In this episode of ShowUp2Heal, Dwayne Morton sits down with author, coach, and creator Jon Prince, known online as The Perception Coach, for a powerful conversation about fear, purpose, mindfulness, taking action, self-doubt, personal growth, and learning to start before you feel ready.

Jon shares how his years as a professional poker player taught him to navigate uncertainty, losing streaks, confidence, and the stories we create around our circumstances. He explains how changing what he focused on—from constantly noticing his losses to intentionally recognizing small wins—began to change not only his mindset but the way he experienced his life.

They also explore leaving behind a successful career that no longer felt fulfilling, discovering purpose through volunteering, meditation, content creation, overcoming perfectionism, and taking meaningful action even when fear is still present.

Jon also shares the story behind his book, Start Before You're Ready, including the doubts he experienced while writing it, the publishing process with Hay House, and why becoming ready often happens after you begin—not before.

If you're overthinking your next move, waiting until you feel completely prepared, struggling with fear or perfectionism, or wondering what the next chapter of your life could look like, this conversation is a reminder that you don't need the entire path figured out. You just need to take the next step.
