Showing Up Imperfect: Healing, Fixing Mistakes, and Building Anyway

Gregory Season 1 Episode 8

This episode is about showing up even when things aren’t perfect.

In Episode 8, I share updates from recovery after major surgery — stitches are out, healing is progressing, and I’m beginning the next chapter of finding and being fitted for a prosthetic. I talk honestly about fear, gratitude, faith, and what it looks like to keep building a business while your life is changing.

I also share an important publishing update: my first KDP book, My Fairy Recipe Journal, originally launched with the wrong trim size. After learning from the mistake and listening to feedback, I fixed it and re-released it properly. That lesson alone reminded me how much learning happens through action — not perfection.

I also talk about releasing one of the most personal projects I’ve ever shared, Bless You, Change Me — a raw memoir about rebuilding life from the ashes of your own choices. Letting that story go into the world was part of my own healing process and part of committing to honesty in this journey.

This episode touches on:
 • Healing and recovery updates
 • Gratitude for listeners and supporters
 • Learning through mistakes in publishing
 • Fixing and re-releasing early work
 • Faith and God’s timing in uncertain seasons
 • Why building something meaningful takes patience
 • Why showing up imperfect still counts

This podcast is about progress, not polish.
 Block by block.
 Day by day.
 One step at a time.
