What if your most powerful moments come when you feel least prepared?
In this episode of The Happy Healthy Hustle Podcast,
I’m pulling back the curtain on a perfectly imperfect moment: the first day filming my new YouTube show, Office Hours.
The hair was half curled. The matcha was mid-sip.
The guest arrived 30 minutes early. And right there, in the mess, the magic happened.
This is not a story about chaos. It’s a story about clarity.
And how to find calm, connection, and confidence when your plans fall apart.
You’ll hear:
✔️ Why your brain says “apologize” when no one’s judging
✔️ The hidden power of authenticity bias (and how it builds trust)
✔️ How to let go of loss aversion and reclaim your peace
✔️ The truth about perfection and why it blocks real connection
✔️ A behind-the-scenes ritual that started with a hairstyle and became a mindset
✔️ This week’s Petite Practice™: share one moment before it’s ready
The reminder I want to leave with you:
You don’t have to be polished to be powerful. You don’t have to look ready to be ready.
You’re allowed to show up mid-process.
Those moments are not setbacks. They are your story. They are how we relate, trust, and connect.
