Talk Therapy

Show Notes

Thank you for being here!! This episode is for the person who has been sitting on their dreams for TOOOO long. The one who knows they are capable of so much more but keeps waiting for the right time, the right feeling, the right moment of confidence (Spoiler - the 'right time' is never coming) Today I am expanding on the quote that genuinely changed my life and the way I relate to anxiety, overwhelm and fear forever. Ambition without action equals anxiety. We get into: Why you are not anxious because of what you have to do - but what you are yet to do The difference between temporary relief through procrastination and actual relief through action Why your brain exaggerates every task and how to stop letting it run the show The rubbish bin analogy that will change the way you think about mental load forever How open loops are stealing your capacity to go after what actually matters Why anticipation is almost always more painful than the reality The 15 minute rule that will get you started on anything A practical brain dump exercise to clear your mental load today Why confidence is just competence - and competence only comes through doing I also get really honest about my own experience! This episode is not here to make you feel good for ten minutes and then go back to doing nothing. I want you to leave this one and actually move. So consider this your sign. If there is someone in your life who needs a loving kick up the bum - share this one with them. And if this lands for you I would love to hear from you.
