If you’ve been sitting on a creative idea (or you’re scared to start again) this is your sign.
Starting something new is hard. Starting again can feel even scarier, especially when it’s vulnerable, risky, or doesn’t match your past “success.” I get it. I’ve been holding onto this podcast idea for over six months, stuck in the fear of being perceived, misunderstood, or judged.
But here’s the truth: your art might be the antidote to someone’s pain… and keeping it to yourself might be the most selfish thing you could do. In this episode, I’m sharing mindset reframes and personal stories to help you take that first (or next) step toward the project that’s been living rent-free in your head.
We’ll talk about:
The real weight of starting (and why waiting only feeds perfectionism)
How fear of being judged is really fear of choosing self-protection over self-expression
Why “doing it right” doesn’t matter if you never actually start
Giving yourself permission to begin again quietly, imperfectly, and just for you
If you’ve been waiting for clarity, confidence, or the “perfect” timing, this is it.
