Stop Treating Your Life Like a Dress Rehearsal [ep. 95]
I see you there. Scrolling with your phone in hand, those 101 drafts saved in your notes app filled with brilliant ideas you’ve never posted. Magic you’ve literally kept from the world. Genius you’ve convinced yourself to save for “later”, as if later is guaranteed.
But here’s what I need you to remember:
Your life is not a dress rehearsal. This is your one shot at being you.
Whether it’s finally becoming that content creator, writing the book that’s been on your heart, starting the podcast, taking the career leap, speaking up at work, asking for that promotion, or even just saying yes to that date – all of it requires you to feel safe being seen.
And if you’re waiting for the perfect moment to arrive, for the nerves to disappear, or for some divine sign from the sky to give you permission? Well, we need to talk.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about time – how it passes, how we use it, and how we often waste it waiting for “someday.” There’s something that’s been weighing on my heart, and I had to share it with you because I have a feeling you might be feeling it too.
You know that feeling when you realize you’ve been sitting in the waiting room of your own life? When you look around and see other people living full out while you’re still preparing, planning, perfecting?
I’ve been there. And lately, I’ve been having some realizations that honestly shook me awake. The kind of wake-up call that makes you want to grab everyone you love by the shoulders and say “WAKE UP!”
In today’s conversation, I’m sharing something deeply personal about my own journey, including a poem I wrote as a child that reveals so much about where I came from and why showing up authentically has been both my biggest challenge and my greatest calling.
I’m also breaking down the myth we’ve all been sold about alignment and why waiting to “feel ready” might actually be keeping you stuck in the exact place you’re trying to escape from.
But most importantly, I’m giving you mindset shifts that will help you stop waiting in the wings and start being the main character of your own life.
If you’ve been holding back your magic, if you’ve been playing small, if you’ve been waiting for permission that’s never coming – this episode is for you. It’s my love letter to everyone who has something beautiful to share with the world but keeps finding reasons to wait.
Because here’s the truth: your excuses will always be there, but your opportunities won’t.
Ready to stop being the side character in your own life? Hit play and let’s dive deep into what it really means to step into your main character era.

What if your darkest moment was actually the universe’s greatest gift?
Ten years ago, I was living what seemed like a dream life – a regular on Sydney’s social scene, a successful DJ, and a red-carpet presenter for 2DayFM, interviewing celebrities for a living. But behind the cameras and beneath the smile, I was battling the demons of PTSD that threatened to consume me entirely. That breaking point became my breakthrough, setting me on a path that would transform not only my life but countless others.
I’m Rochelle Fox, your host, meditation teacher, author of ‘Magnetic’ and the visionary behind the Manifestie app that’s revolutionising manifestation.
