Unrehearsed, unrefined, and completely from my heart… THIS is exactly what you can expect during the next six minutes together.

You see, I love (like really love) researching, writing, preparing, and creating content for you.

But this episode is different, it wasn’t done for the sake of creating content. This is actually a segment of a Q&A inside of Your Biggest Launch Ever. I was asked, “Do you ever get embarrassed creating content in public?”

And in short: I do… (just ask my ex-neighbor who caught me on Zoom dancing to Toxic by Britney Spears while creating a Reel) but it’s deeper than that.
