Ep. 3 | Don't Be Afraid of Making Mistakes

from The Daily Ascent · host Molly Carmel

In today's episode, I'm talking about the fear that keeps so many of us stuck — the fear of getting it wrong. We'll explore how perfectionism can disguise itself as protection, and how real freedom begins when we let ourselves start messy. I'll share how The Daily Ascent almost didn't happen because I was waiting for everything to be perfect… and what finally made me begin. Question to carry into your day: What's one thing you've been waiting to start because you're afraid of messing it up? And can you love yourself enough to take even the smallest, most imperfect step toward it today?
