After pouring so much time and love into a video, it’s always a little nerve-racking to finally share it with the world.
You know it will never be perfect, and it might not be for everyone but you hope it connects with people. That it inspires, entertains, or teaches them something new, maybe even all three.
Last night, I tried something new: my first YouTube Premiere. It means watching the video live with your audience and chatting in real-time as it plays. I was nervous but also excited.
And honestly? It ended up being so much fun! Sharing the moment, reading people’s reactions live, and feeling that real-time connection; it reminded me why I do this.
Putting yourself out there is never easy. Whether it’s a YouTube video, a creative project, or just being vulnerable, it takes guts.
So here’s your reminder: it’s okay to feel scared and show up anyway.
Someone out there needs what you’re sharing, maybe even more than you know. ❤️
If you’re interested, the video I’m talking about is my recent upload on Paddle Adventure YouTube Channel.
