Excited, but yes, <em>nervous.<\/em> Luckily I didn&#8217;t have too much time to overthink it, because about a week later, I packed my suitcase and was on my way. It turns out, there was <em>nothing<\/em> to be worried about. I have never met a nicer group of people. So fun, so encouraging, and so professional&#8230; what else would you expect though, right?! I ended up shooting five segments with their lovely #OWNSHOW host, Danisha Danielle Hoston. Thanks goodness for Danisha &#8211; she instantly made me feel comfortable. Anyway, we talked about shame, inner-critics, blocks, and finding a way out of all of that.
