Dream Makers - Why Smart People Still Don't Take Action (Ft. Tamsin Simounds)

Why do smart, capable, ambitious people know what to do... and still not do it?This question sits at the heart of my conversation with leadership coach, speaker and author Tamsin Simounds, and honestly, I think it's one so many of us are wrestling with.We live in a world overflowing with information. We can read the books, listen to the podcasts, learn the frameworks and understand exactly what we should be doing... and still find ourselves stuck.So why does that happen?In this episode, Tamsin and I explore the gap between knowing and doing, and why fear, identity, perfectionism, self-doubt and the need for certainty can stop us from taking action on the things that matter most.We talk about:Why taking action is often harder than gaining knowledgeThe fear that sits at the threshold of growthWhy discomfort isn't a problem to solveHow clarity is created through actionThe power of experimentation over perfectionWhy the only way to truly fail is to stopHow to move through the gap between knowing and doingWhether you're building a business, writing a book, changing careers, stepping into leadership or simply trying to trust yourself a little more, I think you're going to get so much from this conversation.Because the future doesn't change when we know more. It changes when we move.xx CBGuest I Tamsin Simounds - Leadership Coach | Speaker | Author of The Experiment Mindset | Founder https://www.tamsinsimounds.com/ Dream Maker ResourcesGet the Book: Let Your Vision Be Bigger Than Your Bullsh*t - If you've got a dream, vision or idea you want to bring to life, but keep getting stuck in fear, overthinking or self-doubt, this book is for you.7-Day Dream Maker Accelerator: Dream to Done - A simple, practical program to help you stop overthinking, build momentum, create your offer, make the invitation and take action on what matters.Connect with CBInstagram: @cb_dream_makerWebsite: cbdreammaker.com📘 Get your copy of Let Your Vision Be Bigger Than Your Bullsh*t If you’ve got a dream or idea you want to bring to life but keep getting stuck in fear, overthinking, or bullsh*t - this book is for you.

Dream Makers - TAP OUT or LEAN IN? Identity, Manifestation & Building Self-Trust as a Dream Maker (Ft. Karli Whitwell)

📘 Get your copy of Let Your Vision Be Bigger Than Your Bullsh*t If you’ve got a dream or idea you want to bring to life but keep getting stuck in fear, overthinking, or bullsh*t - this book is for you.Today on the Dream Makers Podcast I’m sitting down with Karli Whitwell - and we are going deep into identity, manifestation, self-trust and what actually happens when you hit the edge of your comfort zone.Because here’s the truth - most people don’t fail... they just tap out the moment it gets uncomfortable.In this conversation we talk about:- Identity stabilisation and why you keep snapping back to the old version of you- Manifestation beyond the fluffy stuff — becoming the person who can actually hold the result- The tap out vs lean in moment (this is EVERYTHING)- Nervous system regulation for entrepreneurs and creatives- Self-trust in business and how you slowly erode it without realising- Money mindset, money identity and the relationship you truly have with income- Why discomfort doesn’t mean you’re unsafe - it means you’re expandingThis episode is for women, creatives, entrepreneurs - Dream Makers building something real.The coach.The artist.The business owner.The mama with a vision in her chest.The creative who knows they’re meant for more.We talk about staying.Staying when it’s quiet.Staying when it’s wobbly.Staying when it would be easier to pivot, quit or make it mean something about you.Because your vision isn’t a cute idea.It’s a commitment.And the micro-moment where you choose not to tap out?That’s the quantum leap.We also speak about my upcoming book Let Your Vision Be Bigger Than Your Bullsh*t (at the time of recording we’re just days away from celebrating the launch 😭), and I pull a quote live from Chapter 16 - There Will Always Be D*ckheads.If you’re ready to:Build self-trustStabilise your next-level identityShift your money storyStop waiting for perfectAnd lean in like action is the love language to your dreamHit play.Lean in.And decide who you’re being from here.xx CBFind Karli here:Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/manifestationmentorkarli/TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@manifestationmentorkarli📘 Get your copy of Let Your Vision Be Bigger Than Your Bullsh*t If you’ve got a dream or idea you want to bring to life but keep getting stuck in fear, overthinking, or bullsh*t - this book is for you.
