🧠 A TRICK TO GET UNSTUCK + DO THE THING

{first_name}.

Ever had something you know you want to do… and yet, you just can't seem to start?

The longer you wait, the heavier it feels.

Then, when you DO finally start, it turns into an endless game of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie (one task triggering five more until you're buried in steps you never meant to take on, questioning major life decisions and fighting the urge to check your IG reels)?

Just me? 🐭🍪

Nah. We're in good company.

I'm starting to appreciate that resistance is one thing that still differentiates us from AI.

It's endearing. And, if we choose: temporary.

That's why I hit record last night to break through my own resistance in real time and share my latest creativity-for-humans trick with you.

Inside this 12m On Her Terms® episode:

🎯 Why we resist the things we actually want to do (and how to outsmart the mental loop)
🏋️‍♀️ The weightlifting metaphor that will change how you approach creative habits (hint: take some dang weight off)
⚡ How to separate the core action from the unnecessary energy drain so you can actually ENJOY the thing vs. dreading what comes after

If you’ve been feeling creatively blocked, procrastinating something that should be easy, or just waiting for the perfect moment to start… this one’s for you.

Hit play to clear the mental clutter so you can get back in (loco?)motion with me. 🚂

P.S. If this episode resonates, hit reply and tell me what your If You Give a Mouse a Cookie spiral looks like. Just naming it is progress worth celebrating. 😛🐭🍪🥛 📖 🛏️
