How many times have you looked back and thought, If only I had started sooner…? If only I had left that job, launched that business, taken that trip, or bet on myself—where would I be now?

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the cycle of procrastination, perfectionism, and fear that keeps us from taking action. I’ll share my own journey of waiting too long to start this podcast, the emotional resistance that kept me stuck, and why I’m finally moving forward—even in uncertainty.

We’ll explore:
✨ The hidden fear behind "getting ready" (aka procrastination in disguise)
✨ Why clarity comes in action, not before it
✨ How to shift from “If only I…” to “I’m doing it now.”

This space is for ambitious women of color navigating leadership, purpose, and life on their terms—so if you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” moment, let’s break that cycle today.

Homework Questions:

🔹 What’s the thing you’re finally choosing to start?
🔹 Where are you waiting for certainty before taking action?
🔹 Where can you move forward even in indecision?

Let’s talk about it—drop your answers in the comments or journal about them today.

🎧 Listen in, get inspired, and let’s move forward together.

You probably know when things aren't going well in your life or business, but did you realize you might be the problem? It's a tough pill to swallow, but often, our biggest roadblocks are self-created. In today’s episode, we peel back the layers of just showing up versus showing up committed. Are you merely interested or are you fully committed to your dreams and goals?

We’re getting honest about why you might not be seeing the progress you expect. It’s not about self blame and being even harder on yourself than you already are—it’s about understanding and adjusting your approach. I've got the questions you NEED to ask that will push you to evaluate your efforts and intentions. Are they aligned, or are you letting down the purpose you claim to champion?

Join us for a candid discussion that will help you clarify your commitment and align your actions with your ambitions.
