What 28 Podcast Episodes Taught Me About Purpose, Fear, and Showing Up

I’ve released 28 episodes of Bad Day Excellence, and honestly I didn’t think I’d make it this far.

In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on what I’ve learned about fear, consistency, identity, failure, resilience, and most importantly, the power of habit.

You’ll hear:

• The fears I had before launching this show (and how I beat them)

• Why consistency matters more than confidence

• How I built a simple system to create weekly content with ADHD and a full-time job

• What perfectionism really is (spoiler: it’s procrastination in disguise)

• The tech failure that almost derailed me

• The joy I’ve found in creating

• And the biggest lesson of all: people connect with you when you show up

Whether you’re chasing a passion project, trying to find clarity, or just need proof that progress is possible—this one’s for you.

🎯 Weekly Challenge: Post ONE piece of content this week—just to get started. Doesn’t need to be perfect. Just needs to be real.
