Hey friends — today’s episode is a heart-to-heart, and honestly, it’s something I’ve been sitting with deeply myself.

As we head into the end of the year, I keep thinking about how fast time moves. Weeks blur together. Life gets busy. We do the same things over and over… and then wonder why nothing really changes.

So today, I want to talk to you about one thing:
 👉 Action.

Because here’s the truth — your life will not change unless you take a step you’ve never taken before.

I share in this episode about a situation I prayed over for years. I did everything “right.” I hoped. I waited. I believed. And yet… nothing shifted. Until one day I realized something simple but powerful:
Action creates movement.
And movement creates momentum.

Taking action is scary. It stirs fear. It brings up questions like:
 What will people think?
 What if this doesn’t work?
 What if I fail?

But you’re one choice away from a completely different future.
And most of the time, that future doesn’t look dramatically different on the outside — it just feels different on the inside.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why thinking the same thoughts year after year keeps you stuck
  • How you can literally act your way into a new version of yourself
  • Why imagination isn’t “woo-woo” — it’s a God-given tool
  • How to use vision, writing, and reflection to move the needle forward
  • Why regret is heavier than fear — and how to avoid it
  • How one small, scary step a day compounds into a transformed life

I also share why I believe so deeply that we weren’t created to play small. You are not just your job. You are not just your role. You are not boxed into what life has looked like so far.

There is more in you.
There is more for you.
And it starts with deciding you matter enough to move.

As you listen, I want you to ask yourself:
What is one action step I can take — today — toward the life I want?

Your future self will thank you for it.
