Why You Don’t Need to Feel Ready to Act Boldly

In this empowering episode, Holly Toscanini unpacks the myth that confidence is something you need to feel before taking action. Especially for women over 40 and 50, years of social conditioning and perfectionism can keep you stuck in self-doubt and waiting for permission. In Episode 69 of How to Lose the ‘WAIT’, Holly reveals why confidence is not a personality trait—it’s a practice—and how you can start building it today.

You’ll hear:

Why “feeling ready” is a trap—and what to do instead

Whether you’ve been waiting to launch a dream, use your voice, or show up as your full self—this episode will give you the tools and permission to begin.
