Welcome (back) to the soft relaunch of the podcast!
After an unexpected five-month pause, I'm returning with a new energy, a new mini-series called Local Letters, and a deeper commitment to showing up imperfectly.
This episode is raw, heart-led, and completely unfiltered—no intro, no outro, just me and you.
I'm sharing the messy, honest journey of learning how to express myself without getting tangled in perfectionism, comparison, and performance. I even share a story I've never told about how self-doubt once led me to accidentally build an entire business.
So - if you've ever felt like you have to have it all figured out before you can be seen, this one's for you.
Timestamps:
[00:00] - A soft hello and an honest return

[13:20] - A little story about turning an identity crisis into a business
