Show Notes
What’s the thing you can’t get out of your head? The business idea. The trip. The career change. The hobby. The race. The thing sitting in your Notes app that you keep saying you’ll do “one day.”
Welcome to the very first episode of Why Not Me? In this episode, Tatiana Forbes introduces the question that has changed the way she moves through life: Why not me? Not “why does she get to have it?” but genuinely asking yourself why you couldn’t be the person who goes after the thing you want.
Tatiana shares why fear kept this very podcast on the sidelines for more than a year, what finally made her start, and what you can expect from the show. Why Not Me? won’t fit neatly into one box. We’re talking ambition, fear, motherhood, running, success, reinvention, money, perfectionism, changing your mind, wanting more, and everything that happens in the space between “I could do this” and “I’m actually doing this.”
This first episode is an invitation to get curious about what you want before immediately talking yourself out of it. Because somebody is going to do it. Why couldn’t that somebody be you?
HOMEWORK Put a name to the thing you want.Say it out loud. Write it down. Then pay attention to what comes up when you allow yourself to actually consider going after it.

More from Why Not Me?
For so long, I tried to be who I thought other people wanted me to be. Funny enough, some of the best things in my life happened when I stopped doing that and started showing up as myself.
Less than a year before I ran my first marathon, I could barely run for 30 seconds.
“How do you do it all?” The answer is simple: you don’t.
Permission doesn’t always look like asking, “Am I allowed to do this?” Sometimes it looks like needing your friends to love the idea. Researching until you’ve convinced yourself you need just a little more information. Waiting to see someone else do it first. Looking for the perfect blueprint. Staying somewhere you’ve outgrown because walking away would mean admitting you changed your mind.
A little preview of what’s coming on Why Not Me? A podcast for women who are ready to stop waiting for permission and start going after the things they keep putting off. First episode drops September 22.
