Hi friends! Today, a new “At Home Diaries” vlog is available on my YouTube channel. It’s a chatty vlog where I spill my guts to you about this “new era” of vlogging for me, life lately, and where I geek out on the latest books I’m reading. No filter. I hope you enjoy getting to know me!
You can watch my new video here.

Letting Go and Becoming Fearless
A topic that kept coming up in my brain while filming this latest vlog was the act of “letting go” and just…showing up as I am (no matter what that looks like!).
When I started my journey as a creator, the biggest hurdle I had to overcome was one that I had self-imposed.
I had to get over myself and my ego.
See, I used to work at a creative advertising agency (on the account management side, NOT the creative side).
So, starting my own creative-driven business left me SO INSECURE.
I worked alongside some of the most brilliant creative minds in the industry… who was I to quit and try to be creative?!??
The fear of judgment held me back from going all out in the beginning. (For example, I created “faceless” content that wasn’t overtly tied to myself).
But the more I showed up for myself, the more confident I became.
I started to become more fearless.
“Fearless is not the absence of fear. Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you.”
Taylor Swift
Eventually, I started just to let myself…be. And lean into being as ME as possible.
I am so proud looking at how far I’ve come!
Now, I have numerous YouTube videos on the internet—no makeup, hair wet and frizzy, eczema flares, and all! I’ve even cried on camera without makeup on.
Being fearless was not something that developed overnight.
It took work and YEARS of repeatedly deciding that my happiness was a priority over what other people may or may not think.
I wish you the same freedom from external validation, friend.
Thanks for listening to my random thoughts!
Books
Before wrapping up, I want to share some of my latest reads and recommendations (all featured in the latest vlog):
- 📚 Book of the Month Membership
- 📚 The Women by Kristin Hannah
- 📚 Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross
- 📚 ACOTAR Series Box Set – It is so much more cost-effective to buy the box set!
- 📚 Throne of Glass (Book #1 in TOG Series) – I bought these individually because I wanted paperback; only hardcover box sets were available at the time of purchase
