New Beginnings: The Art of Starting (Episode 1)

Read the show notes and transcript here.*I’m so glad you’re here for the first official episode of All of This & More.Why It Matters: Every beginning is an act of trust—a step into the unknown, with the belief that something meaningful will emerge. In this episode, I share why beginnings matter to me, how they shape us, and why returning to the idea that “always, we begin again” can offer freedom and possibility in our creative lives.One thing I’ve learned from starting new things (and letting some of them go) is that beginnings aren’t about perfection-they’re about presence. They’re about showing up as we are, moving forward through uncertainty, and trusting that even the smallest new start matters.>>> This episode is a solo reflection on the power of beginnings—how ballet classes in first grade, unexpected endings, and the cycles of creativity have shaped my story. >>> I talk about courage, surrender, and the invitation to embrace new chapters, whether they come with excitement or with loss. >>> I also offer a simple exercise to help you reflect on your formative beginnings and how they continue to shape who you are becoming.This first mini-season features conversations with four wonderful women authors, as well as this solo reflection.
