When was the last time you felt genuinely safe not to know something? To fumble, make mistakes, and learn messily—without anyone judging your intelligence or competence?
If you're drawing a blank, you're not alone. Most of us have been taught that our worth is tied to performance. As a result, we avoid trying new things in adulthood–not because we're incapable, but because we’ve been conditioned to believe that not being immediately good at something means something's wrong with us.
But when you can learn from a place of safety—where mistakes are allowed and curiosity is welcome—something powerful happens. Your competence doesn't feel threatened, which creates the space you need to truly grow and allows your authentic self to emerge.
In this episode, I share an example of what this container of safety looked like for me recently, and we explore how to give yourself permission--to be a beginner, to take up space, and to let yourself grow through imperfection so that you can embrace your favorite version of yourself who is brave enough to make mistakes in service of becoming who you are meant to be.
