Summary

In this episode of the Ask Yourself Why Not podcast, Jayla and Shaye discuss the importance of starting before you feel ready. They explore the common fears that hold people back, such as the fear of failure and the illusion of the perfect time. The hosts emphasize that confidence is gained through action and that everyone is a beginner at some point.
