In today’s episode, Courtney dives into a theme that came up repeatedly with her clients this week: wanting to make a change, but not actually doing it.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why women often put themselves last—and how our “primitive brain” keeps us stuck in waiting mode.
• The myth of perfect timing: Why “when things slow down” is never the real answer.
• The role of resistance: Why even the things you deeply want will feel hard in the moment.
• How to create a compelling why that excites you enough to overcome obstacles.
• Practical strategies to move from intention to action:
  • Decide exactly when you’ll do the thing.
  • Anticipate the excuses and resistance in advance.
  • Take decisions off your plate ahead of time to make follow-through easier.
• Real-life client stories on wanting to create more art, grow businesses, or get healthier—and the mindset shifts that helped them take action.
• Courtney’s own example of finally updating her business website after two and a half years of delay, and how following her own advice helped her stop waiting.

Key Takeaway

Wanting something isn’t enough. To actually do it, you need a clear why, a plan for resistance, and small daily actions that build momentum. The good news? You don’t have to wait for a milestone or the “perfect time.” You get to decide—today—that this is your next chapter.
