No One Is Coming. And That’s Where the Power Begins.
Inspired by Mel Robbins: The blog post I wish someone had shoved in my face years ago.
There’s a moment — one that hits hard — when you realise the cavalry isn’t coming.
No one is coming to save you.
No one is coming to pick you.
No one is coming to give you permission.
It’s on you.
Mel Robbins says it best:
“Your dreams are your responsibility.”
And for people who stutter, that moment of ownership can feel overwhelming. But it can also be the most liberating shift you ever make.
Before you panic, let’s reframe that.
Because here’s the truth: That’s where your power begins.
Your Dreams? They’re Your Responsibility.
If you’re waiting for someone to pick you, discover you, or hand you a perfect solution, you’ll be waiting forever.
That perfect plan? That magical moment of courage? It doesn’t arrive on its own. It gets built — by you — in the small, daily actions you take.
Make the call. Join the course. Speak up. Own your voice.
You Don’t Need Permission. You Need to Take Action.
So many of us wait for an external signal — a nudge, a validation, someone to say, “Now’s the time.”
But the people who change their lives don’t wait.
They act — especially when it’s uncomfortable.
They kickstart their own momentum and build the confidence after they’ve started, not before.
If You’re Outside Your Comfort Zone — Good.
Because that’s where the growth happens.
If you feel nervous, unsure, exposed — you’re doing it right.
The McGuire Programme is full of people who didn’t feel “ready.” Who doubted themselves. Who were terrified on day one. But they showed up anyway. And it changed everything.
Comfort never rewrites your story. Courage does.
You Will Mess Up. Do It Anyway.
You’re going to stutter.
You’re going to feel vulnerable.
You’re going to wonder, “What if I fail?”
Do it anyway.
Because staying safe is just another word for staying stuck.
Every single person who ever changed their speech — or their life — started without a guarantee. They just got tired of hiding and decided: enough.
Big Change Happens Through Small, Brave Steps
The transformation doesn’t come all at once. It comes through:
- Showing up to a McGuire course even when you’re scared
- Practising street contacts when your heart’s pounding
- Recording that voice note
- Making that phone call
- Choosing to speak, even when you could avoid
And Then… Repeat.
This isn’t a one-time breakthrough.
It’s a new lifestyle.
And like all things worth having — it’s built through daily, imperfect, courageous reps.
You don’t need to wait for someone to rescue you.
You need to become the kind of person who rescues yourself.
Final Truth?
No one is coming.
But you are.
And when you step up — shaky, sweaty, stammering but determined — everything changes.
This post was inspired by Mel Robbins’ raw, unapologetic reminders that action beats waiting — and that real change starts when we take responsibility for our own journey.
If that message hits home for you today… don’t just save this post. Act on it.
