The Ugly Baby

Higher Pursuit Podcast

Welcome to a hilarious episode of the Higher Pursuit Podcast, where we dive into the messy and comical side of life! Today, get ready to laugh, cringe, and maybe even shed a tear as we explore the fear of not being enough and the scary notion of stepping into our 'next'!
In this episode, I'm going to share a personal story that I like to call my "ugly baby" moment. Picture this: I've just birthed my brand-new book, and like any parent, I'm filled with a mix of excitement and terror. But instead of worrying about a baby being ugly, I found myself fretting over my book being an "ugly baby"! Yes, you heard it right! I couldn't help but fear that my brilliant creation would turn out to be an absolute trainwreck. Can you imagine the horror?
Join me as I navigate this hilarious, self-deprecating journey through my paranoid thoughts about my book's "ugliness." We'll discuss the fears of not being enough, that nagging little voice in our heads that keeps saying, "What if it's not good enough? What if I'm not good enough?"
But fear not, my lovely listeners! I soon realized that all parents (and authors) have moments of doubt, fear, and anxiety. It's normal to worry about our creations and our ability to sustain them. In fact, it's part of the creative process! So, let's laugh at those crazy fears together and learn how to face them head-on.
Get ready to laugh, reflect, and gain some insight into your own fears and struggles. Tune in to this episode and let's conquer our self-doubts, one laugh at a time!
