Episode Title: This Is Terrifying, But Iâm Doing It Anyway
⨠Episode Summary:
âThe only wrong thing is staying silent.â
Whew. That one hit me hardâand it might hit you too.
In this episode, Iâm sharing what political fear really feels like, especially when you're an anxious, introverted human who hates calling strangers, let alone senators. But hereâs the truth: the world doesnât need more polished voicesâit needs more real ones. And if youâve ever thought, âWho am I to speak up?ââthis oneâs for you.
Youâll hear:
đĽ My personal story of getting past paralysis and sending that first email
đŹ How to write your own email (no phone calls required!)
đłď¸ Where to find your local repsâyes, even city-level
â¤ď¸ And the reminder that being awkward, afraid, or unsure doesn't disqualify you from showing upâit qualifies you to lead in your own powerful way.
We are awkward activists. And weâre risingâtogether.
