Hi Reader,

You know it's true—staying stuck is f *cking expensive.

Not in dollars, but in time, energy, and sanity.

You tell yourself that waiting for clarity is the “smart” thing to do. That if you just sit tight, research a little more, and think it through one more time, then you’ll know what to do.

But here’s the truth: Waiting isn’t harmless. It’s actively draining you.

And the longer you stay stuck, the more it costs you.

Two Things It’s Costing You:

#1 Time You’ll Never Get Back

Every year you spend talking yourself out of change is a year you won’t see again. And if you need a wake-up call, look at this chart:

Each box is a month of your life. The red dots? Gone. The white dots? That’s all you have left.

So… how many of your remaining dots are you willing to waste waiting?

#2 The Slow Death of Self-Trust

Every time you ignore your gut, every time you stay in a situation that drains you, you send yourself a message:
I don’t trust myself to make the right decision. I can’t invest in myself. I need someone else to approve first.

And guess what happens? You stop believing in your own ability to handle change. You get so used to playing it safe that any risk starts to feel terrifying—even when it’s a risk worth taking.

It’s costing you to stay stuck. Why not stop the costs and start investing? Spend your time, energy, and resources on uplifting yourself to take the moves you need make.

How Many F *cks Do You Have Left?

How much longer are you willing to stay stuck in a place that doesn’t fit?

The good news? You don’t have to stay stuck. You’ve heard it before here, and here - but I’m saying it again…

💡 Take one small step today. No five-year plan—just one step.
💡 Get curious about what excites you, even if it’s a tiny spark.
💡 Stop waiting for clarity—clarity comes from doing, not overthinking.

I go deeper on this, so if you’re ready for a wake-up call, read the full piece here.

And if you’re done paying the cost of inaction, let’s talk. Join me for the Wayfinder info call on March 18—where we’ll have a no-BS conversation about how to move forward, for real. [Register here.]​

Your move.
