Ready is A LIE

Send us a text

What's that thing you've been saying you're "almost ready" to do? The one you've researched to death, planned perfectly, talked about endlessly—but somehow never actually started?

That hesitation isn't what you think. You're not waiting to feel ready—you're waiting for permission. Permission to take up space, want what you want, and trust yourself in uncertainty.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why "readiness" is actually a nervous system safety mechanism keeping you stuck
• How we perform worthiness instead of embodying it through endless optimization
• The difference between authentic choice and performing for approval
• Using neuroplasticity to rewire your brain with specific vision work and daily prompts
• Why permission is something you give yourself, not something you earn

Through guided practice, you'll discover what you would choose if you already had permission—moving from "Can I?" to "How?"

The life you're longing for doesn't require becoming someone new. It's waiting for you to give yourself permission to be who you already are.

Ready to stop waiting and start living? Join the Emotional Sobriety Workshop where we practice giving ourselves permission in real time, with others who understand the journey.

Remember: You don't need permission to come home to yourself. You never did. 💜
