You’re Not Ready for Change, You’re Ready to Stop Running on Autopilot

You don’t wake up one day ready to change your life.

What happens instead is quieter.

You notice you keep saying yes without really checking.

You agree to the next thing because it’s easier than stopping.

You realise you’re busy but not choosing.

That’s the moment this post is about.

Not readiness for “change.

”Readiness to stop moving automatically.

What actually goes wrong

Most women miss this moment because nothing feels wrong enough to interrupt life.

They chose their roles.

They chose their routines.

What they didn’t choose was:

• how long they stayed

• what they kept adding

• when “this works” replaced “this fits”

So momentum takes over.

The three signals (concrete, lived)

Signal 1

You’re still performing well but you’re no longer checking in

You do what’s expected.

You deliver.

You move to the next thing without pause.

Signal 2

Pausing feels uncomfortable, not relieving

Not because you’re afraid of decisions,

But because stopping asks you to feel what you’ve been carrying.

So you keep going.

Signal 3

You’re starting to hesitate before saying yes

You don’t want to explain it.

You don’t have an alternative.

You just don’t want to keep agreeing automatically.

That hesitation is not doubt.

It’s information.

What this means (no pressure)

This isn’t readiness to change everything.

It’s readiness to:

• stop adding

• stop overriding yourself

• pause before the next commitment is made

If you recognise this moment, I’m holding a live masterclass on 19th February for women who want to pause before choosing what comes next without forcing clarity or creating disruption.

You don’t need more motivation.

You need one honest pause before the next yes.
