"I don't even know why I can't start.” Sound familiar?

Every time, there’s this one moment in our Ease Community calls where I watch someone go from stuck to free.  And it’s never the moment you’d expect. It's not always the methods, strategies, or even coaching.  The magic is in the group witnessing you. Like-minded female founders truly listening and connecting to, truly seeing the shame or doubts that keep so many of us in avoidance.

The block, fear, or the general feeling of being “stuck” starts to dissipate.  I’ve heard clients say things like “I don’t even know why I can’t start” or “I’ve been in this fog where I can’t take action”.

There is something that shifts in the energy in that moment of being seen.  Blocks start to melt away.  You feel lighter and more clear on what you can do next, plus empowered to do it.

I believe most of us underestimate how much of “stuck” is actually unwitnessed and unspoken.  You carry these shame stories around with you about why you haven’t gotten as far as you’d like on a goal like launching a podcast, being present on social media, or scaling your business.  So it just sits there, frozen, like a breath you’ve been holding so long you forgot to exhale.  Once the words are spoken, it dissipates.  Every. Time.

The second it’s spoken and witnessed, it has less power over you.  Then, you can work with it and move through the discomfort, now that you know you aren’t alone, now that you see that others understand exactly what you’re going through.

This is why I love group work with female founders.  It's less about the plans we make, or the special strategy, and more about that moment where the energy shifts and the momentum returns! 

Here's the one small brave thing I want you to try this week:  what’s one thing you’ve been carrying that you wish you’d started by now, or wish you were further along on?  Find a like-minded, trusted person and simply speak the words out loud to them.  Use this prompt: “I have to get what I’ve been telling myself about this out of my head _______ ”.  Notice what happens after you’re witnessed.
