In this episode, I’m doing a real check-in with you—because this podcast isn’t just about listening, it’s about taking action. I’m asking you to pause for a second and honestly look at how much time you’ve spent planning, thinking, and consuming… versus how much you’ve actually done.

If you haven’t taken action yet, I want you to get curious about why. Are you stuck in planning mode? Procrastinating because it all feels overwhelming? Not sure what to do next? Or are you hiding a little bit—behind perfectionism, fear, or vulnerability?

I talk about something that doesn’t always get said out loud: putting yourself out there can feel really vulnerable. For some people, turning on a microphone or hitting record feels terrifying. Perfectionism often shows up as a shield, but underneath it is usually fear of being seen or judged. And here’s the truth—you’re thinking about yourself way more than anyone else is. Most people aren’t judging you. They’re not throwing tomatoes. In fact, at first, barely anyone is listening—and that’s actually a gift.

If you’re overwhelmed, I encourage you to go back to the basics. Break it down. One step at a time. If fear is what’s stopping you, I gently challenge you to rip the bandaid off. The more you show up, the easier it gets. Confidence comes from action, not waiting until you feel ready.

And I also give you permission to be honest with yourself. If podcasting truly doesn’t feel aligned and another platform feels easier or more natural for you, that’s okay. But if this is something you want—and fear is the only thing in the way—this episode is your nudge.

Before you move on with your day, I want you to do one small thing. Open your voice notes. Pretend you’re recording your intro. Just start talking. That’s it.

And if you’re feeling stuck, vulnerable, or in your head about all of this, come join us in the School community and share what’s coming up. You don’t have to do this alone.

Take some action today. I’ll see you in the next episode.
