EMBRACING THE FIRST STEP

Starting something new can be both exhilarating and daunting—or it tends to mostly feel like that. Whether it’s launching a podcast, writing a book, learning a new language, or embarking on a new career path, the journey of a new beginning brings with it a mix of excitement, fear, and endless possibilities.

In this blog post, I want to share my experiences and insights on the joys and challenges of starting something new, along with some tips to help you on your own journey—because success often comes easier when you have all the information handy and easily accessible.

THE SPARK OF INSPIRATION

Every new endeavour begins with a spark of inspiration!

For me, the idea of creating the Light Up Podcast Series was born out of a desire to be creative and to capture the knowledge and skills I've gained over the years. I've explored different fields of knowledge and experienced the highs and lows of various roles across multiple industries and work environments in the public, private, and non-profit sectors.

Each experience has enriched my journey, offering valuable lessons and insights that continue to shape my path.

Through my journey, I’ve navigated complex environments to understand the nuances of different industries, team dynamics, and the intricate world of client relations, all while learning how to adapt and thrive in diverse settings. From sales, to marketing, leadership, and beyond, my experiences provide a holistic foundation that underscores the interconnectedness of business, strategy, and human behaviour.

In my experience, a team is only as capable and successful as its least experienced member—something often overlooked and disregarded. This has taught me the importance of fostering an environment where every team member is supported, mentored, and empowered to grow. By uplifting and developing all members, especially those with less experience, we ensure that the entire team thrives and succeeds together.

Innovation and success are born from collaboration, creativity, and the perfect blend of diverse skills and perspectives.

When the right pieces come together in just the right way, wonderful and unforgettable moments are created—moments that drive innovation and shape the world we live in today. It is through creativity and the perfect blend of ideas that our modern world has been built.

Reflection: Complexity reveals the path to growth.

My experience in the public sector—working at different levels of government, particularly during times of political change—taught me the importance of structure, policy, and the challenging reality of implementing collective action. I observed firsthand how government agencies and public institutions strive to manage services and regulations that can either improve or, at times, complicate society, especially in periods of transition.

Reflection: Change exposes the limits of order, revealing new insights if noticed.

Working at a university provided me with valuable insights into the power of knowledge, the importance of research, and the transformative impact of education on individuals and society.

Reflection: Education transforms; knowledge empowers.

Similarly, my extensive involvement in the non-profit sector— through volunteering and working with various types of organizations at the local, regional, and international levels—has deepened my understanding of the value of empathy, community-driven efforts, and the power of mission-driven work.

Reflection: Empathy fuels change; mission drives impact.

In the private sector, I’ve worked with small and medium-sized businesses, where innovation and adaptability are key to survival, as well as with a multinational corporation, where strategic thinking and global awareness are essential to adapt to changing regulations and unpredictable market conditions. These experiences taught me how to drive results, remain agile in a fast-paced world, and balance the needs of diverse stakeholders.

Reflection: Adapt to thrive; strategize to succeed.

These varied experiences have given me a unique perspective, enabling me to approach challenges with creativity, resilience, and a strategic mindset. I’ve developed a holistic understanding of how different sectors operate, how to communicate effectively across diverse groups, and how to turn ideas into impactful actions.

Each sector presents unique challenges but also offers opportunities to make a meaningful impact.

Beyond my professional endeavours, I’m deeply committed to health and well-being. I’ve learnt that nurturing the body and mind requires self-determination, resilience, patience, courage, and discipline. It takes a focused effort to rebuild strength, despite the circumstances and societal expectations that often stem from a lack of understanding of what true healing entails.

Sometimes the most painful experiences can be hidden beneath a smile. Don't expect anyone else to fully understand, because this is something only you can truly grasp. Keep smiling, even when it's difficult because each day is a gift to be enjoyed.

Painful experiences can lead to monumental achievements in overcoming challenges that most may never face. Overcoming them strengthens your resilience and deepens your understanding of life's complexities, ultimately leading to a greater appreciation of your own strength and capacity for growth.

When no one is around to cheer you on, look within and find that energy to reignite your purpose and bring it to life. Trust in your own strength, and a higher calling, even through the most challenging times.

Food is fuel that supports our self development journey. I enjoy preparing efficient, simple, delicious, and nutritious meals. Our world offers an abundance of healthy fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and grains—each with intricate structures and unique benefits.

Healthy food fosters a healthy mind and body to thrive, laying the foundation for overall well-being and growth. Learning how to prepare these foods is, in itself, a valuable form of self-development.

Reflection:

It’s fascinating to watch people on TV tour their luxurious kitchens, kitchens that they rarely or never use. For me, the kitchen is a place of creation and learning. It’s my dream one day to have a luxurious kitchen—perhaps one that would convince me to start my own cooking show! The idea of cooking in a space designed for creativity, exploration, and sharing that passion with others is incredibly inspiring.

Why not embrace the abundance of seasonal foods available, if accessible, to help keep our world vibrant and our bodies thriving?

By embracing the natural seasonal bounty around us, we can both support our own health and well-being while also contributing to a more sustainable and balanced world.

My podcast serves as a way to consolidate my learning and share captivating stories that help my friends learn English. Through the stories I tell, they also learn about the world we live in and how it came to be.

Furthermore, I created my podcast to share information I wish I had known when I was growing up—knowledge that would have made life more meaningful and a little more magical.

Your initial spark of creativity is crucial because it fuels the vision needed to stay motivated through the ups and downs of the journey, especially when it feels impossible.

Through edutainment, I aim to make learning accessible and enjoyable, ensuring that knowledge reaches everyone across geographies and generations, no matter where they are.

My podcast and my website are the results of my determination to create something unique and educational despite challenging circumstances. Inspiration can come from many different sources.

The best form of creativity emerges when you turn the challenging situations you encounter into your finest work, transforming obstacles into opportunities for growth and expression.

It's in these moments that true innovation and resilience shine through, enabling you to create something that not only reflects your journey but also inspires others to embrace their own challenges as catalysts for creativity.

Embrace your initial spark—it is yours so own it!

CONQUERING THE UNKNOWN

One of the biggest challenges when starting something new is overcoming the fear of the unknown. It is natural to feel uncertain and question your abilities. I remember feeling apprehensive about my podcast—would anyone listen? Would my stories resonate with others?

Embracing these fears and moving forward despite them is a vital step in your journey.

Interestingly, I had the idea for a podcast ten years ago, but I never really had the skills or confidence to bring it all together until now. Back then, I didn’t even know what my podcast would have been about. For many years, I even forgot about it.

It is normal to go through periods where creativity wanes, especially during times of personal growth. What matters most is not the immediate result, but the process of change and the evolution that comes with it.

Moments of stillness are often just as crucial as the moments of action, as they prepare us for what's to come.

Even the first few creations may not be the final version you love, but the key is to keep creating and follow your heart. Eventually, you'll embrace the version that truly represents you.

The thought of being a visible voice was intimidating, and in a world of chaos and despair, it can seem as if things would never improve. But pushing through those fears and uncertainties is when and where true growth happens.

It's in these moments of doubt and stillness that the foundation for something truly meaningful is laid.

CHAOS: THE PANDEMIC REVELATION

The pandemic was a stark reminder of the unpredictability of life. Confined to our living spaces, rationing resources, losing loved ones, and enduring isolation—these were once scenarios I thought belonged only in dystopian fiction and video games, not in our reality.

Yet, we found ourselves living through a global crisis of unimaginable scale. I vividly remember the day it was declared. I was on my way to the airport, heading home, when an announcement on the radio stated that schools in the area were closing because there wasn’t enough water for children to wash their hands.

A wave of sadness washed over me, and from that moment on, the gravity of the situation became painfully real.

During this time of upheaval, I found myself turning to personal growth as a source of solace and strength. Amid the chaos, my passion for learning languages was reignited. The more I delved into languages, the more I connected with the rich tapestry of cultures around the world, each with its unique beauty and challenges. This pursuit led many to seek my help with learning English, and soon, what began as a personal interest evolved into a shared journey of teaching and learning.

However, what began as a joyful pursuit soon became overwhelming. Learning is often misunderstood, and the skill of teaching is frequently undervalued. As I taught words, phrases, meanings, and pronunciations—correcting grammar along the way— the initial excitement gave way to fatigue.

This process was especially challenging, since I was still learning other languages myself—but I found that many were unwilling to teach in return. This is a common theme you might encounter in any environment, whether working with colleagues in your career or interacting with family and friends.

These experiences illuminated a profound truth: each person’s perspective is shaped by the information they have access to and choose to consume, which is often limited.

Personal development requires an open mind as well as a mindset of observation and reflection.

To teach, you must first learn; to learn, you must be willing to teach. The balance lies in the approach.

It is natural to learn before you teach, and it is equally natural to continue learning while teaching. Embracing both sides of this process is essential for fuelling your journey of self-development. Through it, you gain a deeper understanding of your purpose and begin to see the similarities that unite us, even among our differences.

TECHNOLOGY AND THE UNIVERSE

I am captivated by technology and its endless intricacies. Compared to just a hundred years ago, the information we have access to today is vast and constantly evolving. Navigating this world of chaos and the abundance of information feels to me like an adventure in itself.

My fascination extends to our planet and the universe, where the more I learn, the more I realize how much there is yet to discover. Sometimes, it can feel as if one lifetime is not enough.

Through my podcast, I hope to help you and others navigate some of these complexities and, perhaps, bring a smile where it’s needed most.

Creative thinking makes life more beautiful. Every person’s gift is unique, and finding it requires looking within while being aware of the external world around us. It’s about striking a balance between inner reflection and outer exploration. By embracing both, we unlock the potential to create, to connect, and contribute something meaningful to the world.

GROUNDBREAKING NEW ENDEAVOURS

For any new endeavour, the ground must be broken and the path must be cleared. This metaphor applies not only to construction projects but also to personal development and self-reflection.

Just as breaking ground signifies the start of a significant project, embarking on a new journey in life requires you to dig deep, clear away doubts, and lay a strong foundation for growth.

Self-reflection helps you understand your motivations and challenges, while personal development paves the way for your aspirations.

SETTING CLEAR GOALS

Having clear, achievable goals can guide your efforts and help you measure your progress. When I started my podcast, I set a goal to release one episode per month. This gave me a tangible target to work towards and helped me stay focused.

However, I also realized that true creativity has its ebbs and flows—it's not a commercial production line. Sometimes, it takes more time to produce the quality I’m truly happy to share. Delays are natural when life's challenges take priority and prevent the flow of your creation.

During these times, it’s important to step away and allow yourself the space to recharge. When you’re ready to continue, you’ll return naturally, often more inspired and filled with ideas that are even better than before. Especially when your creative work is a hobby and other priorities take precedence, creating can be a rejuvenating process for the mind, body, and soul.

Whatever your new endeavour is, break it down into manageable steps and set realistic goals to keep yourself on track.

LEARNING AND CARE-FILLED GROWING

Starting something new is always a learning process, filled with both challenges and opportunities.

Along the way, you will inevitably face challenges and make mistakes, but these experiences are invaluable.

Through trial and error, I've learnt about modern day technologies, recording and audio editing, adaptive marketing, the digital social world, and storytelling techniques.

Embracing the learning curve and viewing each obstacle as an opportunity to grow and improve is essential for success. The process is also influenced by the method you use to learn—both teaching and learning are skills in their own right.

It’s normal to feel lost and anxious at first when learning something new. This is simply your mind becoming aware of unfamiliar information, and the time it takes to become comfortable with this new information can vary.

There will be moments when your efforts don’t seem to produce the results you expect, but this too is part of the process.

It’s okay to take a break from learning for as long as you need. It’s also okay to try something else—perhaps another creative activity, spending time in nature, or engaging in something that calms and rejuvenates you.

Periods of feeling stagnant during the learning phase are normal. Be kind to yourself and celebrate your efforts, no matter how small.

Self-care is key to growth, and the reward is often faster learning and deeper understanding.

SEEKING SUPPORT AND FEEDBACK

I have found that seeking support and feedback from others is incredibly valuable. Sharing your journey with friends, family, or a community of like-minded individuals can provide you with encouragement and valuable insights. Feedback on my podcast has helped me refine my content and improve my production quality.

Constructive criticism is a gift that can help elevate your work. Not everyone will be supportive and that's okay. Some people may not know how to provide constructive feedback, but that doesn't diminish the value of your work or your potential to grow.

When you encounter criticism, remember to view it as an opportunity for growth rather than a setback. Surround yourself with those who uplift and inspire you, but also be open to learning from diverse perspectives, even if they challenge you.

It's through this balance of support and constructive feedback that you can continue to evolve and create something truly meaningful.

Seeds flourish when given the space and the right conditions to grow strong, healthy, and fruitful. In the same way, your growth may require you to step away from the familiar environments to find the space where you can truly thrive. It's okay to outgrow certain spaces or relationships—it's a natural part of the process.

Embrace the journey of finding or creating your own space, where you can root yourself deeply, nurture your potential, and bloom in ways you never thought possible.

Remember, your path is unique, and it's perfectly fine if it takes you in directions others don't understand. What matters is that you continue to grow, to seek out the light that helps you flourish, and to embrace the opportunities that come your way.

CELEBRATING MILESTONES

Make it a point to celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem. Reaching 100 streams on Spotify in five months since publishing my first podcast episode was a significant milestone for me, and it reminded me of the progress I’ve made despite the challenges I’m still navigating.

Acknowledging your accomplishments boosts your confidence and motivates you to keep going.

Hope fuels the determination to continue, even when you feel like giving up. My website was never planned nor even considered before I created it. In fact, I didn’t even want to think about creating a website for my podcast because it felt like a daunting project in itself.

Yet, every aspect has been crafted by exploring the range of knowledge and skills I’ve gained from my diverse career, combined with the new insights and abilities I've developed on my path of self-discovery—encapsulating the stories that have shaped my personal growth and development over the years.

My podcast builds upon my skills in research, analyzing complex information, speaking, communication, digital content creation, critical thinking, and teaching. It also results in a unique form of storytelling that I've developed through working with the new tools and technologies we have access to in this digital age.

The intricate blend of my unique approach allows me to weave narratives that are not only informative but also deeply engaging, capturing the essence of diverse experiences and presenting them in a way that resonates with listeners on a meaningful level.

It’s about taking the knowledge you've accumulated and transforming it into something that sparks curiosity, fosters understanding, and inspires growth in others.

Each skill you acquire is like the heartbeat of your experiences—it may not always be at the forefront, but it’s what keeps the heart of your growth and capabilities alive. Even if you change direction in your career or life and find yourself not actively using certain skills, they are still with you, pulsing beneath the surface.

The heartbeat itself is the skill—it’s the rhythm that enables everything else to function. These skills are so ingrained that even when others might suggest forgetting about them, it’s impossible to do so—they are the essence of what drives your creative and intellectual pursuits.

No matter what, ALWAYS remember your knowledge and skills—they are what make you unique, so use them for good.

Even if you’re not using your knowledge and skills at a particular moment, they are always there. They remain an integral part of you, inseparable from your journey. These skills continue to influence your path, providing the foundation and strength for whatever direction you choose to take.

Every milestone, no matter how small, is not just a marker of progress, but a celebration of your resilience and a testament to your ability to overcome and thrive.

These milestones are more than just steps forward; they are the moments that define your journey and the legacy you are building.

EMBRACING CHANGE AND ADAPTATION

Starting something new often means embracing change by stepping out of your comfort zone—sometimes venturing far beyond its boundaries. If you feel peace when stepping out of your comfort zone, follow it in the direction where peace and happiness lead you.

Sometimes, it takes time to recognize that peace. But the more you search within and learn to distinguish peace from unrest, the more captivated you will become by the happiness and joy that emerge. It’s like a constant inner push, urging you to step outside of your comfort zone, even when fear tries to hold you back.

Have faith and trust that the inner peace you feel is your guide—the direction you should follow.

We are beings connected to the universe, a vast network of energy. When peace resonates within you, it creates a sense of magic. Stepping out of your comfort zone while following that peace will lead you to adventures, often in solitude, where you begin to notice how much beauty and growth exist outside the familiar.

On this journey, it’s crucial to be flexible and open to adapting your approach as you learn more about yourself and your chosen path. Flexibility allows you to navigate the twists and turns that life inevitably presents. While learning to follow your inner peace, it’s important to remember that mistakes are not just possible—they are a natural part of the process.

Expect to stumble, to make decisions that may not always lead where you hoped, but understand that these missteps are valuable lessons in disguise.

As you navigate your journey, take time to reassess after each mistake. Ask yourself: What can I learn from this? How can I apply this lesson moving forward? By consistently refining your approach, you'll find yourself more in tune with your inner peace and better equipped to pursue what truly fulfills you.

Mistakes are opportunities to reassess, pivot, and refine your understanding of what truly brings you peace and fulfillment. They teach you resilience, patience, and the importance of listening to your intuition, even when external circumstances seem challenging.

By embracing flexibility, you allow yourself the grace to learn and grow from these experiences, turning what could be seen as failures into stepping stones toward your greater journey.

Each time you adapt, you’re not just reacting to circumstances—you’re evolving, becoming more attuned to the rhythms of your own life. This adaptability, combined with the pursuit of inner peace, will guide you through uncertainties and help you discover new aspects of yourself that you might never have explored within the confines of your comfort zone.

TURNING THE PAGE

Congratulations on making it this far!

You may not realize it, but reading is a multifaceted skill that plays a vital role in cognitive development, literacy, language acquisition, and analytical thinking. It involves:

1. Cognitive Skill: Engaging the brain in decoding and understanding symbols (letters and words).

2. Literacy Skill: A core component of literacy, essential for effective communication and learning.

3. Language Skill: Enhancing vocabulary, grammar, and overall language proficiency.

4. Technical Skill: Mastering the mechanics of decoding text, especially for beginners.

5. Analytical Skill: Employing critical thinking and interpretation when reading complex materials.

Yet, globally, a significant portion of the population either lacks the ability to read or does not engage in regular reading. Studies show that up to 27% of adults in some countries haven’t read a book in the past year.

I’ll admit, sometimes reading can be boring, even for me—especially when words are used merely as fillers, stripping away the value that can be gained. But despite this, reading remains a fundamental skill essential for education, cognitive development, and effective communication.

Reading enhances critical thinking, expands vocabulary, and fosters empathy.

Additionally, it is crucial for personal growth and development, broadening perspectives, deepening understanding, and opening doors to opportunities.

Reading is key to staying informed, actively participating in society, and navigating life’s challenges.

Hundreds of years ago, reading was a skill primarily reserved for the elite—clergy, scholars, and the wealthy. Literacy rates were low, and the ability to read was often associated with power, education, and social status. In many societies, reading was considered a privilege, with books being rare and valuable.

The general population, particularly in rural areas, had limited access to education, and reading was not seen as necessary for everyday life. It wasn’t until the advent of the printing press in the 15th century that books became more accessible, democratizing reading.

In today’s digitally connected world, reading to consume knowledge can be inefficient, and materials are not always easily accessible. That’s where I come in—I immerse myself in reading materials that others might overlook, sifting through vast sources of knowledge to uncover the most inspiring and thought-provoking stories. My goal is to bring these stories to light, sharing them through accessible media that is freely and globally available. By doing so, I hope to ignite curiosity and spark a deeper understanding of our world, one story at a time.

Imagine immersing yourself in the captivating depths of how our world came to be, delving into the rich intricacies of history that have shaped the reality we know today.

Unlike radio and TV, which are often limited by geography, my podcast transcends these boundaries, bringing you stories that paint the horizon of new beginnings with the colours of your aspirations.

My podcast is a culmination of my unique set of skills and experiences applied in a way that even I am fascinated and truly excited to explore. When you’re inspired by your own creative self-development journey, you won’t be too concerned about how many people see, hear, or feel it—you’ll be so engrossed in the creative process that you’ll create effortlessly, without the need for rigid planning.

Starting something new is a journey filled with excitement, challenges, and endless possibilities.

Whether you’re preparing a new meal, launching a podcast, starting a business, or pursuing a new hobby, remember that every step you take brings you closer to your goals.

Embrace the journey, learn from your experiences, and celebrate your progress along the way. The path may not always be easy, but the rewards of pursuing your passions and achieving your dreams are well worth the effort.

What new journey are you embarking on?

Share your experiences, I'd love to hear about your incredible adventure!

Stay Empowered,

Alice
