I hit record without a plan—and let my stream of consciousness lead the way. What came through? A deep reflection on how my perfectionism keeps me stuck, why the pressure to “get it right” almost stopped me from recording, how choosing to show up anyway is part of my deliberate path, and a massive gratitude post.
Listen in as I explore:
- Why preparation is often just procrastination in disguise
- The nervous energy behind doing something unpolished and unscripted
- How our self-worth is tied to what we think we deserve
- The incredible support system that carried me through building our dream home (and how it mirrors the inner foundation I’ve built)
- A powerful story of friendship, family, and the messy beauty of real-life transformation
