There are a thousand things I’d change about this episode… and that’s exactly the point.

In this off-the-cuff episode, I talk about why starting messy is better than not starting at all. From buying a 3-string kid’s guitar to recording this while cleaning my kitchen (spoiler: not ideal), this is encouragement to do things your own way—even if it’s the “wrong” way.

We explore:

• Why doing something badly is better than not doing it

• How low-pressure entry points build real confidence

• Letting go of perfectionism to make space for joy, play, and possibility

• Why “creating energizes you, consuming drains you”

You’ll also get a very imperfect but heartfelt pep talk. Because sometimes that’s all you need to remember: you don’t have to be amazing to start, but starting might make you feel amazing.
