Ep 127 - Courage to Begin

from What Could Go Right? · host Erik Orton + Emily Orton

Trying something new always sounds simple… until it’s your turn. Those first steps—whether it’s pressing “send,” showing up, or saying yes—can feel monumental. Because they are. In this episode, we talk about the courage it takes to start when you don’t feel ready, the doubts that show up right on time, and why even a small step can be a big deal. Forward doesn’t have to be flawless—it just has to be forward. Welcome to the What Could Go Right? Podcast. We’re your hosts: Erik Orton and Emily Orton. We talk about personal growth and sailing. In 2014, with little experience and less money, we bootstrapped a year on a sailboat with our five kids and it changed our lives forever. We tell the whole story in our book Seven at Sea. On this podcast, we want to help you go from fear to freedom one adventure at a time. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rate. Review.
