Stop Overthinking and Make It Happen: From Fantasy to Action

Listen In

Reflection Snapshot

Theme: Moving from romanticizing the dream to honoring the action.
Intention: To serve as a loving nudge to stop waiting for confidence and start building momentum.

We often fall in love with the potential version of ourselves but avoid the discipline it takes to become that person. We curate the vibe, buying the planners and the pens, but delay the vision. This reflection is your reminder: Fear doesn’t leave when you’re ready. It leaves when you move.

Reflecting …

Curating vs. Creating
An idea is only a fantasy until you back it with action. We have to stop romanticizing the idea and start honoring the work. If you are waiting to feel totally confident, you will be waiting forever. I spent a season buying planners to feel organized, but I wasn't starting; I was busy curating a vibe instead of honoring a vision.

Perfection is Fear Dressed Up
If you are holding back because it’s not "perfect," you aren't protecting your dream; you are delaying it. Perfectionism is often just a fear of being seen as a "Work In Progress." When I launched Words on a Higher Note, I delayed it for months because I thought the background had to be perfect. But you don't need a polished version of your vision; you need a present one. Start messy. If people clap, it’s not for your perfection, it’s for your courage.

The Courage to Ask
The doors you want to walk through are voice-activated. Whether it's a pitch you haven't sent or a negotiation you've avoided, closed mouths don't get fed. Success honors bold moves. Imagine what is waiting on the other side of your courage.

Rise Into Action

Beneath the Story: We delay action not because we lack ability, but because we are trying to protect ourselves from the vulnerability of being seen as imperfect.

One Bold Move:
This week, I want you to do one thing you've been avoiding. Maybe it's hitting publish, sending the email, or asking for help. Whatever it is, take action and send me a message with your "I did it" moment.

The "Make It Happen" Practice:
Shift your focus from speed to pace. Treat your goal like marathon training: don't try to run 26 miles on day one. Just run the 5K. What is the small, messy step you can take today?

Until next time … keep listening for the higher note.

Say.
Be.
And it is.
