How much of your life have you wasted worrying about what other people might think?

In this episode, I’m talking about the imaginary audience in our heads, the fear of being seen trying, and why being a little cringe might be the price of actually living your life. If you’ve been waiting to just finally do what you want; here’s your reminder: to do it because respectfully, no one cares... nearly as much as you think they do.

I bought a microphone, sat alone in a room, and (somehow) didn’t question every decision that led me here. It might be hard, awkward, and imperfect, but I don’t think that means it’s Inherently bad.

In the very first episode of Hope Ya Laugh About It, I’m talking about why I almost didn’t start, my fear of failing, and how often we wait to feel ready before giving ourselves permission to begin.

I also get into becoming a mom at 17, never quite fitting into the versions of life I thought I was supposed to, and why maybe living in the in-between doesn’t mean we’re lost, it might just mean, as corny as it sounds, that the journey really is the destination.

If you’ve ever felt behind, out of place, or afraid to let people see you trying, this one’s for you.
