Ep. 41 - The Art of Starting Ugly: Why Imperfect Beginnings are Essential

The Art of Starting Ugly explores why messy beginnings are not only normal but necessary in creative work. If you've ever frozen at the start of a project because it didn’t feel “good enough,” this episode is for you. I talk about the value of imperfect first drafts, how to move past the pressure to be polished, and ways to build momentum when you feel stuck. Whether you're a seasoned artist or just starting out, you’ll find real talk, practical tips, and creative permission to begin… exactly where you are.
