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.
