Introducing: The Create Yourself Podcast

IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO BE PERFECT, HOW WOULD YOU SHOW UP?

An abstract reflection in a mirror caught in soft morning light representing authenticity.

Hi friends!

Not gonna lie - it was a heck of a lot easier talking about doing a podcast than actually DOING A PODCAST.

But that’s just how I roll. I pick something new, with no training or understanding of how to actually do it, then I tell everyone that I’m doing it and hope like hell I can figure it out…

And thankfully, this time I did.

I didn’t decide to move to a long-form medium by accident though - honestly I was really sick and tired of making these 30-second-wonder videos that never really let me fully express what I wanted to say. They didn’t allow for waffling, riffing and journeying wherever my heart wanted to take the conversation.

But I also didn’t feel like I had “the right” to make a podcast, because as a one-woman-band that has had her fair share of ups and mostly downs lately, I didn’t think what I’d have to share would be "inspirational enough”.

So I sat with that belief, and I started to explore it a little. Because even though there are people that will see this and think “who does she think she is?”, and even though there are already countless self-improvement podcasts in a highly saturated market, I still have some stuff I want to say, and I’m not interested in being everyone's cup of tea any more.

So this week’s podcast explores the idea that in order to be liked and to be received well, we can often play a character and talk ourselves in circles of performance and perfectionism. Doing this is exhausting - (first hand account right here) - and when we drift off into the image we believe others will want to see, we drift further and further away from ourselves.

If you’ve ever struggled with perfectionism, this one will resonate.

If you feel like tuning in, The Create Yourself Podcast EP1 is up wherever you get your podcasts.
