A few years ago, this was just a dream I kept replaying in my head. I wanted to work with the brands I genuinely loved, create content that inspired other women, and prove to myself that it was possible.

Now I’m here in Miami because @DFYNE invited me as one of their athletes, and it’s one of those moments that still doesn’t feel real.

None of this happened overnight. It started with one video… then another… then another. Even when they didn’t perform. Even when I questioned myself.

If you’re scared to post because you’re waiting for the perfect time, this is your reminder that your dream life can’t find you if you never give it something to find.

Keep posting. Your future self will thank you. 🤍

... Read moreWhen I started sharing my content online, I didn't realize how much patience and consistency mattered. Most days, my videos barely got any views, and I questioned whether anyone would ever see my work. But I reminded myself that every post was a step closer to building my community and connecting with brands that aligned with my passions. One thing I learned from this experience is that waiting for perfect conditions or the perfect moment to post is a common trap that holds many creators back. Instead, allowing yourself to experiment, even with imperfect content, creates opportunities for growth. Each video taught me something new—whether it was about lighting, storytelling, or engaging with my audience—that shaped my future work. Another key factor is authenticity. I focused on creating content that truly reflected who I am and the messages I wanted to share with other women. This genuine approach resonated with followers and caught the attention of brands like DFYNE, who saw the value in partnering with someone passionate and real. If you’re nervous about putting yourself out there, remember that every successful creator started somewhere. Consistency is critical, but so is patience. The journey might feel slow at times, but small efforts compounded over time can transform your dream into reality. So, keep posting, learn from your experiences, and stay true to your voice—your future self will be grateful for not giving up.

A woman with long dark hair sits in a car, looking at the camera. Overlay text states, '6 years as an esthetician and every time I see a client use these skincare products I want to cry...' with crying and broken heart emojis.
Six different skincare products are displayed on a light green background. A large red circle with '-99/10' is at the bottom, indicating a very negative rating. Text above and below suggests these products are not effective for real skincare.
Two skincare products are shown side-by-side. One, rated 2/10, is described as causing skin issues. The other, rated 10/10, is praised for clearing skin and breakouts, referred to as a 'holy grail'.
Especially the last few…🥵

This is what happens when you stop overthinking everything. No waiting. No trying to be perfect. No shrinking yourself to fit what used to feel acceptable. Just showing up… exactly as you are. Link in bio. #be your self #summerbod #over50 #swimsuitstyle #patreon

A few years ago, God told me I wasn’t truly stewarding my life. At first, I thought He was only talking about my time. I kept thinking, “If I just manage my schedule better, I’ll be stable.” But as I prayed for clarity, God started showing me it wasn’t just my time alone: 👉🏾It was my finances

You ever wish you could do two things at once on your iPad? Well, guess what. You can. And it’s super easy to do. iPad’s come with “split view” which you can use by clicking on the 3 dots at the top of the screen in just about any app. Some apps don’t support split view, but most of them do! It’s s
