Every journey has a beginning, and mine didn’t start with confidence, clarity, or a perfect plan. It started with a decision. A decision to stop waiting on the world to change and start taking responsibility for my own life.

In this episode, I’m taking you back to where it all started for me. The doubts, the fear, the excuses I hid behind, and the moments I almost talked myself out of starting at all. Because the truth is, most people aren’t held back by lack of talent or opportunity, they’re held back by hesitation, comfort, and the stories they keep telling themselves.

We’re breaking down what really stops people from starting: fear of failure, fear of judgment, waiting to feel ready, and giving power to circumstances they can’t control. And more importantly, we’re talking about how to move anyway. How to take massive ownership. How to stop pointing fingers and start choosing responsibility, even when it’s uncomfortable.

This episode is a reminder that change doesn’t begin when everything lines up. It begins when you decide to show up differently. No more waiting on permission. No more waiting on perfect timing.

Your life doesn’t shift when the world changes.
It shifts when you do.

Because at the end of the day, it all starts with you.
