Episode Two — Thoughts on Facing Fears and Starting Anyway

Episode Title: Thoughts on Facing Fears and Starting Anyway

In this episode, I reflect on the fears and doubts that often hold us back from pursuing creative projects. From launching this podcast to revisiting a long-held dream of being on the radio, I talk about the importance of showing up for yourself and starting anyway.

What You’ll Hear:

• How fear shows up as resistance and self-doubt

• My personal story of wanting to be on the radio in college

• Why self-expression often feels scary—and why it’s worth it

• The process of putting yourself out there, one small step at a time

• Encouragement to start, even if it’s imperfect
