Michelle records from the parking lot outside physio with Bambi whining in the backseat, coming off a dance recital weekend that cracked something open in her. Two things she can't stop thinking about: Scarlet shining on that stage—not because she was scouted or handpicked, but because two parents asked questions, took a gulp, and said yes—and the realization that she spent almost all of 2025 driving in complete silence, thinking it was self-care when really it was just her shutting down. Scarlet fixed that. Now it's Benson Boone on full blast, five minutes before school, singing at the top of their lungs, and Michelle wondering why it took her this long. This is a candid episode about giving people opportunities before they're ready, showing up before you know what you're walking into, and asking yourself what your life would look like if you just did the thing without overthinking it first.

If this hit home, share it with the woman in your life who keeps waiting until she's ready—remind her Scarlet had no idea what she was signing up for either.
