EP 56: Being Seen Trying Is The Braves Thing You Will Ever Do


Listen Later

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 nudgeโ€”you don't need permission, perfection, or a polished plan. You just need to begin.

๐ŸŒฑ In this solo episode, I talk about:

โœ”๏ธ Cultural conditioning and why women wait

โœ”๏ธ The inner critic, comparison, and imposter syndrome

โœ”๏ธ Why starting scared is better than not starting at all

โœ”๏ธ Letting yourself be seen in the process

โœ”๏ธ Why your first version is not your final version

โœ”๏ธ How I'm building my new brand Malama Rituals in real-time
