April 15th, 2025 You Can't Have A Testimony Without A Test. ↓ It's been a while... I’ve been a bit quiet in the newsletter, largely because I’ve been recovering from ACL knee surgery since January 30th. I won’t bore you with the intricate details of my recovery, but there's a video on the channel that shows how I prepped for it, and I'm editing a vlog from the first month or so post-op. "You can't have a testimony without a test." I was reminded of this phrase from the show Master of None S3....

Jan.17th Sometimes, you have to ask for help. ↓ I've wanted to manage my online courses on my own site since 2023. But yall, I couldn't do it alone. I would start and stop over and over again - even though I knew it was the right move. Even though I knew I was actively avoiding it under the excuse of "this project needs to finish first" or "I'm too booked up right now." It's funny. I have no problem telling others to "ask for help," but in the moment, I realized why it's so difficult. It's...

October 2nd I went to Costa Rica with 14 strangers... ↓ In March of this year, I launched my inaugural group trip. I was optimistic but also nervous. I had never done something like this before, and it was an entirely new level of vulnerability for me as a creative. But I remembered this one thing... I've always had a good experience meeting people who vibe with my content and work. Seriously. Always. Every time. I've always left those experiences feeling two things: humbled and energized....
