On the surface, I’ve always looked self-assured, calm, confident, and composed. But behind the scenes?I’ve battled deep self-doubt for most of my life.In this video, I open up about the invisible weight of lacking self-confidence, feeling ungrounded, and being misunderstood. The person whom you often mistake as strong, when in truth, I was struggling to believe in myself.I also talk about the shadow of jealousy, how I used to envy successful YouTubers, authors, and creatives who seemed to "have it all." And how that envy could’ve consumed me, leading to years' long self-sabotage.If you've ever felt stuck watching others live the life you dream of, this one's for you. The first step is the hardest, but it's also the most powerful.Let’s walk through the shadows together, so we can heal and rise, not in spite of them, but because of them.GET YOUR FREE BOOK:"Chasing Echoes: Velvet Shadows, Vol. 1" https://tinyurl.com/268vygfzBUY MY UPCOMING NOVEL: https://tinyurl.com/2c9x8yq4MORE EBOOK SELLERS: https://tinyurl.com/ynrjtn35PREORDER on Google Play: https://tinyurl.com/2c9x8yq4LETTERS FOR YOUR SOUL: https://tinyurl.com/ypn5589lFIND ME ON AMAZON: https://tinyurl.com/ysm4vpf3Hey!
