Hey, Sugar! I have been flying too close to the sun. I know that, and I can fully admit it. I have lived more this year than I have in the past twenty, and while I don't have any intention of slowing down, I do think I need to collect myself before I go any further.
For the first time in my life, I have truly stopped caring about the opinions of others. Specifically, the opinions others might have about me. And it has been... AMAZING. Don't get me wrong, it took a lot to get here, and it took a while to settle into the new discomfort. Oh, but the rewards!
I have found my people. In-person and virtually. The small following I have drummed up across TikTok and Instagram has connected me with those who are more aligned and just as intentional as I. No longer am I too outspoken, or too loud, or too vibrant. I am inspirational, relatable, and even comforting.
Virtual connections have become true friendships and a meeting of minds that lead to action. Which has led to more ventures than I truly know what to do with lol.
So, I've had to prioritize. The band has to go. I know, I know. It was fun, but I honestly don't have the time to give it what it needs between my own content and the job that pays the bills.
I'm very excited about the collaborations because it means that I get to work with people whom I respect and admire. It's also exciting to work with people who are as equally motivated and intentional. That's what I have come to love about the KAD community--there's intention. We want to see one another--we plan. We're building our relationships--we are in constant communication with one another lol.
I'm starting to see where I'm spending my time 🤣😂
The podcast will go on hold for a rebrand, of sorts, and until I have some episodes under my belt. As I record with guests, I feel the need to make sure I present it properly and not sloppily. These aren't my stories, and I want to handle them with care and respect as I bring them to you.
The truth is that I "did it for the plot" a little too much all at once, and now I need to play catch up on some things. I'm ok with that.
But what does that mean for you? I hope it means that I am able to provide more resources, continue to speak out consistently for my community, and provide a platform for others to share their journey. Maybe even help them get started on finding their own voice and how they might want to channel it.
If you have some stories to tell, feel free to reach out. I would love to share them. If you have made it this far, thank you so much for all of the support. For listening and reading and engaging with the bajillion things that I do. Thank you for being here.
