Healing Unfiltered by Erin Burns

Episode notes

We spend so much of our lives waiting—waiting until the timing is right, until we feel confident, until fear goes away. But here’s the truth: you’ll never truly feel ready. And that’s not a problem—it’s the point.

In this powerful episode, I break down why waiting for readiness keeps you stuck, how fear and perfectionism disguise themselves as “not ready yet,” and why real readiness isn’t an emotion—it’s a choice.

If you’ve been hesitating on a big decision, a leap of faith, or even a small next step, this episode is the reminder you need: courage doesn’t show up before the action—it grows because of it.
