You don’t have to feel ready to begin. In Session 479, Kier Gaines reminds us that waiting until we feel completely prepared can become its own kind of practice. So can starting scared, starting imperfectly, asking for help, and figuring things out along the way. That idea is at the heart of his new book, It All Starts When You Do: How to Do the Real Work of Self-Healing, which explores what it takes to move beyond knowing that something needs to change and actually begin doing the work. Hear more from Kier in Session 479 of the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast, and pick up It All Starts When You Do. #TherapyForBlackGirls
