Hi everyone! I've been doing a LOT of self-reflection recently, and that's led to me to making some pretty big personal changes in how I'm approaching my content creator journey and also my personal life! (Don't worry I'm not retiring - it's the opposite!) For a long time, I've become afraid to talk through some of these overwhelming thoughts I've had, and I'm making this video to conquer the fears that have been holding me back.

As you'll learn from this video - I'm going to take the next year to go full-time as a Content Creator again! Somewhere along the way in these last 10 years of making content, I lost a really important piece of myself. The part of me that believes in what I'm doing - even when all I want to do for the people around me is believe in them and support them. So! I'm going to take a bet on myself, and give myself the chance to say with all of my heart "I'm going to chase my dreams, at least for now!" We can never guarantee what tomorrow brings us, and there's a lot of reason to be cautious and anxious in our world today, but even so - I don't want to have regrets out of fear of failure. I want to embrace how I feel in the present, with the understanding that hey, if things change in the future - that's okay! Whether we choose to accept it or not, we are always growing and changing. I'm choosing to believe that leaning into that can bring good things.

If you've read this far, or watched this video - you have my sincerest thank you. Being vulnerable is hard and I've never really captured something so raw before on camera like this. I hope that sharing can bring out some understanding and also resonate for anyone who's been feeling stuck in a similar way.

Here's to starting the next chapter together!
