"I'm better at talking. I'm better on video, and I’m just leaning into that and seeing where it leads me."

"Social media can be a double-edged sword. It triggers ideas, but it also triggers comparison and rejection sensitivity."

"Human Design helped me understand my own patterns—why I struggle with visibility and why I keep pushing until I burn out."
