Start Before You’re Ready — The New Rules for Bold Moves

I’ve learned something the hard way: there’s rarely a perfect moment to leap. There’s the moment your heart starts whispering go, and then there’s everything your mind throws at you to keep you safe.

I’ve waited before. For timing. For more money. For more proof. For fear to get quieter. And each time, I wasn’t really waiting for “readiness” — I was waiting for certainty.

But certainty never came.

What did come was this quiet, steady knowing in my body. You know that feeling — the one that doesn’t scream or push, but pulls at you, like an invisible thread saying this way. The sacred feminine within us carries that knowing. She doesn’t need the whole map. She knows the first step is enough.

Still, I’ve ignored her before. Told myself I needed one more credential, one more safety net, one more sign. The truth? Those pauses weren’t wisdom. They were fear disguised as preparation.

When I look back, the moves that changed my life — in business, in love, in my own healing — all happened before I felt ready. They happened because I listened to that quiet “yes” and moved, even while my knees were shaking.

If you’re standing at the edge of a decision right now, wondering if you should wait… maybe the real question is: Do you trust yourself enough to begin before you feel ready?

And here’s the other truth: leaping doesn’t always mean giant freefalls. It can be one small, compassionate action each day — a tiny stretch beyond your comfort zone that, over time, builds unshakable courage.

Have compassion for where you are and for what’s been holding you back. But don’t stay there forever.

I muted my own knowing for years to play it safe, and that silence was what ate away at me. When I finally started listening — when I left soulless jobs, built a business I love, lived in different countries, and climbed some of the highest peaks on Earth — it wasn’t because I felt ready. It was because I refused to let fear keep writing my story.

Your courage inspires courage. And the world is waiting for the story only you can live.

Much love,
