Being unafraid to get it wrong is the most liberating posture I’ve ever adopted, because the moment I stop waiting to know everything is the moment no one can shame me out of showing up exactly as I am.

Picture a normal Tuesday in a small town. Someone needs a plumber, a yoga class, a bakery cake, a dentist, a dog groomer.
