    Showing Up Without Having It All Togther

    Send a text Let’s challenge the belief that you must feel ready before you begin. In this episode, I explore how readiness is often a by-product of motion, not a starting line. Through honest reflections on delaying projects, over-preparing, and waiting for clarity, I unpack how fear can dress up as preparation and keep us stuck longer than necessary. As seasons change, so does capacity. Showing up today may look different from what it used to and that’s not failure, it’s growth. I talk about: calling out readiness as a mythredefining showing up in new seasonssmall steps as right-sized commitmentsfaith, obedience, and small beginningsone honest step to take this week“Do not despise small beginnings.” - Zechariah 4:10 You don’t have to arrive polished. You can begin as you are. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who needs permission to start again. — The Striving Butterfly Podcast is a space for honest conversations about growth, healing, faith, identity, and becoming — without the pressure to perform.
