How much of your life have you put on hold waiting for the perfect moment?

Waiting to lose weight.

Waiting to start the business.

Waiting to join the gym.

Waiting to wear the outfit.

Waiting to light the candle.

Waiting to travel.

Waiting to feel confident.

Waiting to feel ready.

Waiting for permission to be happy.

In Episode 20 of The Real Era with Ms. Shanita: Unfiltered, we explore what happens when we get stuck in what I call life's waiting room.

So many people spend years preparing for life while forgetting to actually live it.

This episode is a conversation about personal growth, self-worth, confidence, healing, fear, dating, change, and the stories we tell ourselves that keep us stuck.

We discuss:

• ​ Why there is never a perfect time
• ​ The danger of waiting for the perfect version of yourself
• ​ Confidence, motivation, and taking action
• ​ Why life happens during the process
• ​ Waiting to wear the clothes, use the dishes, and enjoy your life
• ​ Dating expectations and the fantasy of perfection
• ​ Fear, comfort zones, and making difficult changes
• ​ Why you may not be as stuck as you think
• ​ The importance of giving yourself permission to grow
• ​ Learning to live now instead of waiting for someday

At some point, the question stops being:

"When will I be ready?"

And becomes:

"What am I waiting for?"

Because maybe nobody is coming to give you permission.

Maybe it's already your turn.
