Do you remember your first time? Not just that one — the first time you tried anything new. Starting a podcast. Writing a book. Putting yourself out there and hoping no one notices the panic. In this debut episode, I explore why beginnings feel so terrifying and why that’s completely normal.

We’ll talk about what happens in your brain when you do something unfamiliar, how fear of judgment and imposter syndrome try to hold you back, and why perfectionism keeps you stuck. I’ll share personal experiences, insights from therapy, and a few hilarious “first time” stories to remind you that everyone starts somewhere — usually awkwardly.

You’ll learn how to reframe fear, recognize self-sabotage, and move forward even when you don’t feel ready. Because growth doesn’t have to be perfect — it just has to start.

Start right now, because waiting until you’re ready means you’ll never start.
