Join me as I explore the potent influence of words and the emotional journey of a writer. I have such deep admiration for words and how they inspire and fuel my creativity. And while they do inspire me, they also bring about some specific challenges like writer's block and feelings of doubt and these obstacles impact my creative process. But thankfully, I have my strategies for overcoming these hurdles, reconnecting with my creative spirit, and finding joy in writing.

This week I found myself reflecting on the simple yet powerful quote by Arthur Ashe: "Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can." This idea resonated deeply with me as I considered how often I overlook the tools and wisdom I already possess. Listen as I share my personal journey with starting over, the fears that come with trying new things, and the humor I find in my own missteps. Drawing inspiration from both Arthur Ashe and Samuel Beckett, I explore how failure isn’t the end—it's part of learning, living, and growing. I hope this episode is a gentle reminder that the courage to begin, no matter where you are, is always within reach.
