Episode 9: How to Stop Being a Beginner All the Time

You’re allowed to learn. You’re not meant to live in restart mode forever.

Hello, my little badasses — this episode is your wake-up call (with love).
 You’re not failing. You’re not broken.
 You’re just stuck in beginner mode… and it’s time to finally move forward.

This isn’t about shaming beginners — being a beginner is brave.
 But staying stuck in the start–stop cycle for months (or years) isn’t growth — it’s perfectionism and fear in disguise.
 Today, I’ll help you break the pattern, step into progress, and finally finish what you start.

You don’t need a new plan.
 You need to stop ghosting yourself.
 You need structure, support, and a system that works when life gets lifey.
 You need someone in your corner who gets it — and who can walk you all the way through it.

Let’s make this the last time you ever start over again.

In This Episode

  • Why you're not actually "starting over" — you're just stuck in restart mode
  • The difference between being a beginner and staying stuck in beginner identity
  • Why perfectionism hides behind “I’m still figuring it out”
  • What follow-through really looks like in real life (spoiler: it’s not sexy)
  • Why coaching is the container that helps you finally finish what you start
  • What to do when motivation fades and life goes sideways
  • How to stop waiting for “the right time” — and use this season to actually rise

Top 7 Takeaways

  1. You are not broken — you’re just stuck in restart mode

  6. Follow-through isn’t perfection — it’s consistency with support
  7. Coaching gives you the tools to finally finish what you start

Journal Prompts

  1. Where have I been hiding in beginner mode to avoid messy progress?
  2. What is one thing I’ve started that I know it’s time to finish?
  3. What would change if I stayed in it — even when it felt boring or hard?

Mantra of the Week

“I don’t need to start over. I just need to keep going.”
Say it. Write it. Move like you mean it.
