From the nerves and false starts to slowly finding her rhythm, she shows that stepping into something unfamiliar can be daunting — but also exciting, messy, and deeply rewarding. ✨ What’s Next Episodes 1–3 are about building the foundations — sharing our own stories, science, and experiences to set the scene.
