"DO NOT BOX YOURSELF INTO ANY NICHE" YES, babe! Everything online (in the world of entrepreneurship, content creation, copywriting, etc) tells you to niche. Niche, niche, niche. I've been so overwhelmed with that, and don't identify with any ONE subject. So, I'm on a mission to find that sweet spot where I can be of service/monetize from just being ME. Loved this, bc it's so opposite of the noise online! 💕
My mom has actively shamed me for “changing” for my entire adult life. Thank you for this video. I have had a bit of a pause of not knowing what direction to go in. It’s been hard to have to wait for inspiration
My mom suggested I get acupuncture for not changing and dropping things I don't enjoy anymore! I was so pissed lol. But I think she mainly worries about the long term relationship part of it, do you have any tips on that? Like, how do we stick with one person for life?
Dear Helena: I'm a firm believer that truth is truth, whether it comes from the mouths of sages or babes. Although you're young enough to be my daughter, thank you for striking my inner tuning fork, and for reminding me that I'm supposed to walk to the beat of my own drum, and to rabbit-hole whenever my gut tells me to do so. After nearly twelve years of trying to synthesize multiple disciplines into a single cohesive path to self-healing, I was about to give up. Both this video and your previous one reminded me to go easy on myself, to make myself the brand, to pivot as my gut sees fit, and to dare to be disliked in the service of being true to myself for my own betterment and that of Humanity. Thank you for restoring my hope: you are truly a blessing. 🙏
Stumbled upon this video. I'm a 1/3 MG. That mastery bit hits so hard. When I look at my career , I notice I get antsy to leave a job around the 2-2.5 year mark. It's because I've learned to master the job and to do it effectively. Once I hit that point, I'm ready to go. I've been at my current job 4 years and oof do I feel it. Also, thanks for sharing that bit for the entrepreneur & creative type MGs because I fell into that "I have to niche" trap while simultaneously bucking against it.
I feel this so much. I’m a 1/3 MG and the only job I ever stayed with beyond 2 years is working for myself! I think we need jobs that allow us to grow and evolve within them in order to stay ❤
Totally! MG's need to feel happy knowing they're fully committed to only doing enjoyable, inspiring things. Other people are learning this is how we roll. 🥰
Yessss!! I can relate and definitely giving myself PERMISSION to let go of that shame and guilt of moving on my OWN PACE, RYTHM AND ON MY OWN TERMS!! ❤
Yesss! I definitely relate to all of this as a MG. I get very itchy & resistant when pushed to niche, (this seems to be the blanket approach now), but it just doesn't work for me, and I have a visceral response to feeling boxed in. It can even almost feel a little insulting - as though we're 2 dimensional beings. I've done 3 degrees including a PhD in Lit, I'm also a herbalist (I studied health science as well as had a lifelong love of plants). I've been a lit and history teacher at uni, have been an old school blogger (in ye olden days of the internet). I've studied and practiced permaculture garden design, and I'm now a practicing Hellenistic astrologer and writer. But I know people can find it hard to "trust" that diversity. But we're multi-passionate! And our passions are the threads of gathered wisdom that make the weave of us, and feed into our various practices. I truly believe it makes what we do all the richer, deeper and more nuanced for it. Thankyou for such a lovely message and for being a kindred spirit!💫❤
this happened to me as well, until about 3 years ago I decided that I am. the brand and my interests, background, credentials and inspiration is now the niche.
It’s also the belief „people want to see certificates to see you as a professional“. But I‘m not this certificate person (anymore) I cherry-pick what I need (like the Pareto principle) in any area to be successful in finding real solutions rather than just talking about it.
Thank you to all my MG tribe members. I just found out I am an MG, and I finally feel NORMAL after being shunned and demeaned by everyone. Thank you. Moving forward I will have the complete peace of mind to be authentically ME!!!!!!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!
Ooooof feel VERY seen 😂I have for sure felt insecure because I get excited about something and then kinda don’t care about it after a bit and always felt like that was such a weakness of mine!
This is so insightful. I feel so understood!!!! thank you! I founded an NGO, I'm an author, public speaker, public affairs consultant, self-development podcast host and run a TikTok account and I manifest at the speed of light, and sometimes I feel overwhelmed with how quickly things happen for me and work out- and even feel like it is annoying to others. Thank u for making me feel so seen!!
Something that’s helped me as an MG is to think of my feelings as either- instinct or intuition. Instinctually I want to assume the worst in everyone because that keeps me guarded, but intuitively I know I can trust myself to identify a bad person. This helps keep me open to new things while also understanding my instincts are equally important but should not pilot decisions. If that makes sense
I am the octopus! I was told I need to niche but I was having trouble narrowing it down to just one thing. I am a 6/4 MG. In one of my profiles I said “ I dabble in a little bit of everything!” Bc that is what I do. I do many different crafts. Not just one. This video helped me realize that I don’t have to pick just one thing. Thank you!
Thank you. I struggle with trying to find stability because I think that’s the expectation when you’re not in your 20s anymore and sometimes I want it myself just from burn out from dealing with a world that doesn’t cater to me. It’s great getting a refresher and motivation from someone similar to just keep paving my own path though ❤
The octopus business analogy is SO accurate!! Wish I'd heard this 10-years ago and saved myself a lot of struggle! You've got so much knowledge for someone so young!!! xxx
Thank you. I just found out that I am an MG. I am in my 50's, I have changed my bus name a thousand times, yes people think I can't focus or think I don't stick to things. They say oh but are brilliant at etc.... This video is so helpful . X
Wow.. the feeling of being understood is something different. It feels like the biggest validation for being someone who loves many different things, wants to try it all + also has had people shame me/feel like I’m a nuance or not serious for wanting to dabble in many things. Thank you! Feeling more appreciative of myself. 🐣
thanks for the video. I'm feeling crazy stagnant at my job and can't pull myself out of it. Realizing it's cause I'm settling for my job cause it's 'safe'. Realizing it's time for change even if it's scary to go for what I actually want.
I do not niche. So, accurate. You are changing my world with your knowledge. Thank you. I was considered the weirdo. Not a big deal. I embrace it now. I'm not for everyone.
My fellow MG sister! ✨ You are a GEM 💎 it all makes much better sense now. Not having a niche or trying to find the commonality in all the things I am exceptional at was becoming serious work and never really felt natural to me. I feel so seen. THANK YOU 💕
You are spot on with the “niche” topic. I learned not to box myself immediately. At first I felt like a loser, but then quickly remembered that I’m meant to be this way as an MG and that it feels so natural to pivot from one interest to another. Thank you 🙏 for this video.
SooOoOooOoo helpful! Thank you! I have been watching many videos on MGs lately and have removed so much guilt/shame for switching up ideas/on people who I had joined certain opportunities with. This has been one of the most helpful videos I’ve come across yet! Thank youuuu :) !
Thanks for this enthousiastic talk. Feels like me when I am enthousiastic. As an MG I have so many different interests and even the paintings I make are so different depending on the stage of life I am in and the interests I have at that moment. I thought I had no individuality in that but the difference is actually my individuality. In fact, I am extremely versatile.I have only been familiar with Human Design since a few weeks but have already devoured four books, haha
MG over here - author, boundaries coach, speaker...i feel like i observe society and human dynamics. Im deeply curious - so I'll definitely be branching into podacasting... Also, have big interest in healthy and organic food. I've accepted that Iam this person and its okay. ❤
Oh my gosh!! Thank you SO much for this! I've been trying to hard to niche and finding it so restrictive, feeling so frustrated. This has just given me permission to let go of that. Thanks for creating this, I feel so understood! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi Helena! Finally! It actually feels good to hear someone else spelling it out so clearly here! I found this video quite helpful. There have been times that I thought there was something wrong with me and the way I am...I feel like a real octopus, with so many interests that becomes difficult to focus on one thing only...but this is how I am meant to move with no guilt or shame. This is so true, every time I tried to stay focused only on one topic or one thing, I end up losing interest and sparkle. I particularly like that phrase of yours "Do Not Box Yourself Into Any Niche" This conversation really made a big difference to me. Thank you!
This is so wild, because everything you’ve said really resonated, and I’ve always felt like I wanted to do a range of things instead of just sticking to one thing, because that’s just not who I am 😭. This is further encouragement to go ahead with my ongoing business idea that includes an aspect of not being niche, I create my own niche 😌.
I enjoyed your video. The benefit of living our design is youthfulness. I've been a student/practitioner of astrology for 14+ years. Recently, I thought about creating something for Yod Bearers. Yods can be overlooked as insignificant. Now add that to being an MG, and I truly went through a phase of embarrassment. When the apex of my Yod is triggered by transits, I think it heightens the speed at which I need to drop something, AND it moves me into something else. It's a response directly to the Universe--to my Moon (my Yod apex) I started studying Astrology in response to the Moon. I had a deja vu moment with the Moon at the same location (subway station near my apt) and the same time of year for two consecutive years. Cheers!
Thank you ❤ your message is touching my heart in the deepest and best way. I almost want to cry so much I feel understood in my creative expression and struggles in life as being a manifesting generator with so many changing interests and passions 😊thank you soooooo much 🥰
THANK YOU FOR A GREAT VIDEO! Attract and Repel is just what I needed to hear. My channel has been in flux and stagnation since I got back from Greece last June. My sister, who I just found out last week, is a manifesting generator told me when she watches my videos, she feels like she's stupid and she's right. She is stupid because what I say is so provocative and shocking to most people. It's the truth and she doesn't like to hear it. I was editing a lot of my videos to try to make them more friendly to stupid people and I just realized from listening to you, that if I repel others big f****** deal. They're not my audience, I will attract a lot of people and that may mean, very, very, very, very few people may watch my videos, but my videos are honest, truthful and to those people who are in alignment with me, they're funny as f***. All I really need to do is properly title them, so people will know what they will be watching cause right now the titles I have are not really expressing what the video is really about.
Thank you thank you thank you thank you. I’ve needed this in developing my brand. It is ESSENTIAL to me. I used to make different accounts for me different interests. This is inspiring and giving me clarity of what I’m supposed to do next
This is all new to me, but makes so much sense cause baby I have changed my work path so many times people often make comments at the amount of things I can do snd say that I am unpredictable! 😆
Thank you for this video! It really helped to solidify and understand things that I've felt but couldn't quite process or articulate. Very affirming and inspiring!
I love this video! Funny: around the time you changed direction, Yann and I (both MG's) closed WAYA Narbonne, something we were really passionate about, and started working in real estate, something we're very passionate about now 😊
Just to add here The location one is residing can also put constraints On your plans And one cannot accomplish/ flourish no matter how much you pivot ( as I experienced it ) Do clarify Helena God bless
This confirms and affirms so much. I've never wanted to niche, and continually try to integrate my disparate interests or at least let them come through.
can i be honest, i am actually a type of manifesting generator that easily pull things and generate it and simply manifest in my 3D. I am actually a master manifestor not just for myself but I also have the ability to do for others. It's easy for me to do so. I just have to be clear with it. Clarity is essential. I have done it several times. In my early years like early 30s, i have been doing it unconsciously that i thought it's normal but now knowing how reality works...It actually came to me so naturally. I am a bit discerning now because i can easily do so in my reality whatever it is.
Love the point about being so fully yourself that you naturally attract and repel people. Now I'm sure we're not gonna share the same opinions on everything, but I personally hate the PC trend that's going on right now that if you say ever slightly a controversial or potentially offensive thing you get called out for "hate speech" or all sorts of -isms and -phobias like you're a bad person for being opinionated. And as someone who's on the spectrum, I'm so fed up with the possibility of being pointed out for having "internalised ableism" lol No thanks, I just think for myself and am not afraid to speak my mind.
Thank you so much for making this video! It literally lifted my heart 😅 🎉 I do have varied interests and love to respond and switch a lot. Some folks I’ve been in contact with have hit that guilt nerve stuttering my urge to respond. We are all different yet we can coexist with mostly peace, right ?!😅😅😅😅🎉
Thank you so much for this video Helena❤ As a MG I am at the point of my life where I past self was excited about something and started pursuing it but doesn't have enthusiasm for it anymore, but bc their isn't anything else that is catching my interest now, and I have spent a lot of time and energy learning something, just giving up without even trying feels unfair to my past selves gut feeling.....do you have anything to say on this?
Gosh, I get so excited about things, then I learn all I can about it and once that is done, I go to the next thing. I sometimes come back to something I enjoyed but it may be years before I go back. I will literally be in the middle of one project and have to learn a skill for a specific step and then I am off learning something else lol. I love that Hell Yes feeling. Sometimes I will be watching TV and all of a sudden I need to paint or write or build something. I thought I had ADHD and commitment issues. Glad to learn otherwise.
Loved the video thank you!!! I want to tell you about my experience: I havent niched in my social media for a very long time and it didnt help me I was not consistent and people probably couldnt trust me as they didnt understand what to expect from me. I have niched since 2 years and it helped me a lot but when I think I have enough audience I can pivot as well but please keep in mind you have to pick the niche you are more interested in for the first few years which is basically what you were saying before your camera was dead. This way people will begin to know you and your personality and your values.. and its not only your content but also the responses you give to your audience in the comments they tell a lot about you. And this way; you wont have to feel the burden of creating a lot of different things, be basic, this will help your audience to see your excitement and expertise about your niche. ❤❤❤ But what I do I dont really burden myself with sharing everyday on instagram but I have a youtube channel I make videos everyweek, this is better for me as I am also a homemaker. Niching has helped because the topics that are expected from me comes from the questions in the comments or it is already out there in many other creators content. I just pick the topic that speaks to me and do my research and put my spin on it. Not niching could be overwhelming when you are not recognized and you dont have that audience yet. Think about a celebrity you love for example JLo was doing singing, cooking, parenting make up in the first day that she was presenting herself to the world. You wouldnt take her seriously. But she begins with singing, then movies then make up then cooking, parenting etc will follow because the audience already knows her through her niche and it is okay to move to other branches as people are now curious about her.. this applies to everyone. Be more about people first then you can be more about yourself. This is my pov. And also I heard in another youtube video which said that MG s 5/1s are like the image people see behind the curtain from the street and they should stay a little mysterious as people tend to see them as their heros and problem solvers. So if you are an MG 5/1 it might be better to stick to your niche and dont go too personal or too everyday like with your audience and clients. 🤷🏻♀️ like dont tell them about your personal life , your struggles too deeply. you have to have your superhero mask on so they can continue to see you as their problem solver and expert. Think of you as a celebrity people dont want to see you with your sloppy clothes and messy hair because what they adored in the first place is your put togetherness and your energy through your image. Your mysteriousness and strength will be lost pretty quickly. But maybe when you have a very stable career that people already trust this may not apply as quickly.. Or maybe theres another balance that I have not discovered yet but I wanted to help MG 5/1 with my experience. ❤ love your content thank you 😘🌸❤️❤️
I feel so seen :D you are lovely and so nice to listen to, I wish I was interested in your actual subject channel to listen to you more ;) But I am not, so as a GM I am already watching a video on a completely different subject , from my watch later playlist of 243 videos 😅
When u said "The name of the channel changed again and this is so MG of me" i DIED!! 😂😂😂 Cuz i have a TH-cam channel too and i keep dragging myself down for changing the content, the name, everything so often. It's all over the place! Still if i think about having a niche the spark just dies, i have no wish to keep doing it anymore. 🤷🏻
Agreed ! But how do you tell de difference between laziness and gut response ? ^^Sometimes I don't want to go outside (because of laziness of fear of going out of confort zone), and then I forced myself and it bring me great benefits ! ^^Just curious!Thanks
Hi! Can you make a video for MG and their careers? I’m an MG as well and I’m struggling so much in the career aspect and its because i have a lot of shame and guilt when it comes to it. Like how should we approach career? How do achieve financial stability when we change our mind frequently? Thank u sm
Super interesting. I've spent decades thinking I really should choose an art medium and hone in, and become expert at something. I'm always trying some new thing. I can teach a ton of different mediums but I'm not professional in anything. #mixedmedia ha. In all of life. Love the octopus model - :D Also....I was just quitting something and thinking about the differences between good quitting and bad quitting....then clicked on this video and yeah....
"DO NOT BOX YOURSELF INTO ANY NICHE"
YES, babe! Everything online (in the world of entrepreneurship, content creation, copywriting, etc) tells you to niche. Niche, niche, niche.
I've been so overwhelmed with that, and don't identify with any ONE subject. So, I'm on a mission to find that sweet spot where I can be of service/monetize from just being ME. Loved this, bc it's so opposite of the noise online!

same!
My mom has actively shamed me for “changing” for my entire adult life.
Thank you for this video. I have had a bit of a pause of not knowing what direction to go in. It’s been hard to have to wait for inspiration

Haven't finished the video juuuust yet but I had the most INSANE sacral yes to "YOU are the centerpiece of the brand/don't niche". THANK YOU!

5/1 MG here 🎉🤸🏻♂️ Absolutely true ! Authority and strategy are key. Reminder fellow MG's. The mind is the place of the Not-Self
OMG the octopus analogy is SOOOO spot on! Instant follow from a fellow multipassionate MG

Shiiiiit girl I so needed to hear this exactly this way: allow people to misunderstand you
Thank you thank you thank you thank you. I’ve needed this in developing my brand. It is ESSENTIAL to me. I used to make different accounts for me different interests. This is inspiring and giving me clarity of what I’m supposed to do next
This is all new to me, but makes so much sense cause baby I have changed my work path so many times people often make comments at the amount of things I can do snd say that I am unpredictable! 😆
I love you, gal, for putting your thoughts out here for us. You cannot believe how much I needed to ask this today. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much, needet to hear this ❤
so true so many interests and letting go of old identity! so true
Thank you for this video! It really helped to solidify and understand things that I've felt but couldn't quite process or articulate. Very affirming and inspiring!
I love this video! Funny: around the time you changed direction, Yann and I (both MG's) closed WAYA Narbonne, something we were really passionate about, and started working in real estate, something we're very passionate about now 😊
Just to add here The location one is residing can also put constraints On your plans And one cannot accomplish/ flourish no matter how much you pivot ( as I experienced it )
Do clarify Helena
God bless
This confirms and affirms so much. I've never wanted to niche, and continually try to integrate my disparate interests or at least let them come through.
This is so helpful and I feel so understood and seen!! 💗
I hope you’re taking the time to educate people what human design actually is, where it came from.
I do not do human design lol! Just sharing my personal life and examples as an mg!
Hey Helena! I’d love to hear about how you use your inner voice in conjunction with your sacral response!
Incredible video, i’ve been on a deep dive of mani gen videos and you’re so well spoken. So helpful, thank you!!
Great video!! I’m always finding shortcuts 😂 it’s great and this video was reassuring to keep sticking to my gut❤
This was incredibly helpful Helena, thank you!
Wow! I love you! So inspiring! Thank you! I'm MG 3/5 & I SO feel you! Not as confident repelling people yet but I'm getting there! ❤🕊💃
Girl you are so on point!! ❤🎉
Awwww, thank you so much. Your are the best!! Fellow 2/4 mani gen 💫💫🌟🌟
You rock! Thank you for all you share and being you!!
Wonderful!!!!!!! I love it!!! U put all ur heart here and we can feel. Thankss from Brazil!
can i be honest, i am actually a type of manifesting generator that easily pull things and generate it and simply manifest in my 3D. I am actually a master manifestor not just for myself but I also have the ability to do for others. It's easy for me to do so. I just have to be clear with it. Clarity is essential. I have done it several times. In my early years like early 30s, i have been doing it unconsciously that i thought it's normal but now knowing how reality works...It actually came to me so naturally. I am a bit discerning now because i can easily do so in my reality whatever it is.
Yes, MG artist and medium and teaching in both. Love my life that way.
This was exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you so much!
Wooow you’ve just put the weight off my shoulders!! Yeees, I found to be sooo difficult to niche myself!!! Love you!❤️❤️❤️❤️
thank you for putting into words exactly what i'm feeling
I can't thank you enough for this video! So beautiful! I feel so understood and seen and the positive energy is so contagious ❤
This makes SO Much sense!!! 🤩 Thank you 💓
Love the point about being so fully yourself that you naturally attract and repel people. Now I'm sure we're not gonna share the same opinions on everything, but I personally hate the PC trend that's going on right now that if you say ever slightly a controversial or potentially offensive thing you get called out for "hate speech" or all sorts of -isms and -phobias like you're a bad person for being opinionated. And as someone who's on the spectrum, I'm so fed up with the possibility of being pointed out for having "internalised ableism" lol No thanks, I just think for myself and am not afraid to speak my mind.
Thank you so much for making this video! It literally lifted my heart 😅 🎉 I do have varied interests and love to respond and switch a lot. Some folks I’ve been in contact with have hit that guilt nerve stuttering my urge to respond. We are all different yet we can coexist with mostly peace, right ?!😅😅😅😅🎉
You are totally awesome. Love it!
Thank you so much for this video Helena❤
As a MG I am at the point of my life where I past self was excited about something and started pursuing it but doesn't have enthusiasm for it anymore, but bc their isn't anything else that is catching my interest now, and I have spent a lot of time and energy learning something, just giving up without even trying feels unfair to my past selves gut feeling.....do you have anything to say on this?
Thank you so much… this really helps and gave me so much awareness about my multiple experiences i love.
Thank you! I'm in that pivot spot and this really helped me relax a bit---
This is so relateable!!!❤
Thank you so much for sharing🙏🏽. I def relate to all of this.
Gosh, I get so excited about things, then I learn all I can about it and once that is done, I go to the next thing. I sometimes come back to something I enjoyed but it may be years before I go back.
I will literally be in the middle of one project and have to learn a skill for a specific step and then I am off learning something else lol.
I love that Hell Yes feeling. Sometimes I will be watching TV and all of a sudden I need to paint or write or build something.
I thought I had ADHD and commitment issues. Glad to learn otherwise.
Thank you for this perspective, love it ❤
Wow this helps so much
Needed this ❤
Thank you for such a useful content 🔥🔥🔥
Loved the video thank you!!! I want to tell you about my experience: I havent niched in my social media for a very long time and it didnt help me I was not consistent and people probably couldnt trust me as they didnt understand what to expect from me. I have niched since 2 years and it helped me a lot but when I think I have enough audience I can pivot as well but please keep in mind you have to pick the niche you are more interested in for the first few years which is basically what you were saying before your camera was dead. This way people will begin to know you and your personality and your values.. and its not only your content but also the responses you give to your audience in the comments they tell a lot about you. And this way; you wont have to feel the burden of creating a lot of different things, be basic, this will help your audience to see your excitement and expertise about your niche. ❤❤❤ But what I do I dont really burden myself with sharing everyday on instagram but I have a youtube channel I make videos everyweek, this is better for me as I am also a homemaker. Niching has helped because the topics that are expected from me comes from the questions in the comments or it is already out there in many other creators content. I just pick the topic that speaks to me and do my research and put my spin on it. Not niching could be overwhelming when you are not recognized and you dont have that audience yet. Think about a celebrity you love for example JLo was doing singing, cooking, parenting make up in the first day that she was presenting herself to the world. You wouldnt take her seriously. But she begins with singing, then movies then make up then cooking, parenting etc will follow because the audience already knows her through her niche and it is okay to move to other branches as people are now curious about her.. this applies to everyone. Be more about people first then you can be more about yourself. This is my pov. And also I heard in another youtube video which said that MG s 5/1s are like the image people see behind the curtain from the street and they should stay a little mysterious as people tend to see them as their heros and problem solvers. So if you are an MG 5/1 it might be better to stick to your niche and dont go too personal or too everyday like with your audience and clients. 🤷🏻♀️ like dont tell them about your personal life , your struggles too deeply. you have to have your superhero mask on so they can continue to see you as their problem solver and expert. Think of you as a celebrity people dont want to see you with your sloppy clothes and messy hair because what they adored in the first place is your put togetherness and your energy through your image. Your mysteriousness and strength will be lost pretty quickly. But maybe when you have a very stable career that people already trust this may not apply as quickly.. Or maybe theres another balance that I have not discovered yet but I wanted to help MG 5/1 with my experience. ❤ love your content thank you 😘🌸❤️❤️
I relate so much to everything you say! ❤
Not me starting a VERY niched down clothing brand 🥴🤣 this all resonates so much! I have multiple interests and hobbies for sure!
Thanks Helena! I needed to hear this. Will you be doing any astrocartography readings?
I feel so seen :D you are lovely and so nice to listen to, I wish I was interested in your actual subject channel to listen to you more ;) But I am not, so as a GM I am already watching a video on a completely different subject , from my watch later playlist of 243 videos 😅
Valuable, thank you!
When u said "The name of the channel changed again and this is so MG of me" i DIED!! 😂😂😂 Cuz i have a TH-cam channel too and i keep dragging myself down for changing the content, the name, everything so often. It's all over the place! Still if i think about having a niche the spark just dies, i have no wish to keep doing it anymore. 🤷🏻
THANK U! this was so refreshing to hear.
thank you!! i really needed to hear this :D
Great tips
Thank you ❤❤.
Agreed ! But how do you tell de difference between laziness and gut response ? ^^Sometimes I don't want to go outside (because of laziness of fear of going out of confort zone), and then I forced myself and it bring me great benefits ! ^^Just curious!Thanks
thank you 🥲🙏💪
Thank you thank you thank you
So so much for this :)
Hi! Can you make a video for MG and their careers? I’m an MG as well and I’m struggling so much in the career aspect and its because i have a lot of shame and guilt when it comes to it. Like how should we approach career? How do achieve financial stability when we change our mind frequently? Thank u sm
Thank you!! Subscribed ✅
thank you for this
Thank youuu ❤
Super interesting. I've spent decades thinking I really should choose an art medium and hone in, and become expert at something. I'm always trying some new thing. I can teach a ton of different mediums but I'm not professional in anything. #mixedmedia ha. In all of life. Love the octopus model - :D
Also....I was just quitting something and thinking about the differences between good quitting and bad quitting....then clicked on this video and yeah....
So so so helpful thank you 🥹🙏
