A Midlife Journey Beyond the Glam in Content Creation
Unveiling the Real Me
Welp, Here I Am Again in the Vlogging/Blogging Sphere
I’ve been pulled back in this direction, not because I have to, but because I genuinely love doing it. Sometimes, though, it can be defeating when you put in so much work and see very little traction. However, I’ve learned a few things during this midlife journey: reflection is key, and trial and error is part of the human experience.
