Since September, I’ve posted 7 hours & 30 minute Since September, I’ve posted 7 hours & 30 minutes of content on YouTube. & GUESS WHAT!? Ya girl is officially monetized! 🥳 I knew this day would come and I’m so happy it’s here. @evaxalordiah told me back in January 2021 that I needed to be on YouTube and she was right! 
After I graduated and was living at my dad’s, I legitimately had $0 in my bank account for a few months (s/o ma dukes for holding me down + believing in my dream). Regardless of that, I decided to relaunch my channel because I knew I had a story to tell. I already had an iPhone, iPad & Macbook so I didn’t need to buy any equipment to create. I just needed to use my love for creating content & turn it into something physical. 
Financially, I’m not where I want to be yet and I’m still figuring it all out. This journey has shown me that I don’t need tons of money to create amazing + impactful content & that there is nothing wrong with starting where you’re at. 
I don’t want to live a life of “I wish” - I want to live a life of “I did”. This is your reminder to chase your muthafuckin’ dreams.

I had the realization a few weeks ago that if I want to embody being a full time content creator, I needed to start acting like one.
Tomorrow’s YouTube video is about how to be productive as a content creator and *actually* get shit done. While we love the final product, there’s ALOT of behind the scenes work that goes into being a content creator.

Can I be honest with y’all? I’m not feeling in Can I be honest with y’all? I’m not feeling instagram and that says alot coming from me bc y’all know I don’t focus on numbers too often.
I know a lot of creators have felt this way. Here’s how I feel collectively:
✍🏾 I hit 10k in May 2021 and have literally published so much content since then. However, the punishment you get for not posting every single day is ridiculous which brings me to my point. Sometimes you have to step into other places + go against the grain and I recommend that for all creators. I have almost 2k subscribers on YouTube but I wouldn’t if I never experimented! 
✍🏾 Instagram has become extremely curated & it’s a lot more work to be seen by NEW people if you aren’t insanely strategic (which is exhausting btw). Everyone screams “be authentic” but many people won’t admit that they don’t make space for that. I’ve always valued conversations on here & with this shift as a collective, they seems harder to have.
Overall, I’m optimistic af about growing my communities bc I’m built for this shit and I genuinely love creating content. I’ll continue to show up as me authentically regardless of the way these platforms shift. I’m getting ready to record some YouTube content as I write this.

Creating quality friendships is intentional work. Creating quality friendships is intentional work. Sometimes that might look like going to brunch, celebrating each other, & spending quality time together. Other times it might look like forgiveness, vulnerability, & meeting each other where we’re at. 
No friendship is perfect but if you’re willing to intentionally show up for each other, you’ve already won because effort trumps perfection. 
A year ago, we barely knew each other and there were times where we didn’t talk for a month or so but we never took it personal. One thing we did do is make space for change - in ourselves and within our friendship. We aren’t trying to change each other because we see and respect each other for who we are. 
Our friendship has shown me whats possible & I hope that you find yourself in loving friendships that show you the same 🤍

Going to grad school in a city away from everyone was life changing. I’ll never be who I was before and I don’t want to be. If I took the safe choice and attended grad school in Maryland, I wouldn’t have blossomed like this. 
Although I mentioned that it was a lonely & painful time, God WORKED deeply on me. Sometimes you need to be alone to confront your true self, have spiritual awakenings and heal. 
My last semester was EXHAUSTING. It seemed like the closer I got to the finish line, the harder it got. My past therapist told me I had to let a few things go if I wanted to graduate. So I let my hair business & being a hairstylist go. I had a Graduate Assistant position that ended up not getting renewed. Letting go of things that weren’t in alignment with me anymore gave me strength to weather the storm and persevere through grief. 
All that I’ve went through is one of the reasons why I’m going to be a great therapist. I’ve done and am always going to be doing the work. It’s a lifelong journey. 
If you want a dream, go out and get it. It won’t be easy but it’ll be worth it. I’ve known I wanted to be a therapist since 11th grade and it’s here. So excited to learn, grow and thrive throughout this new chapter of my life!

3 Practical Ways to Build Confidence in Yourself

Let’s be real, it’s hard to build confidence in yourself when you haven’t seen results or even acknowledged them. Confidence is not only believing in your talents/skills but it’s also believing that you can do anything you desire to despite the hardships you may face. My first year in Grad School, I got a 4.0. I hadn’t received a 4.0 prior to this so I was wildly shocked at how my determination could lead me there. And yet, I was still afraid to raise my hand in class, I was still worried about getting an answer wrong and I was still afraid that I wouldn’t be able to handle counseling a client because of my own shortcomings. I finally realized that my “shortcomings” did not define my future and my past experiences make me human.

Since implementing these 3 steps below, I was able to launch this blog, my 60 min healing sessions (closest thing to therapy you can get) and my text subscription list that sends out daily empowering messages! I have accepted that I have a gift that needs to be used in this world and I’m confident in doing so. Are you ready to do the same? Here are 3 ways how to start building confidence in yourself:

1. Celebrate & Acknowledge Yourself 24/7

I often hear the same theme in every conversation I have with others or myself: obsession with perfectionism. For some of us, it’s not even that we’re not confident; it’s that we don’t acknowledge ourselves enough to realize that we already are. When we’re constantly in a mode of trying to become better (aka perfect), we never appreciate where we are, who we’ve become and what we’ve done.We often discount what we’ve done because it wasn’t as good as we hoped or we feel like we could’ve done better.

If you don’t celebrate what you’ve done, you won’t feel confident because there is no “evidence” that gives you a reason to. The first step is to start celebrating every win and let that be your evidence. The moment you accept where you are as good enough, the moment the game changes for you.

We can sit and pick apart why something wasn’t good enough but we need to shift the focus from perfectionism to impact. If you have trouble keeping your impact in mind, make an album on your phone of all of the kind things people have said to you and go back to it when you start questioning your abilities. You will quickly be reminded that you have every reason to be confident. 

2. Commit to Mental & Physical Self Care

Listen, ain’t nothing better than genuinely feeling good. You will naturally become more confident in yourself when you know that you’re putting in the work. We often doubt the power of completing small tasks but that’s exactly where the confidence lies. The confidence doesn’t magically pop up when we get our dream apartment, body, car or job like we think it does. It starts in the small intentional tasks that help us become our best selves. It’s natural for us to feel better about ourselves when we commit to showing up.

I feel extremely good about myself when I stretch, floss, do my skincare routine, journal, meditate, workout and some more stuff. I have created a morning routine that allows me to pour into myself so even when I miss or get unmotivated, I know that I have the skills to get back on the wagon because I’ve already committed once and I can do it again. Let your past habits of self care remind you of your capability to commit again.

3. Be Intentional About the Language You Use

Words mean things. Sometimes we are the main ones contributing to our own demise. Start using language that empowers you versus language that reaffirms insecurities. Words like “just, only, little & if” are not empowering – stop using them. You didn’t have a “little” promotion, you had a well deserved promotion. You didn’t “only” accomplish 5 tasks on your to do list, you accomplished 5 tasks on your to do list. You aren’t “just” a college graduate, you are a college graduate that is going to do amazing things in the world. It’s not “if” you do something, it’s when you do something. 

You feel me? 

I encourage you to practice being kinder to yourself by intentionally learning or changing the words you use. It’s important that you hold grace for yourself if you don’t get it right on the first try. If you catch yourself saying disempowering language (we all do, because we’re human), correct it then move on. No need to punish yourself over it!

Now it’s time to become even more confident in yourself. Enjoy the journey of becoming your wildest dreams!

Until next time,

Kee

    Thank you for the reminder. I have recently started to acknowledge the positive things people say about me and actually receiving them (if that makes since). In the past I brushed the positive things people said to me off. No more though. I’ve also started writing down my accomplishments even the small ones and yes they are slowly but surely helping my confidence. Everything in the post resonates with me and I will keep it close by for a gentle reminder if needed. Thank you for sharing!

The season of life that you’re about to walk int The season of life that you’re about to walk into is going to blow your mind. You don’t need to know what it looks like before you receive it ✨
About a month ago, I changed my energy from waiting/chasing/desperate energy to receiving energy. Man.. that was truly one of the best things I could’ve done and my stress/anxiety levels have went down.
HOW? Detachment from the need to control the outcome. Sometimes it felt like if I knew what was going on, it would make things better but honestly, the more faith you have - the more you’ll like the surprises God brings into your life.
Try trusting the process as much as you can for a few days and let me know how it works out for you!
Btw, this sweatshirt from @targetstyle designed by @blumood is bomb 🥰 linked it in my stories!
