From Overwhelm to Action — and Why Self-Care Is Part of the Plan
Feasgar math
When I feel stuck or overwhelmed, I’ve learned to pause and ask myself:
“Is it that I don’t know the next step — or am I afraid of taking it?”
Most of the time, it’s one of those two.
And if it’s the first, I lean into my community — Masterminds, mentors, peers, friends, family — to help me see the next move. Because we’re not meant to figure everything out alone.
But if it’s the second… if the next step is unfamiliar or scary (hello, imposter syndrome!), then it’s about breathing through the fear and taking the first step anyway.
That’s what I did when I left the safety of my senior role in Marketing & Comms to launch Turas. It felt big. Risky. Unknown.
But once I registered my business and took that first step, each one after got easier — because clarity follows action.
🔥 Here’s the other piece of the puzzle no one talks about enough: Self-care is a must-have — not a luxury — for success.
As an Identity-Led Leadership Coach, I’ve seen time and time again that the leaders who thrive are the ones who give themselves space to refuel, reflect, and reset.
✅ When your mind is foggy, self-care clears the lens.
✅ When fear is loud, self-care turns the volume down.
✅ When you're stuck in ‘what now,’ self-care makes room for focus, gratitude, and momentum.
Just last week, I was facing a big, exciting, and slightly scary new growth phase in my business. Instead of pushing through and grinding harder, I took 30 minutes to walk along Wellington’s waterfront. I came back lighter, more present — and more grounded in what really matters.
As Tony Robbins says:
“You can’t feel fear and gratitude at the same time.”
And that’s the power of self-care. It fuels clarity and courage.
