ABOUT THIS EPISODE
In this AMA episode, I asked the girls in my current Seen cohort to send me their biggest questions about my life, and they delivered! There’s a lot I haven’t said before filming this episode in my Cape Town bedroom: I am slowly winding down my social agency. I can make a million dollars next year. Also, there’s a book idea that literally will not leave my mind. (Oh, and I want to be on other people’s podcasts so I’ll make that happen!)
I talk about where my brain goes when it’s allowed to think really, really big and how I create daily space for my intuition. One major upgrade this year has been paying for mentors, so I highlight the value of investing in yourself through constant learning. We’ll chat about friendship, maybe being a witch, and my positive experience living in Cape Town. And since I get this question often, I explain knowing how much of yourself to share online, with two questions to filter what you are ready to be vulnerable about.
I hope you’ll join me for this honest chat and genuine reflection on the big, beautiful life that I have the privilege to share with you all. Then I hope you’ll go do something that scares you.
