Why I Stopped Planning Everything Out (And What Happened When I Let My Design Lead)
About this episode
Hello and welcome back. It's been a few months, I know, but this might just be what my consistency looks like — and now I've got a new microphone to keep me motivated, so we'll see.
This one's a real-time download. I'm recording from the road as we start our slow migration south for the winter, working our way toward Arizona by way of visiting our son and his wife, some old friends, my husband's aunt's 80th birthday by the ocean, and a stop at Kodachrome Basin, right next to Bryce Canyon, somewhere Ryan and I have wanted to explore for a while now.
I'm also seven months into my role with Bodygraph, and I get into what that's taught me about actually living my design instead of just knowing about it. I talk about the moment I catch myself almost every time — that sacral push getting excited before my emotional wave has finished doing its work, and what happens when I let myself take off too soon. I share the Notion system I built to catch my own ideas before they disappear into this open head and undefined Ajna of mine. And I keep coming back to something I've noticed over and over: the plans I let go of usually take me somewhere better than the ones I force.
There's no big reveal in this one and no neat bow at the end. Just me thinking out loud about pacing, comparison, and what it actually feels like to trust my own timing instead of measuring myself against everyone else's.
If you've ever felt behind because you're not moving as fast as someone you admire, I hope this one lands somewhere in your chest before it lands in your head.
Warmly,
Nicole Hoover
