Unapologetically Wild with Mary Giordano

2. Start Messy, Stay Wild: 5 Ways to Do the Fk'n Thing


Listen Later

Welcome to the second episode of Unapologetically Wild! In this episode, we’re getting into what it really means to "do the fk'n thing"—not with fearlessness or a perfectly laid-out plan, but by showing up messy, scared, and uncertain, and taking action anyway.
 
I share my personal journey of leaving a stable career, buying an RV (without a clue how to use it), and proving to myself what’s possible when you trust your gut and start taking bold steps -- but to be wild, you don't need to do all that!
 
I share all about the mental traps that keep us stuck—like perfectionism, fear of judgment, and waiting to feel “ready”—and break them down with 5 actionable strategies to help you take the first step toward the life you want. Spoiler alert: Confidence doesn’t come before action—it comes from it.
 
Plus, hear about the science of fear, how to flip the script when self-doubt creeps in, and why your future self will thank you for making bold moves today.
 
In this episode:
  • Why waiting for “ready” is keeping you stuck—and how to move forward anyway.
  • How to take micro shifts instead of overwhelming leaps.
  • The power of asking, “What’s the worst that could happen?”
  • Why clarity comes from doing, not planning.
  • How to reframe fear and focus on what’s possible.
  •  
    Take Action:
    Make your “badass list.” Write down all the bold, amazing things you’ve already done and keep it handy for moments of doubt.
