What if "I'm not ready" is just a lie we tell ourselves to avoid stepping out of our comfort zones? Join me, Jenny Lytle, RN, as I unravel the myth that holds so many of us back from pursuing our dreams. Through personal stories and honest reflections, I share my journey from hesitation to action, from contemplating writing a book to actually finishing it. This episode is a candid exploration of the fears and excuses that keep us stagnant and the small steps we can take to build the confidence needed to move forward.
I also delve into my recent experience with the Leadership Kokomo program, a nine-month journey that I almost skipped because of self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy. I discuss the realization that readiness is often a state of mind and that waiting for the perfect time can be a dangerous trap. This episode serves as a heartfelt reminder that our unique experiences and perspectives are valuable, and it's time to stop waiting and start doing. Whether you're considering a major career shift or a personal project, this conversation aims to inspire action and trust in your own path.
