Start Before You Feel Ready

The Myth of Readiness

We love the idea of feeling ready, like one day, we’ll wake up with total confidence, clarity, and calm. But here’s the truth: that moment never comes.

No one ever feels 100% ready to make the big move, quit the job, start the business, or speak their truth. The people who make progress aren’t fearless, they’re willing. They’ve just learned to take the next step before they feel prepared.

Confidence Follows Action

Confidence isn’t something you’re born with, it’s something you build.It doesn’t arrive before the leap; it grows because you leapt.

Think back to anything you’ve achieved. The first time you did it, you were nervous, awkward, maybe even terrified. But you did it anyway. And that’s when the magic happened, not because you waited to feel brave, but because you acted despite the fear.

Confidence is a muscle. You strengthen it by showing up, even when your hands shake.

Small Steps, Big Shifts

Start small. You don’t need to overhaul your life overnight. Send the email. Post the thing. Have the conversation. Each step is a vote for the woman you’re becoming.

Every small act of courage compounds into momentum. Suddenly, the things that once terrified you become your new normal. That’s how growth works, slowly, quietly, then all at once.

Stop Waiting, Start Moving

The perfect time doesn’t exist, only now does. Every time you wait until you “feel ready,” you give fear more power.

So take the messy, imperfect action. Trust that clarity comes through movement, not waiting. The woman you want to be is already within you, she’s just waiting for you to take that first step.
