Hello, and beautiful people, and welcome back to the Moments Podcast. This is a continuation of last week's episode.

I'm recording it, recording two and one right now. So we've been doing advice, and if you want to listen to the last week's episode,

go for it. If you listen to it already, welcome back. What we're getting into right now is,

how do you have enough courage to start something people around you don't see working? And this is something I

felt and experienced a lot. Like, let's go all the way back to when I first started making TikToks.

I got so shit on it's crazy. All of my friends were like, this is so cringe. Why are you on TikTok?

Why are you making dancing videos? And even I look back at my old videos and I'm like, dang girl,

what were you doing? Clearly it worked out, so I'm not mad about it. But there were a lot of people around

me who didn't believe in me. There's still a lot of people around me who I will explain what I do

for my job and how passionate I am about it and how much I love it. And they'll be like, oh, so you

should post on Instagram and TikTok and like, you're an influencer. And I'm like, okay, you could

look it at that way. But for me, in my heart, I know what I'm doing is so much bigger than that. I

know that I have dreams and goals and so many other things that I'm going to pursue in this lifetime.

And so many other things in the works, I'm going to be a published author. I'm working on a guided

journal. I have dreams to film a documentary one day of people across the world. Like, I have

big goals. And I am confident, so confident in this journey that I've gotten myself to a point

where I don't care what anyone around me thinks. And in the beginning, I did. So I would change

what I was doing just for other people to understand me or like believe me or have faith in me.

But now that I've been pursuing an interesting dream for a little while now, I've gone to a point

where I just say, screw it. I don't need people to believe in me. There's no one I need to prove

anything to accept myself. I'm the only one I owe anything to. You know what I'm saying?

Just trust yourself. Believe yourself. And watch as soon as those dreams become your reality,
