No Shame in My Early RPM Game

When I look back at the early days of our RPM journey, I can honestly say I made my fair share of mistakes. There are videos from those first sessions that I still have a hard time watching. Some of them make me cringe so much that I joke about getting PTSD just thinking about them! But all jokes aside, those imperfect beginnings are a part of the story. They’re powerful reminder that learning—real, meaningful learning—is messy, nonlinear, and beautifully human.

My mistakes didn’t mean I wasn’t trying hard enough. They meant I was learning. And with every misstep, I grew more aware, more intentional, and more attuned to what my son needed from me. I’m so grateful I kept those old clips because they are meaningful marker of how far we’ve come together. Goals that once felt impossible to achieve, are now part of our everyday rhythm.

This journey has taught me to embrace imperfection, stay open, and keep moving forward—even when I don’t have all the answers. Because growth doesn’t come from getting it right the first time. It comes from showing up—again and again—with patience, humility, and hope.
