I’ve been in the creative industry since November 2019. I remember it like yesterday…
The red top, the not so bone straight wig, the shaking hands that accompanied my first YouTube video.
I had finally decided to take charge of my life and I was recording my first youtube video.
6 years later, i am here telling the story, still navigating but a whole lot more confidently
.
I have fallen into the regular traps that online life sets-
comparison
imposter paralysis
shiny object syndrome
just plain tired and ready to give up
all of it…I’ve been there.
So if there’s anyone that can tell you how it really is, it’s me.
Ive had sold out offers and offers that didnt sell at all.
I’ve had content that brought people in droves and content that embarassed me.
I’ve tried new platforms, I’ve tried pretty much all the hacks haha, and I’ve come to a place where I am accepting of my power and pace.
I know the triumphs and I know the struggles.
Am I jaded? Honestly I probably am.
But am I still in love with writing my own story, crazy about using my own gifts and obsessed with building my own dreams?
Absolutely!
And you’re here because you are too.
So I’m committing to making my substack about just that - not the alogorithm, not the trends, just the process.
You in?
Love, Paula
