   38: The Lie That’s Quietly Running Your Life: “I’ll Do It Later”

   There's a quiet lie running through so many women's lives. It doesn't sound dangerous. It sounds reasonable. Responsible, even. It sounds like: I'll start when things settle down. After this busy season. Once there's a little more time. In this episode I'm talking about the most dangerous sentence women say to themselves every single day, and why breaking that pattern has very little to do with motivation and everything to do with what you actually believe you're capable of. I'm getting into the three disguises "later" wears and why they're so hard to see through. I'm talking about what the waiting is actually costing you - not in theory, but in real time, in real years. And I'm sharing my own story of spending two years talking myself out of leaving nursing, watching three months turn into eight, and finally making a decision before I was ready, because the waiting was costing me more than the risk. If you've been deferring the thing that keeps showing up in your head at 11pm when the house is quiet, this episode is for you. 🎧 Inside this episode: Why "I'll do it later" is a belief problem, not a scheduling problem The three disguises later wears - responsibility, preparation, and comfort What the waiting is actually costing you Why high functioning women in midlife are especially vulnerable to this pattern Why confidence comes from doing, not from feeling ready Three micro-actions to start breaking the pattern this week 💬 Let’s Stay Connected: Check out my Women's Group Trips Subscribe to UA Wild Chronicles (weekly newsletter) Connect with me on Instagram Follow me on Substack Subscribe to my Spotify Playlist If this episode resonated, send it to a woman who needs to hear it.

   37. Listen Again: Am I Enough? (The Fear Most Women Don't Say Out Loud)

   Listen Again: This episode resonated deeply with listeners the first time it aired, and with so many new listeners joining the show, it felt like a good time to bring it back.Ever catch yourself thinking something like, “I’d love to do that… but I’m not enough”? Not capable enough. Not confident enough. Not ready enough. Most women never say that fear out loud, but it quietly shapes a lot of decisions. It shows up in the opportunities we pass on, the experiences we delay, and the versions of life we assume are meant for someone else. In this episode, we’re unpacking that story. I talk about where the “not enough” narrative actually comes from, how it shows up in everyday decisions, and why waiting to feel ready often keeps women stuck far longer than they realize. Because confidence doesn’t show up first. It shows up after you move. If you’ve ever stood at the edge of something you want and wondered whether you’re capable of it, this conversation is for you.

   36. Replay: The Truth About Fear (And Why You’re Still Playing Small)

   This is a replay of one of the most impactful episodes of Unapologetically Wild. Because fear is still the thing so many people point to as the reason they stay where they are. Fear of failure. Fear of judgment. Fear of getting it wrong. But what if fear isn’t actually the problem? What if the real reason you’re stuck has nothing to do with fear, and everything to do with the identity you’ve been reinforcing for years? In this episode, I break down why fear is often just the surface-level explanation, and what’s actually happening underneath it. Because once you understand this, everything changes. Inside this episode: – Why fear isn’t something you eliminate, and why that was never the goal– The deeper reason you hesitate, overthink, and stay where you are– How your identity, not fear, is what determines your decisions– The three steps to shift how you see yourself so you can finally move forward If you’ve been waiting to feel ready, waiting to feel more confident, or waiting for fear to go away, this conversation will challenge everything you’ve been telling yourself. Fear doesn’t disappear. You just stop letting it decide.
