In this episode, I dive into the power of experimentation and decision-making, especially when fear and uncertainty try to hold us back. I share my own journey of learning to let go of shame and embarrassment around not always knowing what I want, and how small, intentional steps have helped me discover new paths. Throughout the episode, I encourage you to embrace your individuality, explore without shame, and view even small experiments as a way to build clarity, confidence, and momentum.

If you’re ready to step outside your comfort zone and start discovering what truly lights you up, this episode will give you both inspiration and practical ideas to start today.

Takeaways:

• Experimentation creates clarity. You don’t need to have everything figured out before you start — small steps reveal new paths and options.
  

• Overcome the fear of the unknown. Let go of shame or embarrassment about not knowing what you want; learning comes through doing.
  

• Avoid getting stuck in research mode. Do just enough research to feel safe, then take action and adjust as you go.
  

• Communicate when you pivot. Experimentation isn’t flakiness — it’s growth. Clear communication helps manage expectations.
  

• Embrace individuality. You don’t have to do things the conventional way; make it your own and allow it to evolve.
