I Tried Something New… Here’s What Happened

Growth rarely feels graceful in the moment.

Sometimes it looks like screw-ups, bloopers, and figuring it out in public. This episode is about embracing the messy middle.

Have you ever jumped into something new and realized halfway through that you were completely figuring it out as you went? That was me at the Empowered Podcasting Conference — my first podcasting event, my first time speaking live, and my first attempt at creating video content for both YouTube and the podcast.

Things didn’t go exactly as planned (spoiler: there were bloopers), but what came out of it was a weekend full of laughter, learning, and connection.

This episode isn’t really about podcasting — it’s about what happens when you let yourself try anyway. It’s about showing up before you feel ready, letting curiosity lead, and discovering that community makes all the difference.

If you’ve been hesitating to take that next step — to start something new, share your story, or push past your comfort zone — consider this your nudge.
