How many times have you told yourself, “I’ll do that later” only to realize later keeps slipping further away?
In this episode, Blaze shares a deeply personal reflection about a dream she quietly postponed for nearly a decade, and what finally helped her see that waiting wasn’t neutral. It was costing her something real.
We explore why it’s so easy to delay desires that feel nourishing, regulating, or “just for us,” especially when we’re caring for others, managing shared spaces, or trying to be responsible. You’ll hear about the difference between dreaming big and starting small, why making do often drains joy, and how choosing what truly works for you can change everything.
This conversation is for anyone who feels like their life has become endlessly negotiable — and who’s ready to stop postponing themselves.
✨ February reminder: You don’t have to wait until everything is settled to begin living the life you want. You’re allowed to start where you are.
