The last 12 months have been a grind.

I was posting less, overthinking every piece of content, and feeling like my priorities were all over the place.

Then, about a month ago, I decided something had to change.

I didn’t burn everything down or completely reinvent my strategy.

Instead, I made a handful of small but intentional shifts to my mindset, business, and lifestyle, including he way I work, create, and structure my days.

The result?

I’m posting more content than I have in months, my physical product business is gaining momentum again, and I finally feel excited to sit down and work each day.

It wasn’t about hustling harder… it was about working differently.

And honestly, I wish I’d made these shifts sooner.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overworked, or just uninspired, maybe this will spark some ideas for you too!

Finally sharing everything I've been going through - the messy, uncomfortable, real stuff I usually keep private.

In this FULL YAP session, I cover:

👉🏻 Why I was secretly spiraling and feeling washed up asf

👉🏻 Breakdown of the 5 phases I've gone through in the last decade: Girl Boss → Complete Burnout → Soft Girl → Artist → Confused AF Founder

👉🏻 How marriage made me realize I was failing as both a wife AND business partner

👉🏻 The brutal wake-up call that led me to cancel 75% of my upcoming brand deals

👉🏻 Why I'm risking guaranteed YouTube income for a new business I'm building

👉🏻 The brutal reality of juggling two businesses while having zero clue what I'm doing

👉🏻The church sermon that hit me HARD and changed everything in 24 hours

... and so much more. 😮‍💨

This is probably the closest you'll get to hanging out at my house while I process my entire life out loud.

If you've ever felt like a fraud in your own life or too scared to bet on yourself... this just might be the video for you.

After 7 years as a creator and building an audience of over 1 million followers, I’ve learned that more visibility doesn’t just mean more opportunity.

It can also mean more pressure, more risk, and more confusion about who you really are.
In this weeks video, I talk bout the 10 things I WISH I knew BEFORE growing my audience.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

✨ Why more followers ≠ more freedom
✨ The hidden cost of going viral (that no one talks about)
✨ How hate comments change your content even if you don’t think they do
✨ Why most creators burn out or build a version of themselves they don’t recognize
✨ How to protect yourself from people using your name, likeness, or clout
✨ Tips to stay safe online (yes, even if you’re not famous)

If you're early in your creator journey or starting to gain traction, this is the video I wish I had when I was in your shoes 👇
