What Are You Waiting For?

Published on: 1st October, 2026

What are you waiting for?

Seriously.

The right time?

More money?

Less uncertainty?

Permission?

A sign?

Someone—or something—to finally make it all feel safe enough?

This week, Michele came into our conversation with a question we couldn't leave alone.

Because sometimes waiting is wisdom.

But sometimes...

waiting is just fear wearing a really convincing disguise.

So we asked the I Ching:

What do you think you're waiting for—and is it truly what you want, or something you've been conditioned to believe you need in order to be happy?

And then:

If you set those filters aside, what would you choose to do now?

That's where we're going to leave you.

Because the cards that came out took this somewhere neither of us expected—and somehow brought us right back to the conversations we've been having about attention, change, trust, identity and what it means to actually live your life rather than continually preparing for it.

If there's something you've been saying you'll do when...

When things settle down.

When you're ready.

When you know more.

When circumstances change.

When you're less afraid.

Come mash it up with us.

You may discover that the most interesting question isn't what you're waiting for.

It's who taught you that you had to wait?
