Episode Synopsis
START BEFORE YOU'RE READY — IT MIGHT JUST CHANGE YOUR LIFE. In Episode 56 of The Mapuana Reed Show, I'm diving deep into the messy, magical, and oh-so-vulnerable journey of starting something before you're ready. Whether it's launching a podcast, building a new business (like I'm doing with Malama Rituals!), or following a creative nudge—you don't need permission, perfection, or a polished plan. You just need to begin. 🌱 In this solo episode, I talk about: ✔️ Cultural conditioning and why women wait ✔️ The inner critic, comparison, and imposter syndrome ✔️ Why starting scared is better than not starting at all ✔️ Letting yourself be seen in the process ✔️ Why your first version is not your final version ✔️ How I'm building my new brand Malama Rituals in real-time CHAPTERS 00:00 - Welcome + Celebrating Episode 57 01:00 - Why Starting Before You're Ready Matters 02:15 - My Day One in Photography (Costco + Canon Camera!) 03:50 - From Photography to Podcasting to Malama Rituals 04:45 - What Shows Up When You Start Something New 06:00 - Resistance, Overthinking, Fear + Inner Critic 07:15 - Cultural Conditioning + Generational Messages 09:00 - The Fear of Being Seen Trying 11:45 - Why Trying (Publicly) is Sacred 13:30 - Real Talk: You're Not Behind, You're Becoming 14:45 - Announcing Malama Rituals (First Time!) 16:15 - The Joy + Chaos of Creation 18:30 - Vulnerability + The In-Between Season 20:00 - Why High Achieving Women Struggle with Being a Beginner 21:15 - What Happens When You Start Scared 22:30 - Confidence Through Action + Repetition 23:45 - You Inspire Others Just by Beginning 25:00 - Final Pep Talk: Start Messy, Start Scared 26:00 - Invitation to Share Your Becoming 27:00 - Legacy, Documentation, and Day 100 💌 LET'S CONNECT: 🔗 https://www.mapuanareed.com 🔗 https://www.instagram.com/mapuanareedshow/ 🔗 https://www.instagram.com/mapuanareed Have a dream you've been holding back on?
