Why Every Big Move Starts with Nausea (and Ends in Power)

S1 E17 • Jul 18, 2025 • 12 mins

What if that leap you're considering taking doesn't feel peaceful – but nauseating? That’s not failure. That’s lift-off. In this episode of Catalyst Code, Diane unpacks the wild reality of quantum leaps through the tale of a 1200-pound outrigger, a Denver girl with no ocean experience, and a whole lot of faith-in-motion. Based on Price Pritchett’s You², this one’s for anyone standing at the edge of their next big thing… and feeling just a little sick about it.

Key Points

  • Quantum leaps aren't clean. They're queasy. Your nervous system will panic before your breakthrough lands. That's normal. Keep paddling.
  • Price Pritchett’s three rules for navigating massive change:
  • 1. Know where you’re going
  • 2. Stay in pursuit
  • 3. Learn and adjust as you go
  • The illusion of control will always tempt you. But momentum belongs to the wave. Here's what your job is …
  • Paddling “air” is the perfect metaphor for faith-driven action. Nothing beneath you yet – but movement still matters.
  • Mastery comes after the leap. The more you ride the wave, the more you learn to steer.
  • This is what manifestation really looks like. Messy, wild, and exact. The universe rewards motion, not hesitation.
  • Your only job? Start. You're not going anywhere just eyeballing that wave from the shoreline.
