Thinking About Starting a Podcast? Six Permissions to Help You Begin (#44)
Episode 44
Monday, 20 July, 2026
Have you ever thought, I'd love to start a podcast... but who would listen to me? If so, you're not alone. I share the story behind launching Plucky Not Perfect, despite being shy, hating the sound of my own voice, and wondering if I’d have anything worthwhile to say. Forty-four episodes later, I’m looking back at what it really took to begin. This isn't a technical guide to podcasting. It's a pep talk for anyone sitting on a creative dream. Whether you're considering starting a podcast, writing a book, launching a business, or simply sharing your voice more boldly, these six "permission slips" will help you move from fear to action. In this episode, you'll learn: Why you don't have to feel ready before you begin. How accountability and community can help you overcome procrastination. Why every creator needs permission to be a beginner. How to define success on your own terms. Why it's okay (and healthy) for your creative work to evolve over time. The mindset shift that helps quiet your inner critic. Why courage matters more than confidence.
