You Don’t Need to Be Ready. You Just Need to Begin.

What if the secret wasn’t about being prepared?

What if the breakthrough only comes after the first shaky step?

We keep waiting for the moment when the stars align and the fear shrinks and the timing feels perfect.

But let me tell you what I’ve learned from life, love, trauma, and starting over:

The moment doesn’t show up polished. You do.

You show up—with your unfinished story, your holy mess, your heart still beating from all the things you survived.

You show up barefoot, brave, and a little unsure. And that’s more than enough.

I used to think courage looked like confidence. Now I know courage looks like trembling hands and tear-stained cheeks and still saying: "I’m doing it anyway.”

That’s how I built my business. That’s how I healed from trauma. That’s how I get up every single day and choose to try again.

This is your reminder: You’re not too late. You’re not too broken. You’re not too much. You’re just… right on time.

So stop waiting for readiness. Just begin. The path will meet you halfway.
