If you're struggling with getting consistent clients or feel like everyone else has it figured out while you're still figuring things out, this episode is for you.
That constant feeling of being behind might be costing you more than you realize - it's stopping you from seeing what's valuable about exactly where you are right now. Instead of focusing on where you think you should be, discover how to find meaning in your current struggles and what becomes possible when you shift your perspective.
There's No Timeline: Every weird turn in your journey teaches you something you'll use later. The detours aren't delays - they're part of your unique path.
Your Struggles Are Preparing You: The thing you're struggling with right now is preparing you to help others with that exact challenge later. Your experience creates authentic connection.
Present Moment Advantages: Right now you can pivot quickly, have real conversations with every client, and access insights that become harder to maintain as you grow.
Reframe the Question: Instead of "Am I where I should be?" try asking "What is this moment preparing me for?"
[3:00] Where the pressure to be "further along" comes from and why social media makes it worse
[6:00] How struggling with business challenges now prepares you to help others authentically
[7:30] What you have access to right now that gets harder as you grow
[10:30] Why your current chapter isn't the waiting room - this IS your real business
Your current stage isn't a mistake or delay. What if where you are right now is exactly what you need to go through to become the person who can handle what's coming next?
For the next week, when you catch yourself thinking you should be further along, try asking "What might this moment be preparing me for?"
