hard truth:

you can’t chase authenticity and fast growth at the same time.

One of them has to sit in the backseat.

I talk about how growth tactics instantly push you into performance mode, how “being yourself online” is a slow burn, and why trying to walk both paths is exactly why I’ve been stuck.

I’m finally choosing the authentic route. Not because it’s strategic but because my spirit literally won’t let me do anything else right now, so fuck it.

This episode is for anyone who’s tired of forcing a framework, tired of overthinking how they’re gonna make money from their personal brand, and knows they need to build the body of work first and let the clarity come after.
