Have you ever let perfectionism hold you back? In this episode of Dyslexia Decoded, I’m getting vulnerable and sharing the story behind why it took me months to release this very podcast. Recorded on my 43rd birthday and finally released in January 2025, this episode is a testament to embracing imperfection and starting messy.
You’ll hear:
•My journey with dyslexia and how it shaped my perspective on failure.
•The cringe-worthy story of my first podcast recording—and why I decided to post it anyway.
•Why being bad at something is a necessary step on the road to being great.
If you’ve ever struggled with fear of failure or perfectionism, this episode is for you. Let’s celebrate the courage to start, no matter how imperfectly, and discover the beauty in progress over perfection.
Key Takeaways:
•Why starting messy is better than not starting at all.
•How embracing imperfection leads to growth and transformation.
•Stories of resilience, creativity, and turning struggles into triumphs.
Thank you for listening to Dyslexia Decoded! Remember, every journey begins with a single step, and progress always beats perfection.
