Writing is such a beautiful way of expressing oneself. A kind of music that flows from the brain and fingers, much like playing the piano I shall practice here in public. I hope that inspires you to DO the thing instead of waiting until you are perfect at the thing. I've waited too long...

Don't make this mistake when it comes to your ideas...

I've finally started my podcast, Your Creative GPS.

This idea has been rolling around in my head FOREVER. I had different versions, partners, names, oh my. ๐Ÿ™„ You name it, I thought it.

Using my voice is so natural and easy for me! As a singer and pianist, I have a deep understanding of my voice and a decent understanding of tech and sound. Talking comes so easily to me (just ask my husband, lol). You would think that doing a podcast is pretty much a no-brainer.

However, once again I edited myself. I held myself back from starting because I was worried that I would sound weird and that it would sound wrong, and off somehow and then no one would take voice lessons from me and no one would hire me to sing for them and obviously, the world would totally blow up.

Listen! Don't be like me... well me in the past. Please don't take offense, but here's the thing...

NO ONE IS THINKING ABOUT YOU. They are worried about themselves and their shiz.

Donโ€™t edit yourself, friends! Please try all the things you are thinking about and dreaming of. Only then will you have the data to figure out what works best for you. You NEED that data of what works and what doesn't work to do your best work.

I've already learned so many things and I'm only on Episode 2 of the recording. Things I hadn't even thought about are happening both good and bad and I'm adjusting and getting better.

I've created a checklist, redid my recording setup and settings and re-recorded episode 2 to tighten up my content. Instead of just thinking about doing it and reading about doing it, I AM DOING IT!

It is, after all, in the DOING we are able to BECOME. ๐Ÿฆ‹
