I passed my driving test — but the biggest lesson that day wasn’t about the road.

In this episode, I share the story of a rainy test-day morning, a surprising birthday connection with the examiner, and the one piece of feedback that hit deeper than the score: “The only thing I have for you is your self-criticism.”

I reflect on what that meant, how it connects to self-doubt, and what I’ve been learning about self-efficacy, belief, and the quiet power of talking to yourself with more trust.

If you’ve ever had trouble owning your progress — even when you're doing well — this one’s for you.

How can we expect people to get it right… if they were never properly taught?

In this episode, I share a personal story about relearning how to drive at 44 — this time in New Hampshire — and how that journey reminded me of something bigger:
We’re all learning.
We’re all unlearning.
And sometimes, we just need to be shown a better way.

From parallel parking to personal growth, this episode is a gentle musing on growth mindset, being kind to yourself, and the power of teaching — in driving and in life.

This isn’t technically the first episode… but in many ways, it is.

In this short solo, I share the quiet beginnings of this podcast — how it started as a one-on-one moment with my teammate, and why I finally decided to hit record.

It’s not about having it all figured out.
It’s not a performance.

It’s a space — for reflection, for transitions, and for all the thoughts we usually keep to ourselves.

If you’re in a season of change, welcome. You’re not alone.

A reflection on how reconnecting with something you love can remind you of who you’re meant to be.
