About this listen
Weezy and Justin dig into a pattern they see constantly in clients, coaches, and everyday life: the bad habit of waiting for permission instead of choosing the thing you already know is right for you.
They get into how couples navigate spending decisions, how adults unintentionally put themselves back into child-mode, and why “waiting to be told it’s okay” feels safer than acting on what you want.
Together, they unpack why permission-seeking shows up so often: fear of disapproval, fear of identity shifts, fear of uncertainty, fear of cost — financial or emotional. It can feel safer to hold still and wait for someone to point you in a direction rather than risk being wrong. But that safety has a cost. It keeps you smaller, slower, and more dependent on external validation than you realize.
If you’ve ever found yourself delaying a decision because you’re hoping someone else will bless it, tell you it’s the right move, or guarantee the outcome, this conversation will hit home. And it might give you exactly the nudge you need.
What we cover:
• Why “I need to ask permission” shows up in adults more than we like to admit
• The difference between informing someone and seeking approval
• How household rules and money agreements fit into healthy decision-making
• Why permission feels safe — and why it slows your life down
• What changes when you stop waiting for someone to tell you it’s okay
• How to recognize when you’re outsourcing your agency
A simple question can change the entire direction of your life:
Are you asking permission, or are you making a decision?
