In this episode of What If? For Authors, Claire tackles a common question for writers: what if I know what to do but just can’t get myself to do it?
Whether you're struggling to finish a book series, start a new project, or make a business decision, the problem might not be a lack of discipline or motivation.
Claire explores the deeper reasons we resist taking action, from following advice that doesn't actually align with our needs to holding onto projects we've outgrown, lacking essential resources, or confronting fears that make moving forward feel unsafe.
