Sometimes we think of courage as something we want to have before we do something. But, we have to start moving to generate the courage!

There are many versions of self-sabotage, such as procrastination, imposter syndrome, and "shoulds," to name a few. Luckily I have a 4-step process to work through those and get the damn thing done.

Clear your shit. Detox your mind and clean up your environment so you can see clearly.
See yourself to be yourself.
Build your net and it'll catch you.
Done is better than perfect - do the thing scared!
