I.N.S.P.I.R.E.D.: How to Turn Your Ideas into Aligned Action

In life & business, inspiration without action is just a daydream. On Episode 112 of the Choose On Purpose podcast, I connected with Kelly Fox & Terry Sayre for a deep, community-powered conversation on how to bridge the gap between a good idea & aligned, real-world action.

We explored the I.N.S.P.I.R.E.D. framework—a simple yet powerful process that helps you move from intuition to momentum without overcomplication or perfectionism slowing you down.

Here’s the breakdown:

I – Intuition First

Pay attention to those inner nudges—those quiet “whispers” telling you something needs to change or that it’s time to try something new. Instead of “I can’t,” try asking, “How can I?” This small shift opens up resources, connections, & solutions you might have overlooked.

N – Name the Next Step

You don’t need to see the entire staircase to take the first step. Clarity comes through action, so ask yourself: What’s the next doable thing I can do right now?

S – Simplify to Align

More action doesn’t always equal more results. Strip away what’s unnecessary so your energy goes toward what truly matters.

P – Prioritize Joy

Joy fuels momentum! Look for ways to make your next step lighter, more playful, & more fun.

I – Implement Imperfectly

Done is better than perfect. Start messy, embrace missteps, & keep moving!

R – Reflect & Recommit

Pause to learn from your actions, then adjust & recommit based on what’s working.

E – Expand Your Energy

Inspired action will energize you, not drain you. Lean into habits & rituals that recharge you!

D – Declare It

Speak your goals out loud. Claim them! Let your words carry the vibration of your commitment.
