Ep.155 Accepting Being Bad At Something

Alia Zaita & Yoni Ekoto
About this episode

Ever feel like you have to be good at something to even try it? This week, we're unpacking the deep-seated fear of sucking at something, especially when it comes to physical activities. Also, is there a stark difference in amateur sports culture between men and women – where is the casual pick-up game culture for women? Why does it seem like guys just naturally have more low-stakes spaces to mess around and learn? Join us for a candid convo about accepting imperfection and letting go of the idea that you need to be good to participate and where that pressure might come from for Alia.
