Before You Feel Ready

I could give you the polished description of how this book is for women who know they want more out of their lives but haven’t quite figured out how to move toward it yet. And that would be true.

But the less polished version is this:

I think a lot of us are waiting for a version of ourselves that doesn’t yet exist.

The version who is more confident. More qualified. Less scared. Has more money. Knows exactly what she’s doing. Has a perfectly thought-out plan and, ideally, some guarantee that it’s all going to work out. I know because I have been her.

Before You Feel Ready is about what happens when you stop making that version of yourself a requirement for starting.

It’s not a book about quitting your job tomorrow, blowing up your life, or pretending fear disappears when you “believe in yourself” hard enough. And it definitely isn’t me pretending I have life completely figured out (I do not).

It’s about getting really honest about what you want, what has been keeping you from going after it, and learning how to move before you have every answer. Because maybe you don’t need another sign.

Maybe you don’t need another six months of thinking about it. Maybe you don’t need to feel ready first.

Maybe you need enough evidence to trust yourself with the next step.

I wrote this for the woman who keeps thinking, I know I want more… I don’t know what that looks like yet.

You’re allowed to figure it out while you’re moving.

And if this book does what I hope it does, you won’t finish it with your entire life mapped out. You’ll finish it a little more willing to start, even though you’re scared as fuck.
