Freedom to express herself on 'Small OGs' podcast: The separation of 'Small OGs' podcast into its own feed allows the speaker to express herself more freely and maintain the intended tone and content for adult audiences.
The speaker is grateful for the separation of the "Small OGs" podcast into its own feed, allowing her to express herself more freely without worrying about who might be listening, particularly her parents. She started the podcast three years ago with the intention of providing adult audiences with scientific content that sparks wonder and curiosity, which she felt was lacking in the media landscape. Despite her work in children's television, she saw a need for conversational and weird science content for adults. The separation of the feeds enables her to maintain the tone and content she intends for her audience, ensuring that everyone can enjoy her podcast without unwanted interruptions or uncomfortable conversations.

Starting is better than perfect: Focusing on progress and 'done' can help build confidence and initiate action, even if the result isn't perfect.
Perfection should not hinder us from starting and completing tasks. According to the speaker, when facing projects or tasks that seem overwhelming, it's essential to remind ourselves that the worst-case scenario is not doing or not starting at all. Instead, focusing on the progress and the "done" aspect can help build confidence and initiate action. Additionally, setting a timer for a short work session can be an effective way to overcome initial resistance and make a start. The key is to remember that starting is the only way to make something good, and it's better to have something done than nothing at all. So, the next time you're hesitant to begin a project, try telling yourself that the "done" is better than "perfect" and just start with a small, manageable work session.
