Episode: Hiding in the Prep Work: When Preparation Becomes Avoidance
Description: Preparation is usually praised as discipline, but sometimes, it’s the safest place to hide.
In this episode, we explore how high performers use prep work, planning, and self-improvement to delay the very thing that would move their life forward: exposure.
From over-refining ideas to rehearsing conversations we never have, preparation can quietly become a form of resistance, one that looks responsible on the outside while keeping us stuck on the inside.
Drawing from personal experience, this episode unpacks how preparation can preserve potential, protect identity, and avoid feedback while slowly eroding self-trust.
