In this episode of Brave Moves, I’m diving into a topic that might sting a little: the difference between excuses and explanations.

We all do it. We say things like, “I don’t have time,” or “It’s not the right season,” and we sound perfectly reasonable… but if we’re honest, sometimes those explanations are really excuses in disguise.

I’ve been there, too. I’ve used busyness, doubt, or perfectionism to justify standing still. But the truth is, when we avoid taking responsibility for our growth, we give away our power.

In this episode, I’ll share how to recognize the difference between valid reasons and self-sabotage, and how getting radically honest with yourself can completely change your confidence, clarity, and results.

Here’s what I’ll cover:

• 💭 How to tell the difference between a real barrier and an emotional excuse
• 💡 Why “I don’t have time” is often a cover for fear or lack of clarity
• 🔍 What self-honesty looks like when you’re building confidence
• 🔥 How taking ownership leads to faster growth and stronger results

This episode is for anyone ready to stop getting in their own way — especially if you’ve been spinning your wheels and wondering why you’re not making progress.

You can’t build confidence without honesty. The moment you stop making excuses and start telling yourself the truth, everything in your life begins to shift.

If you’re ready to stop rationalizing your stuckness and start building momentum, I’d love to help.
