Overcoming DIY Intimidation & Imposter Syndrome

Have you ever felt so intimidated by a DIY project that you didn’t even start?
Or felt like you weren’t “expert enough” to share, try, or talk about something you care about?

In today’s episode of Home DIYs for Busy Women, we’re talking openly about DIY intimidation and imposter syndrome that quiet, sneaky voice that tells you you’re not qualified, capable, or ready yet.

This is a real, honest conversation about confidence, fear, and learning as you go both in DIY projects and in life.

In this episode, we cover:

What DIY intimidation and imposter syndrome actually look like
Why recognizing it is the first step to overcoming it
How starting small builds real confidence over time
Why progress matters more than perfection
The importance of asking questions (and why it doesn’t make you “less capable”)
How to quiet the imposter voice and take action anyway
Why confidence comes after action not before
This episode is for you if:

You’ve been stuck watching tutorials but not starting
You worry you’re “not good enough” to DIY
You want a home you love but feel afraid to mess it up
You need encouragement to just give it a go
DIY isn’t about being an expert.
It’s about learning, trying, and growing confidence one project at a time.
