001 : The Joy Of Imperfect Beginnings

Welcome to the first episode of Creative Diaries! In this episode, I share why I started this podcast and explore the concept of imperfect beginnings—the messy, uncertain first steps that are essential to every creative journey. I dive into the myths of perfectionism, fear of failure, and comparison, and how they hold us back. Plus, I share my own experience of launching this podcast and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. If you’ve ever hesitated to start something because it wasn’t ‘perfect,’ this episode is for you. Tune in and discover why the best way forward is to start before you're ready!
