Ep 15 | Stop Waiting for Perfect: Start Where You Are

Hey, creative mama. If you’ve ever said, “I’ll start when things calm down,” or “I just need the right time,” this episode is your wake-up call—with love and a little sass.

Because let’s be real: Perfect is a lie that’s keeping you stuck.

This week on The Creative Mama’s Journey, we’re diving into why waiting for the “perfect moment” is secretly killing your creative momentum—and what to do instead. You don’t need a 10-step plan or a Pinterest-worthy space to begin. You just need a tiny spark and a little courage to take that first imperfect step.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:

• How perfectionism sneaks in and sounds like “logic” (but it’s just fear dressed up cute)

• Why progress always beats perfection—every single time

• 3 simple things you can do today to start creating with what you have, where you are

• The real truth: creativity doesn’t need polished, it needs presence

You’ll also hear personal stories from my own messy starts (because girl, I’ve had plenty), and how some of the best things I’ve created happened when I gave up trying to get it “just right.”

So if your inner critic has been loud lately, or you’ve been waiting for a magical moment to begin, this is your permission slip to stop waiting and start creating.

✨ Take messy action
✨ Let it be fun, not flawless
✨ And remind yourself that you’re allowed to be a work in progress and a masterpiece at the same time

Your creativity deserves a seat at the table—even if the table is sticky with snacks and covered in crayons. 😉
