402: Struggling to Get Clarity on Your Ideas? Here's What to Do

402: Struggling to Get Clarity on Your Ideas? Here's What to Do

If your ideas feel a bit - or a lot - messy and muddy, you’re far from alone.

This is the #1 challenge I hear from women we work with.

We're too close to our own ideas so we're not sure what our audiences will be interested in.

We feel self-doubt or resistance that causes analysis paralysis.

We try to put too much information into our talks (hello, expert trap!).

This is why we are your idea whisperers.

In this episode, I share:

  • Why it’s hard to get clarity on our own ideas
  • Why you need a clear throughline that’s a palm tree and not an oak tree
  • The biggest reason why all of your ideas feel overwhelming
  • Specific things you can do to get clarity
  • The purpose of resistance and vulnerability in your idea formation
