Why You’re Stuck (Even Though You Really Want to Start)

Your Soul's Revival

💫 Episode Summary:

Have you ever wanted to start something new—something creative, meaningful, or soul-stirring—but found yourself completely stuck instead? You’re not lazy, unmotivated, or broken. You're just up against a powerful mindset block that many high-achieving women face in midlife.

In this episode of Your Soul’s Revival, we’re exploring why starting something new can feel so hard, especially when you're used to being competent, capable, and successful. We talk about the identity traps that high achievers fall into, the real cost of perfectionism, and how this “fear of being bad at something” keeps so many women from pursuing their next dream.

You’ll learn how embracing a Beginner’s Mind—a concept rooted in both spirituality and psychology—can shift your entire approach to learning, risk, and personal growth. Plus, I’ll share mindset reframes and practical strategies to help you finally take that first step toward the thing your heart’s been quietly nudging you to begin.

🌟 In This Episode, You’ll Discover:

• Why the fear of not being great right away is so common in midlife
• How our identities as high achievers can become cages that limit growth
• What it really costs you to avoid starting
• How to reframe failure and stop waiting to “get it right”
• The power of Beginner’s Mind—and how to cultivate it
• Tangible strategies to help you take the very first step
• Gentle reminders to help you trust your heart, not just your head
