ep 85: They Are Waiting for You: Start Before You’re Ready

Join me in this motivational episode where I challenge you to think about that thing you’re capable of doing but aren’t doing yet. We all have untapped potential—whether it’s writing that book, starting that podcast, creating that art, or getting in shape. As ADHD individuals, we’re smart, multi-passionate, and gifted people, but if we’re honest with ourselves, we know we’re leaving potential untapped. I’ll walk you through the common barriers that keep us from starting and share practical steps to finally take action.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why fear of judgment is the number one reason people don’t take action on their dreams
  • How disorganization and time management issues prevent progress on meaningful projects
  • The hidden cost of waiting “for the perfect time” to start
  • My personal story of sitting on my podcast idea for two years before finally starting
  • The power of asking for help and having someone waiting for you to do your part
  • A simple 5-step practical breakdown to get unstuck and moving forward today
  • Why tracking your behavior and weekly reviews are crucial for ADHD success

Tools I Use and Recommend:

  • 15-30 minute project step planning session
  • Daily or weekly doable commitments
  • “Do it scared” mindset approach
  • Behavior tracking system (list, calendar, post-it, spreadsheet)
  • Weekly review, revise, and recommit practice

“Your people are waiting for you – the people your talents will touch, the people you will help or inspire, the people that will simply feel your energy because you’re so proud of yourself for no longer sitting on something that’s in your heart to do.” – Mande

Taking Action vs. Stalling

Learn why waiting for the perfect time weakens your resolve and how even the smallest progress adds up more than you can believe. I share my own experience with postponing my podcast for years and how having accountability finally helped me launch.

Resources:

This episode is essential for anyone with ADHD who knows they have more to offer the world but feels stuck in fear, disorganization, or uncertainty. Remember: time is passing anyway, and you can’t get it back—start today with even the smallest step forward.
