| Hello there, Here’s a little story of the behind-the-scenes of my life the year leading up to when I launched my coaching business in August of 2021. I got into inner work and life coaching not only from my own personal issues, but because I was also tired of watching everyone complain so much back when I was streaming on Twitch. I had a lot of folks in my community come to me for problems. I’d be there for them; some of them listened to my advice, and some of them didn’t. It ended up getting draining. But I knew I had this gift deep down that needed to be put out there in the world. Once I started talking about self-improvement, consciousness expansion, mindset, and meditation back in 2021 on my livestreams. A lot of my viewers would spam sleepy emojis in my chat. I realized I can’t change others. So I changed myself. I started posting content about this stuff on X (Twitter back then) and a bit on Instagram too. And so many people I met in the Twitch space were judgmental about it. Saying I was preaching “dangerous rhetoric” on mental health. But it took courage for me to make a switch in my identity. From the always goofy streamer who would drink, make jokes, and always be agreeable. I shifted my content and brand to coaching, inner work, the subconscious mind, and self-improvement. So if you are afraid of speaking your truth on social media, in groups of people, your family, your social circle, and even on dates. I want you to realize that any judgment you receive from others is ALWAYS temporary. Facing that short-term discomfort today will be what IMPACTS the people who are ready to follow you, learn from you, and buy from you down the road if a business is what you are considering to start later down the road. The main point I want to address here is that changing your identity is ALWAYS uncomfortable at the start. But after awhile, it becomes a natural part of who you are. It’s what got me to be a successful coach today. Imagine where it can take you with your own personal or professional dreams. |
