    5 Ways to Get Out of Your Own Way in 2026 (Solo Ep)

    Send us a text In this solo episode of The Renaissance Podcast, I’m sharing 5 powerful (and very real) ways to stop being your own biggest obstacle in 2026—in your business, visibility, and leadership. If you’re done waiting, overthinking, people-pleasing, or carrying everything alone, this episode is your permission slip to move differently this year. Here’s what we cover: 1. Stop Waiting for Perfect Progress beats perfection. Done and posted beats ideas stuck in drafts. 2026 is about momentum. 2. Delegate & Trust Growth happens when you stop being the bottleneck. I share exactly what I outsource to my assistant—from meeting scheduling and sales tracking to calendar protection, appointments, and light Canva support. You don’t need a full-time hire to get support, but you do get out of it what you put into it. 3. Detach from Comparison If content consumption is making you feel behind, it’s time to pause. Your lane. Your timing. Your story. Less scrolling, more creating. 4. Embrace Failure as Data Every failure is feedback. I talk about auditing what didn’t work in 2025, doing postmortems, and using slow seasons to be proactive instead of reactive. Failure isn’t a stop sign—it’s a compass. 5. Prioritize CEO Energy Protect your time and energy. Say no more often. Be less available. Clarity fuels growth more than busyness ever will. If 2026 is your year to own your role, your time, and your vision, this episode is for you. Episode Partner: NexusPoint NexusPoint helps founders step out of operator mode through smarter systems and trusted global support—so you can delegate with confidence and protect your CEO energy. I personally work with NexusPoint and it’s been key in reclaiming my time.
