Why I’ve Waited So Long to Start Sharing

In this first episode, I open up about the years I spent waiting to “feel ready” before putting myself out there online — and why that moment never really came.

I talk about what it’s like to wrestle with health challenges, burnout, perfectionism, and the quiet fear that says: “Maybe you’re not ready yet.”

If you’ve been circling your creative work, business idea, or online presence — always preparing, always waiting — this episode is for you.

I also share a powerful reframe from 12-step recovery: you don’t have to be “healed” or fully figured out to offer something meaningful. Just showing up as you are can be deeply helpful — to others, and to yourself.

In this episode:

• The valid (and very real) reasons I held back for years
• The exhausting mental loops of over-preparation
• What shifted for me — and why I’m finally starting
• How clarity comes after expression, not before
• An invitation to start small, even if you feel unready

This is the beginning of a softer, more human path to sharing. Thank you for being here.
