What are you not giving yourself permission to do? What are you not doing because you’re average at it? With the pressure to find that one thing you’re good at and stick to it or to be good at anything you do, it’s easy to forget that we’re humans and that we are average at a lot of things, and also excited about a lot of things at the same time too.

I finally decided to start a podcast after thinking about it for over a year. I wasn't easy as I had to address some personal issues I faced before starting this podcast.
