Episode Details

Nicki asks the question most people never think to ask themselves: who told you to wait? Drawing on her own story of recording the opening of her very first episode over and over, trying to perfect every word before anyone could criticize it, she unpacks what happens when we try to create and edit at the same time, the difference between wise waiting and quiet stalling, what Harvard research reveals about why small wins matter more than motivation, and a question from Genesis that still speaks to the voices we obey. With humor, honesty, and a delete button that got far too much use, she offers three simple questions to help listeners stop waiting on permission and take the first small step toward what they have been putting off. Whether it is a business, a book, a conversation, or a comeback, this episode is a reminder that nobody is coming with a permission slip.
