What’s stopping you from getting started?
You don’t need a better plan.
You don’t need more qualifications.
And you definitely don’t need to wait until you've got the perfect plan.
In this episode, we unpack the real reason so many thoughtful, capable people stay stuck at the starting line: fear. Fear of getting it wrong. Fear of being judged. Fear of committing to something that might not work.
Rather than trying to “overcome” fear or force confidence, we explore a quieter, more effective reframe: treating your idea like an experiment.
Drawing on stories from our own journey, we talk about why mistakes and flaws aren’t signs you’re failing. They’re how learning actually happens. And why perfectionism is often less about high standards, and more about self-protection.
In this conversation, you’ll explore how to:
- Reframe fear and mistakes as useful data, not personal failure
- Spot when perfectionism is keeping you safely stuck
- Break through analysis paralysis by doing tiny experiments
- Move forward without needing full clarity or certainty
If you’ve been sitting on an idea for a while, waiting to feel “ready”, this episode is a gentle nudge to stop polishing and start playing.
