jump in
Join without hesitation
To jump in is to enter something abruptly or without hesitation—a conversation, a project, a body of water.
It suggests joining what's already underway: Feel free to jump in if you have questions.
The phrase often implies eagerness or spontaneity rather than careful deliberation: She jumped in before anyone could object.
