Are You Postponing Your Life? Why "When This, Then That" is Keeping You Stuck
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When this project is done. When the kids are older. When things calm down. When I've achieved enough.
When this, then that. Sound familiar?
The pressure to keep temporarily postponing your life feels like it's coming from your circumstances. This episode gently but firmly shows you it isn't.
- why "when this, then that" thinking keeps your real life permanently out of reach
- why the pressure to postpone isn't coming from outside you
- how temporary becomes permanent without you ever deciding it
- what's actually creating the pressure — and how to address it at the source
- the gentle rebellion against putting your life on hold
For anyone who has been waiting for the right moment to start living — and is starting to suspect it might never arrive on its own.
This podcast was created to help big-hearted, driven professionals break free from overwhelm and experience more clarity, ease and joy.
