Episode 13

Jump In—You Got This

With Barbara Patterson + Melissa Palazzo-Hart

Is this a ‘Leap and the net will appear’ episode? Not exactly.

But it is a conversation dedicated to how engaging and simply doing what we desire gives us more information about what we want to do but offers us way more fulfillment.

Today, Melissa and Barb share with us how they’ve both pushed through their fear of jumping in, demonstrating how the actual ‘doing’ of something creates momentum that preparing and planning simply cannot.

 
SHOW NOTES:
  • Barb shares what her old habit of hesitation was costing her, and describes how jumping into a desire to make an important project come to life required her to simply start. And that made all the difference. [00:01:38]
  • Melissa talks about how an old boyfriend encouraged her to simply paint instead of taking classes and reading books about it, describing not only how novel the idea felt to her, but how incredibly fun it was once she just dove into painting. [00:06:54]
  • Melissa shares a recent moment with her daughter and husband when, for the first time, she jumped into a pool instead of thinking of all the ways it could go wrong. Now we can’t wait to get her to stop jumping in the pool. [00:08:30]
  • Melisa talks about her collaborations with Lorna David and Mara Olsen, and how they are evidence to how following a prompting can yield great things. [00:09:18]
  • Barb reminds us that creativity and momentum can happen in real-time — in the moment — not in thinking something to death. She offers us good reason to step into the unknown. [00:12:35]
  • Barb encourages us all to get into the game of life rather than spectating it. She reminds us that in any given moment, we have everything we need to move forward — we will, when trusting our own ‘knowing’, handle anything that results from just jumping into our experiences. [00:13:34]
