Hey beautiful souls,
Welcome back to Rebel Hearts Rising! This week, I’m diving deep into what it really means to be a beginner, and why it’s one of the most uncomfortable yet powerful parts of our personal growth journey. Trust me, I get it. Starting something new, failing, and feeling vulnerable isn’t easy. But what if I told you that embracing all of that discomfort is where the magic really happens?
In this episode, I share a personal story about my journey with golf (yes, golf!), and how it pushed me to face my inner critic, question my perfectionist tendencies, and ultimately find joy in the process of learning. Let’s talk about how being a beginner isn’t just a phase; it’s a spiritual initiation that can awaken the truest parts of who we are.
Here’s what we dive into:
- Why stepping into new things and feeling vulnerable is actually a form of personal transformation
- How perfectionism holds us back, and why it’s OK to suck at something new
- The power of play: Finding joy in the journey, not just the destination
- How to show up even when you’re terrified, and why that’s the real power move
