Stop Overthinking Your Next Move — Progress Begins with Baby Steps | Life Lesson Quotes — Shaunna Lee | Ep 93

What a pleasure to sit down with storytelling strategist and podcast host Shaunna Lee on this episode of Relatable Wisdom. Shaunna brought a refreshingly honest quote to the table: "Baby steps are better than no steps." If you've ever found yourself frozen by perfectionism or caught in analysis paralysis, Shaunna’s story will feel especially relevant. She shares her journey from spending nearly two years overthinking her podcast launch to finally embracing that momentum builds with even the smallest action. We talk about why so many of us hold out for giant leaps and how, in reality, all those leaps are nothing more than the sum of our baby steps. Shaunna gives practical examples—from starting a podcast, to writing a book, to reinventing yourself after life’s plot twists—showing how a tiny push is often the key to progress. This episode is a gentle nudge to stop waiting for perfect and start celebrating progress, however it looks.
