I feel like you are nailing the " know your story and keep telling it over and over" theory..but in an actually captivating way where your able to hone in on specific parts of your story that actually resonate with people. I used to be a big Sophia Amoruso fan until I attended her #girlboss rally and had to hear her yet again tell her rags to riches story without bringing anything new...i got so sick of hearing the story because she didnt bring anything new to it..no new perspectives...making it gimicky and unrelatable. (that was like in 2016 maybe?) But I really appreciate how you use reptition in an innovate way <3
Omg, thank you for commenting, Apple. I’ve actually been wondering—am I just telling this story over and over again?? I mean, I am. For some people, it’s new, but for others, they’ve heard it a million times. Honestly, it’s tough to gauge what people know (or don’t know) about me, and how they perceive me. I appreciate you pointing out the repetition. Yeah, I’m trying to be mindful of that, but at the same time, I don’t want to get stuck in the past! I’m focused on the new things I’m doing now. Funny note about Sophia :)
Your welcome! I think the past does define us to a certain degree so it's normal...and looking back its cool to see with new perspective <3 you are doing great..one of my fav substackers! really relate to your drive, casual tone and realness...
