If you’ve ever found yourself saying “I’ll start when I feel ready,” or “I just need a bit more time to figure things out,” this episode is for you.A lot of what we call high standards is actually something else... it's control. Control over how things unfold, how we’re perceived, and whether we might get it wrong.In this episode, Temma explores why starting something new can feel so uncomfortable for the nervous system, how perfectionism often disguises itself as productivity, and why waiting for confidence before taking action can keep you stuck in life’s waiting room.If you’ve been circling a decision, a conversation, or a step you know you want to take then this episode will help you move forward, even if you don’t feel completely ready. @selfdiscoverygalwww.selfdiscoverygal.com
