🎙Episode 3: I wasn’t sure what I would talk about (so I pressed record anyway)
February 12, 2026
Quick Take
This is what it feels like to create when your brain is loud, nonlinear, and still figuring it out.
What’s Inside:
– Me pressing record with zero clear plan and talking through why that’s so uncomfortable
– The planning vs. action trap (especially when strategy is your strength)
– Sneaky “shoulds” around social media, marketing, and how we think we’re supposed to show up
– Why I’m experimenting with podcasting instead of forcing content that drains me
– What I’m noticing about friction, perfectionism, and wanting to be seen as competent
Listener Notes:
Breakout isn’t a broadcast — it’s a conversation.
If something in this episode made you pause, rage-nod, feel seen, or want to riff — I want to hear it.
