START BEFORE YOU'RE READY โ IT MIGHT JUST CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
In Episode 56 of The Mapuana Reed Show, I'm diving deep into the messy, magical, and oh-so-vulnerable journey of starting something before you're ready. Whether it's launching a podcast, building a new business (like I'm doing with Malama Rituals!), or following a creative nudgeโyou don't need permission, perfection, or a polished plan. You just need to begin.
๐ฑ In this solo episode, I talk about:
โ๏ธ Cultural conditioning and why women wait
โ๏ธ The inner critic, comparison, and imposter syndrome
โ๏ธ Why starting scared is better than not starting at all
โ๏ธ Letting yourself be seen in the process
โ๏ธ Why your first version is not your final version
โ๏ธ How I'm building my new brand Malama Rituals in real-time
