Waiting often feels responsible. Thoughtful. Even smart.
But for artists, waiting isn’t neutral and it’s rarely free.
In this episode, Antrese looks at how indecision quietly drains energy, undermines self-trust, and creates far more stress than taking the “wrong” action ever could. This isn’t about pushing harder or forcing yourself to be fearless. It’s about seeing what waiting is actually costing you—and why momentum begins the moment you decide something.
