83 Waiting For "The Right Time": How to break the if-when-then cycle

If you’ve ever told yourself, “When I have more money, then I’ll travel…” or “When I feel ready, then I’ll start my business…”, you’re not alone. In this episode, I'm breaking down the “If/When/Then” trap that keeps so many people stuck waiting for the perfect moment that never comes.

You’ll learn:

  • The 4 core reasons we fall into this pattern: linear conditioning, nervous system safety, worthiness wounds, and past trauma.

  • How your brain and body convince you to “wait” (and how to rewire them for action).

  • How to tell the difference between true preparation and fear-based stalling.

  • A simple exercise to identify your personal “If/When/Then” statements and break them down into micro-actions you can start taking today.

  • Why your next-level self isn’t waiting and how you can embody them now.

I'm sharing examples, practical mindset shifts, and nervous-system-friendly strategies to help you stop waiting for life to start and start living it now.

If you’re ready to step into your next level without waiting for the “perfect time,” this episode will help you take that first aligned step today.
