Personal Journal Entry from September 13, 2025 – Saturday 9:50AM
“I think I figured it out. I think my ‘step into the arena’ moment is realizing my biggest brand is me. I HATE this idea. I rather not. I don’t want to let people into my life. I don’t want to be relevant even. I just want to be happy in my own bubble. But that ick is called vulnerability and shame. I don’t want to open myself up to the things that one does when being an influencer. But as great FEMALE authors have taught me: 1) we are hard-wired for connection (Brené Brown); 2) love is the way (Bell Hooks); and 3) we must be gritty (Angela Duckworth).
And as I’ve realized, the way to help other me’s in the world and end generational trauma is to TALK ABOUT THESE THINGS!
Shame, failure, fear, etc. and learn about our power from each other.”
