and gives practical steps to finally move.  What if the reason you feel stuck isn’t a lack of effort—but an excess of preparation? Today we get honest about the moment when self-work becomes hiding and perfection turns into procrastination. With a steady hand and practical prompts, we move from theory to contact, from private processing to public action. We start by naming the pattern: doing all the “right” things—journaling, healing, learning—without seeing change. Then we flip the script with one question to write at the top of your page: What am I still preparing for that I already have the tools for? That single line becomes a mirror and a map, exposing where you’ve confused motion with momentum. From there, we unpack why clarity rarely arrives from thinking longer; it comes from contact with reality—feedback, friction, and the people you aim to serve. Next, we draw a hard line between refinement and delay. You’ll hear the mantra to remember: refinement comes after the release. We talk about acting before you feel safe, taking the first step so the next one can appear, and letting obedience lead the way. Then we introduce the 80% rule—how to ship what’s excellent enough to be real, not perfect enough to be imaginary. Underneath it all lives the deeper fear: being seen. We name the fear of failure and the fear of success, and we practice moving anyway. By the end, you’ll have a simple framework to break the over-preparation loop: name the thing, release at 80%, and refine with data instead of doubt. If you’ve been waiting for the sign to start, consider this your green light. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a loving push, and leave a review with one action you’ll take this week—what will you release at 80%?

    A Gentle Reminder: God Is Still Speaking to You

    This episode isn’t a teaching, it’s a reminder.  If you’ve been questioning whether God still speaks or wondering where He is in this season, this episode is for you. In today’s quiet reflection, we talk about how God speaks in the small, often overlooked moments—through waking up each morning, the sound of birds outside, the steady rise of the sun, our dreams, and the gentle nudges throughout the day.  This episode also shares the heart behind the children’s book Dear God, Will You Be My Friend?—a reminder that God isn’t distant, complicated, or hard to reach. He’s close. He listens. He wants relationship.  If you’re looking for encouragement, peace, and reassurance of God’s love and presence, press play and take a moment to slow down and listen.  God is still speaking—and He’s speaking to you.

    What You Don’t Water Doesn’t Grow: Closing 2025 With Intention, Growth, and Clarity

    Year-end lists are tempting, but here’s a different move: pause long enough to notice what stopped getting care. We look at growth through a simple lens—water, soil, and sunlight—and use it to separate effort that feels productive from effort that actually works. No cliches, no pressure to fix everything by midnight, just honest steps that help your dreams, relationships, and peace come back to life. I share what this year taught me about putting in the hours, naming fear and shame without letting them steer, and choosing intention over urgent noise. We explore why watering alone isn’t enough if the soil—your environment, beliefs, routines, and community—is draining the roots. You’ll hear how to spot when a goal needs new ground instead of more grind, and why letting light in—truth, exposure, and alignment—can unlock stalled progress. From neglected friendships to quiet ambitions you wrote down years ago, we unpack how small, steady care outperforms grand resolutions. You’ll leave with three grounding questions to carry into the new year: What have I stopped watering? What soil am I planting in? What needs more light? Then we make it doable: pick one area, take one honest action, and let consistency do what willpower alone can’t. If you’re ready to grow in a way that lasts, this conversation gives you language, steps, and permission to start small and stay true. If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a gentle reset, and leave a quick review so more people can find these conversations. Tell me: what are you choosing to water next?

    God Is A Girl Dad: Discernment, Clarity, and the Courage to Speak

    The quietest truth can change your whole life, especially when it shows up as a steady knowing rather than a loud sign. We open with a breath, then get honest about what discernment really feels like, how it sounds, and why fear often gets noisier right when clarity lands. If you’ve ever waited for “one more sign,” over-prayed to avoid tough moves, or softened your truth to keep the peace, this conversation gives language, structure, and comfort for the next right step. We unpack the difference between anxious spirals and genuine discernment, and we explore the body’s role as an early warning system—tight shoulders, frozen energy, a sudden loss of tolerance for what once felt fine. From a faith-forward lens, we talk about God’s covering as a protective father who prepares us before we speak, reminding us that clarity doesn’t arrive to expose us but to equip us. That shift lets us act without performance or panic, trusting that we’re not walking alone. Then we move from knowing to doing. You’ll learn four grounded practices to act without drama: don’t rush the delivery, speak truth without long justification, expect disruption that leads to real peace, and let courage be calm. We close with piercing reflection questions to break the loop of hesitation, helping you decide whether you’re protecting your peace or simply avoiding discomfort. If your spirit has been whispering “this isn’t it anymore,” this is your nudge to honor what you know with quiet, steady action. If you felt the pull, reach out about our four-week pilot, Declare It and It Shall Be So, designed for small, intentional groups ready to pair clarity with movement. If this resonates, follow, share with a friend, and leave a review to help more listeners find their courage.
