101. What It Actually Looks Like to Start Before You Feel Ready

About this episode

In this episode, Jenna Rykiel discusses the importance of starting before feeling ready and the mental barriers that hold us back.

What would you do if you stopped waiting to feel ready? So many of us think we need more clarity, more time, or more confidence before we begin. But that quiet waiting keeps us stuck, watching others move forward while we stay in place. In this episode, I share what it actually looks like to start before you feel ready. I walk through how this shows up in real life, why your brain resists it, and what shifts when you stop trying to get everything lined up ahead of time.
