Summary

Waiting is exhausting—and the cost of waiting to be self-expressed is high. Suppressing your life force takes energy, so why do we wait to show up, to express, to create?

This week, I’m talking about the three reasons we stall on our dreams—social conditioning, fear, and fatigue—and how we can move through the resistance.

Because your dreams? They deserve to be yours…sooner.

In this episode:

The mental, emotional, and spiritual cost of waiting
Why “tired of waiting” is literal—and how to shift it
The fastest way to break through fear + fatigue
How social conditioning has us delaying our power (and how to undo it)

0:00.0	My loves. Did you know that I have a fairly regular, actually very regular newsletter. Don't
0:07.6	love the term newsletter. But anyway, I have something deep, intimate sharing, hopefully useful,
0:13.7	called the sacred. The sacred comes out pretty much every Friday. Used to be called Sacred Weekends. I rebranded it because Sacred
0:25.2	Weekends was about giving useful tips that you could use on Friday and Saturday and Sunday. And
0:30.2	then I would sell you stuff in between. And I got to sell stuff in between because this is the
0:36.1	industry. And I got tired of selling stuff and I wanted
0:39.1	to go more heart to heart. I've been pushed, cajoled, invited. It has been suggested that when I just
0:50.3	get more intimate and give people the personal stuff that I'm going through teaching
0:57.4	learning, like it works.
0:59.1	Like in terms of working, I mean it's actually helpful.
1:03.0	So I've started to record with more ad lib and color and life and more stories to the stories, all of my issues of the sacred.
1:14.1	And this is one of those. And here we go. I love. I have some ideas about what makes us tired.
1:25.1	I'm going to swear. I kind of ease back on the swearing for a while.
1:29.1	So if you have little ones listening, it's maybe not the time to have little ones listening.
1:34.9	But what I'm really interested in today is why waiting makes us fucking tired. So I have three
1:42.9	reasons why we don't self-express, because that's got everything to do
1:47.9	with fatigue. And what I'm done waiting for, you ready? Here we go. Personal laundry list,
1:54.5	I'm waiting for my partner to do our next therapy section so we can uncork, you know, so we can get to it. And our therapist is,
2:06.4	I don't know if she's awesome. We've only had one session with her, but she's in high demand and
2:10.2	she books a few months out. So in the meantime, I'm just really withdrawn and cold and I'm really
2:17.3	zipped up right now. That's my default stress reaction,
