I chose this Best Of episode because fear and inaction are universal — and right now, with so much uncertainty in the workplace, a lot of people are circling their goals without committing. Whether you’ve been thinking about job sharing for months or you’re stuck on any big career move, this pep talk and 4-step process is exactly what you need to stop waiting and start moving.

A pep talk and my 4-step process to help you get unstuck and get into action to make your big moves and achieve your goals.

When that little devil fear is sitting on your shoulder, this pep talk will help you get unstuck and get into action to achieve your work-life goals.

In my twenties, I set my sights on becoming an actor—not as a hobby, but as a career. So I saved ten grand, quit my job, and started a production company to make a living while learning the craft. Then I began five years of intense study with my mentor.

I cut my chops on independent and student films, as a day player on studio films (You might even glimpse me in the opening credits of Miss Congeniality—my close-up with Michael Kane, cut on the editing floor, dammit). I performed in plays (And yes, I even got engaged on stage ).

The Turning Point

At one point, my dad asked, “How long do you think you’ll do this?” The underlying question was: How long are you giving yourself to “make it” before you get a real job, settle down, and start having babies?

I replied, “What have you regretted in your life?” and then he surprised me:

I never regretted the things I did, I only regretted the things I didn’t do. – Bill Taylor

I chose to take the last piece of advice and overlook the well-intentioned question. Inspired by the my dad’s advice—and the dual sandwich caregiving challenges I’ve faced over the past several years—Episode 10’s pep talk with practical advice is intended to inspire you to move through your fears to take the actions needed to achieve your goals.

So settle in and listen up for my good old-fashioned pep talk and how to apply this 4-step process to get unstuck, do it faster, and do it scared…
