Courage to curate content

Im trying to grow online after being pretty idle on socials for a few years.

After I had my second baby I pretty much went dark on all platforms for a year.

Then I got back on but was so afraid to post for so long.

2026 is a different vibe for me and I’m trying to put myself out there more. Not only on social but IRL too. I started at a new gym, I am building new communities, and I am even changing career fields.

So I’m taking this opportunity to be vulnerable online as well. Challenging myself to post daily (just on TikTok to get started) but I love the layout of Lemon8 so eventually I want to grow here too.

Here’s a TikTok I made recently of my favorite recipe: cake mix cookies!

1 box cake mix (any flavor - here I used yellow cake mix)

2 eggs

1/2 cup oil (I do vegetable but if you want it sweeter you can try coconut)

Bake at 350 for about 9 mins, then chill.

Frost and top however your heart desires!

How to manifest MAIN CHARACTER ENERGY ✨
1. Be alone on purpose. Main character energy starts in quiet moments. Take a solo walk without music. Put your phone down. Let your own thoughts echo louder than the noise around you. Most people are uncomfortable with silence—you’ll thrive in it. 2. Curate: Design your presence Caption: Eve
