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. This episode is to remind you to be human.

It’s a new year and a lot of us have made new starts in our lives. We’ve made new year’s resolutions, goals and intentions and other things to start the new year. While all of these are good ways to start the year, we only wait for a new year before we make these start. Do we really need a new year to do all these things or can we make a fresh start whether it’s a new year or not?

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.
