In this episode, I’m diving into something I know all too well: letting it be awkward. People are often surprised when I say I’m socially awkward, but if you’ve met me in person, you get it, and honestly? Awkward is underrated.
From striking up a conversation with a fellow cheer mum (who’s now my competition-day buddy) to pitching my own thesis project at uni when everyone else just followed the crowd, none of that magic would’ve happened if I’d waited to be polished and perfect. I just said the thing. Even if it came out clunky or weird.
Today I’m inviting you to stop hiding behind the scenes and start letting your awkward self out. Whether it's complimenting someone in line at the shops or finally starting the thing you've been putting off, there is real power in showing up exactly as you are.
If you're ready to stop overthinking and start doing, come join me for Mighty 90 LIVE, kicking off July 1. It’s practical magic for real goals like launching your podcast, writing that book, or just getting stuff done. This is not mega yachts and white bikinis. It's honest, grounded action with support from me, daily prompts, and Voxer check-ins over 90 days.
Let it be awkward. Let it be messy. Let it be yours.
