Feeling stuck in self-doubt, overthinking, or perfectionism? You might find yourself trapped in a cycle, questioning if your creative work is good enough to share with the world - and not actually sharing it. This episode offers inspiration for you to take that first step, even if it feels messy or imperfect.
I’ve got a nugget for you that will help you let go of perfectionism, quiet your inner critic, and move forward with creating what’s calling to you. If you’ve been holding yourself back because you don’t feel ready, this is your humbling reminder that: every expert was once a beginner, and your journey starts with that very first step.
It’s time to shift out of overthinking and into action. You have something incredible to put out into the world and your heart’s work deserves to be shared—no matter how rough it feels at first.
Whether you’re beginning a creative project, launching a business, or pursuing a dream, this episode reminds you: progress begins with practice, not perfection.
Hit play and let’s take that first step together! 🎧💫
Key Nuggets to Help You Begin Again
It’s okay if your first attempt isn’t perfect. Starting isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up and putting your work out there. Progress comes from persistence and practice. Experts like Ira Glass, radio personality and host of This American Life, didn’t start out as masters of their craft—they became experts by consistently creating, learning, and improving over time.
