In this mini episode, I’m sharing something that’s been on my heart lately: that uncomfortable place where our creative ideas get stuck. You know the one — where you’re holding onto something beautiful, but fear, perfectionism, or just plain old procrastination keeps it tucked away.

This reflection was sparked by a recent conversation with my sister. She has an amazing idea she’s been sitting on since the pandemic, and it got me thinking… How often do we do this to ourselves? How often do we protect our ideas so much that we stop them from growing?

In this episode, I talk about the power of small steps — the kind that might seem insignificant at first, but that slowly, steadily builds momentum. If you’ve been feeling stuck or overwhelmed about where to start, this one’s for you. No pressure, just a gentle nudge to begin. Even the tiniest action matters.

Let’s walk through it together.
