Summary

If you've been following me on Instagram, you've probably noticed I've started posting face-to-camera videos every day. I've also been getting a lot of questions about why I decided to do it, what I'm learning, and whether I'm doing the Yap Challenge. In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of that decision. I share why I joined The Close Up Experience with Mike Ganino instead, what finally helped me stop overthinking being on camera, and what this experiment has already taught me about visibility, vulnerability, and showing up as the face of your business. If you've ever thought, "I know I should be showing up more, but I just can't make myself hit record," this episode is for you. We talk about the psychology of being seen, why becoming a better communicator is different from becoming a better content creator, and how showing up consistently can sharpen your message and deepen your connection with the people you want to serve.
