Stop Playing Small in Your Marketing Career - How to Stop Waiting and Start Claiming
Episode: 163
I spent a long time waiting for someone to tell me I was ready. Ready to show up differently. To take on more. To be in the rooms that felt more like me. The stretch project. The seat at the table that felt more like me.
And I kept waiting. And doing great work. And waiting a bit more.
Until I realised that nobody was coming. Not because I wasn't ready. But because permission was never theirs to give.
This episode names the permission trap specifically: why we wait, what we're actually waiting for, and why nobody is coming to give it to us. Not because we don't deserve it. But because it was never theirs to give.
If the word 'yet' lives rent-free in your head - not ready yet, not senior enough yet, not quite there yet, this episode is especially for you.
