from Grow with the Flo · host Flo
We spend so much of our lives waiting — for the perfect moment, the right conditions, the feeling of being “ready.” But here’s the truth: you’re not a pizza. There’s no timer that suddenly goes DING! when you’re perfectly done and ready to be served to the world.In this episode of Grow with the Flo, I dive into the myth of readiness. I share my own story of starting this podcast before I felt prepared, and explore why confidence doesn’t come first — competence does. Drawing from psychology, philosophy, and my own journey, I’ll show you how waiting keeps us stuck, and how action — even messy, imperfect action — is what actually builds confidence and growth.Journaling Prompts:Where am I waiting to feel “fully ready,” and how is that serving me… or stalling me?What is the smallest next step I can take today?When in the past did I grow by acting before I felt ready? What strengths showed up?What am I most afraid might happen if I act too soon — and how could I handle it if it did?
