To start something new, to make a big decision, to get out of your comfort zone, to get back in the gym...this is it. Do the damn thing!
Me being shit at pole is a running joke amongst my aerial friends. It's my standard answer whenever I'm asked. I was asked today, deliberately, so I would be reminded to get tf out of my own way. 😅🙈
The picture attached is from the 1st time I competed in pole.
...it was also the 1st time I'd performed pole in front of people....ever.
...It was in front of professional spicy workers.
...It was less than 6 months after I started pole training.
...I was not at my thinnest or strongest.
...Those shoes fucking terrified me. (7 inches)
As a result...
...I fell off the pole during my performance.
...Forgot part of my routine.
... Didn't care because I had an absolute blast.
... & walked out as Regional Champion for my category 🏆
Which led to my 2nd ever pole performance and coming in 3rd in the country...in 9 inch shoes.
...and yes it was harder finding dog collars that would fit people than it was to find friends willing to let me parade them around stage in one. 🤣💜
Being ready is a myth, you're already so much further along than you think. There are people half as good/prepared as you out there killing it with little more than sheer audacity.
Start now. 🙏🏼

*But I AM shit at pole though. 😬
