What if the best time to show up is actually when things feel the hardest? In this episode of Master the Media, Amy invites you into a real moment from her week, running on little sleep, caring for a sick child, and still choosing to hit record. She talks openly about the pressure to be perfect and why waiting for everything to line up can hold you back. Amy shares encouraging, real-life advice for healthcare professionals who want to get started in media or work with brands, even if they don’t have a polished website or a big social following. This episode is a warm reminder that progress starts with presence, not perfection.
