What to Do When You Know What to Do But Can’t Do It – Being Relatable with Erica Castner

Aug 10, 2026 | Courage, Mindset, Podcast, Productivity

If you’re the type of chick who knows what to do but can’t do it (for one reason or another), it’s a good thing you’re tuning into this episode of the Being Relatable Podcast.

So, if you know what to do…why aren’t you doing it? The answer boils down to three areas that move any goal forward: plan, people, and prep, and helps you figure out exactly which one is actually holding you back.

WHAT YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH:

Why worrying about “step 27” is keeping you from ever taking step one

The real reason a decision creates more momentum than a perfect plan ever will

How the people around you are quietly shaping whether you take action or stay stuck

Why finding people who’ll cheer you on is more available than you think, if you decide to look for them

Why your goal needs actual protected space on your calendar, not just good intentions

YOUR TINY STEP THIS WEEK: Pick one, plan, people, or prep, whichever one you know is actually yours. If it’s a plan, take step one, not worry about whether you are ready to take step 27. If it’s people, notice who’s been quietly talking you out of this. If it’s prep, block 25 minutes on your calendar and decide what’s coming off to make room for it.

And, for a bonus: email me (email is in the episode) with your goal and the one action step you are taking today, and I will send you my “Make it Happen” Blueprint: A one-sheet guide to make any goal you want to achieve happen faster.
