I’m anxious about releasing this episode because my anxiety is so evident within. Anxious about my past and what you’ll think of it. Anxious of the present and how you’ll perceive my experience. Anxious about releasing this episode and how you’ll view my fear of it. You, meaning just people, and letting you into the world of mistakes, shame, missteps, acknowledgement, struggle, etc. I will continue to fail but I hope I always listen to my own deep knowing and that I continue to fail forward. In entrepreneurship, in anti-racism work, in showing up with transparency and decency, as a member of the LGBTQIA community, as a sister, as a daughter, as a wife, as a human, in making mistakes and owning them. I’m a constant student and this episode is just part of what I learned so far. I offer it here in case it can help you, too. To not feel alone. To know that you’re seen. To know that you’re supported. Even when you make mistakes, even when you’re anxious, even when you mess up. We can do hard things.
