How to Find the Courage to Start Something Scary
The Art of Beginning Before You’re Ready
Have you ever been so excited about an idea that you immediately started thinking of everything you needed to figure out before you could begin? We’ve both been there, and in this episode, we’re talking about what helps us actually get started.
Royce shares how opening a warehouse and changing her business left her wondering what to do first—and how choosing a few small tasks helped her begin.
We also talk about asking for feedback and how personal it can feel when someone questions something you care about. Royce shares her experience changing the name of a class, and we explore how curiosity can help us learn from a response and decide what to try next.
Of course, the conversation takes a few turns along the way. We get into how we speak to ourselves, why certain comments stay with us, and what it means to trust our own judgment while we’re still learning.
Whether you’re beginning a creative project or pursuing a change you’ve been thinking about for years, we hope you’ll join us.
This week, choose three small things you can do toward something you want. What will you start with? We’d love to hear.
