177. When you’ve said yes to something and now you have to do it. With Kim Payne
<p>What happens when you stop saying you’ll do something someday… and finally do it?</p><p>Recorded just two days before my first Someday to Today event, this episode is a very real look at what it feels like to be in the messy middle of bringing a big idea to life, before I know how the story ends.</p><p>I share the nerves and excitement, the mistakes and unexpected wins, and the lessons I didn’t see coming. </p><p>From confronting my discomfort with asking, to a rather spectacular ticket-selling blunder, to a photoshoot that revealed a side of myself I rarely see, this experience has stretched me in ways I never expected.</p><p>And as I watch nine other women say yes to doing something that scares them too, I’m seeing firsthand what can happen after you’ve said yes…when there’s nowhere left to hide, and you have to do the thing.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Key takeaways:</strong></p><p>o What happened when one of my biggest personal challenges became impossible to avoid.</p><p>o The innocent wording mistake that completely backfired when I tried to sell tickets.</p><p>o Why an unexpected black-and-white photoshoot became one of the most confronting parts of this entire experience.</p><p>o What I witnessed when women who aren’t speakers stepped onto a stage to share deeply personal stories.</p><p>o The growth I never expected to experience before the thing I was preparing for had even happened.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>SOMEDAY to TODAY – </strong><a href="https://kimpayne.com.au/events" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>event</strong></a><strong> </strong></p><p>A one-day transformational experience for women who are done waiting for 'someday'.</p><p>Friday 9 October 2026.</p><p><a href="https://kimpayne.com.au/events" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Find out more and grab your spot here.</a> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>COURAGEOUS ME – </strong><a href="https://kimpayne.com.au/book/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"><strong>THE BOOK</strong></a><strong> </strong></p><p>Grab your copy of <a href="https://kimpayne.com.au/book/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Courageous Me</a> – The courage to turn someday into today. </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>Where to find me: </strong></p><p>Website: <a href="www.kimpayne.com.au" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Kim Payne</a> </p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="www.linkedin.com/in/kimpayne9rok/" target="_blank" rel="noopener
