Creating A Space

5 years ago I quit my job and went full time self employed.

I honestly had no idea what I was doing or how I would build the life I have now.

I couldn’t edit a video.

I didn’t know how to use a camera.

I didn’t know anything about running a business.

But what I did know was that I was passionate about telling stories and creating space for that.

The early days of being self employed is full of adrenaline passion,

matched with fear and imposter syndrome because I had no idea how I was going to make a living from this.

At the start I had no money, no skill and only a vision getting me to the next stage.

I bought a $48 online filmmaking course that honestly changed my life and that was where I started.

One client, led to another client and I just had to build aggressively these last 5 years.

There’s been many highs and many times I’ve wanted to quit because it felt too hard, but I held my nerve and stuck at it.

Now I’m working with dream clients, building a business that fulfils me and truly getting to exercise my divine gifts.

3 lessons I’ve learned on my journey so far:

🙏🏾 Show up and do you very best on each project and that will get you the next job

🙏🏾 Be confident in yourself and accept you won’t be for everyone

🙏🏾 Always believe in your vision and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise

I’m so grateful for the opportunities and that I get to do this.

I’ve worked so hard and will continue to create the work I love and tell powerful stories!

Let’s hope I’m here 10 years from now sharing my reflections on business.

Cheer to all the people on this self employed journey.

It’s not easy, but it’s the most worth while and the most exciting thing you’ll ever do (outside of finding your life partner and creating a family)

What it looks like travelling the world with my family.

This week we were in Barcelona filming the first episode of a three part live podcast series with

This is one of my favourite type of things I get to work on.

I get to hear powerful stories.

Meet new people and

challenge myself to keep reaching a higher level.

Working with has honestly pushed me to be my best and show me what it’s like to perform at a high level.

It’s hard.

It’s emotional.

It’s inspiring.

Sometimes I do feel imposter syndrome and can definitely feel fear around these big moments.

But I also work alongside great people who make this so much fun and teach me so much.

Getting to travel with my family and doing this work is a dream come true.

We have our moments of stress but at the end of it, my husband & I always say “we can’t believe this is our life”.

Super grateful for this life and all the beautiful things that are unfolding.

This week I’m filming at the Waterfront Hall, then fly to Birmingham and then Boston next week.

Stay tuned for what’s next 🙏🏾
