Letting Go and Becoming Fearless
A topic that kept coming up in my brain while filming this latest vlog was the act of โletting goโ and justโฆshowing 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 industryโฆ 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 โfacelessโ content that wasnโt overtly tied to myself).
But the more I showed up for myself, the more confident I became.
I started to become more fearless.
โFearless is not the absence of fear. Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you.โ
Taylor Swift
Eventually, I started just to let myselfโฆbe. And lean into being as ME as possible.
I am so proud looking at how far Iโve come!
Now, I have numerous YouTube videos on the internetโno makeup, hair wet and frizzy, eczema flares, and all! Iโve 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
