About this listen

In this episode, I unpack why we crave guarantees before we act, before we post, create, commit, or try something new, and how that need for certainty is often just fear wearing a mask. Fear of rejection. Fear of wasting time. Fear of realizing we’re not as good as we hoped.

I talk candidly about returning to content creation, posting again after time away, and sitting with the uncomfortable feeling of not knowing how things will turn out. Even after years of experience, success, and proof, that uncertainty never fully goes away.

Using examples from content, business, and even a new high-intensity workout that scared me more than it should have, this episode explores why growth always lives on the other side of uncertainty, and why waiting to feel “ready” is usually the thing holding us back.

This is a reminder that certainty isn’t something you get before action.
It’s something you earn after repetition.

If you’ve been hesitating, overthinking, or waiting for a sign, this episode is for you.

Topics covered:

  • Why humans associate certainty with safety

  • The fear behind perfectionism and procrastination

  • Posting content without knowing how it will land

  • Why uncertainty never fully disappears (even with experience)

  • The difference between real risk and imagined fear

  • How action builds confidence, not the other way around

You don’t need certainty to start.
You need movement.
