Just Start

from Built this way · host Patricia Muellen

In this unfiltered episode, Patricia dives into the irony of preaching “just start”. After years of overthinking, imposter syndrome, and waiting for everything to be perfect, she finally does the thing — hits record and lets it roll.Patricia opens up about her creative paralysis, the endless loop of buying gear, scrapping takes, and avoiding her studio out of fear. She’s brutally honest about the mental clutter that kills ideas and the way perfectionism “murdered” her process. We follow her through grief, health battles, and self-reinvention — including the “three H’s”: hips, Hashimoto’s, and hysterectomy — and how those challenges reignited her purpose.This episode is part confession, part pep-talk, and all heart. Patricia turns personal chaos into a message for every entrepreneur and creative stuck at square one: stop waiting, stop doubting, and start building. Because progress beats perfection — and regret is worse than failure.🔗 CONNECT WITH PATRICIAFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/pmuellenandassociatesInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/builthiswaypodcast  Built This Way, created and hosted by Patricia Muellen - story teller, entrepreneur, survivor, creator, marketing strategist, and owner of agency P.
