Faith, Fear & Dreams: Stop Procrastinating, Start Moving

Have you ever felt stuck between the dream God has given you and the fear of taking the wrong step? If so, this conversation is for you.

This month I'm joined by my friend and non-profit communications consultant Erin Straza, and together we get refreshingly honest about something so many of us quietly wrestle with: procrastination. Not the lazy kind, the kind that comes from caring deeply about getting it right.

Erin and I talk about why hesitation is often just protection in disguise and how perfectionism can keep your dream simmering on the back burner indefinitely.

If you struggle with procrastination too, this is what I want you to hear: that stalling isn't a character flaw. It's probably a sign of how much this dream matters to you.

IN THIS EPISODE, WE EXPLORE:

  • Why trusting God and acting on that trust can feel like two very different things

  • How dreaming about the future can quietly replace doing the work of today

  • What your personal wiring has to do with choosing your next right step

  • Why imperfect progress beats perfect stillness, every single time

I also share something I believe wholeheartedly: everything we do is just practice. The missteps, the detours, the seasons that felt "wasted" — they're all shaping you for exactly where God is calling you next.

If you've been waiting for permission to move forward without having it all figured out, consider this your moment.

And if you're craving community with women who get it because they are pursuing God-sized dreams and cheering each other on, I'd love to have you inside Dream Believers, my virtual community built just for you.
