Over My Head, On Purpose
There’s a moment right before you leap.
Right before you say yes to the project that makes your stomach flip.
Right before you click “publish.”
Right before you sign up, invest, launch, create.
And your brain goes:
“UMMMM. This is above your skill set.”
“You know you're underqualified right?”
“Abort mission. RUNNNNNNN”
But what if…
Being in over your head is not a red flag. 🚩
What if it’s proof you finally chose something worthy of your expansion?
Because here’s the truth no one talks about:
If you can already see the bottom of the pool,
you’re not growing.
You’re wading.
Overwhelm is often just your comfort zone realizing it’s about to be evicted.
That fluttery, floaty, slightly unhinged feeling?
That’s your edges stretching.
That’s capacity being built.
That’s the moment before you learn you can swim in deeper water.
“Whether I sink, whether I swim,
it makes no difference
when I am beautiful in over my head.”
Read those words from the song "In Over My Head" again.
When
I Am
Beautiful
In
Over
My
Head
Not barely surviving.
Not panicking and apologizing.
Not shrinking back to shore.
Beautiful.
There is something wildly attractive about a human who says,
“I don’t fully know how this is going to work,
but I’m in.”
Creative AF energy is not about having it all mapped out.
It’s about trusting that if you jump,
you’ll figure it out mid-air.
Or you’ll grow wings.
Or you’ll splash dramatically, laugh, and try again.
Either way…
You are expanding.
So if the project feels too big,
if the vision feels slightly delusional,
if the next step makes your hands sweat…
Good.
That means you are no longer playing small enough to stay dry.
Go all in.
Get gloriously over your head.
Let the water teach you.
And if you’re going to be overwhelmed…
Be beautifully overwhelmed.
