00:00You can't go through hard stuff in life and just let it sit.
00:02You have to use that story to impact somebody else, whether it's through social media,
00:06whether it's through whatever. And I think that's exactly what I did through my story,
00:12my globe story, losing my dad, leaving law school, my life falling apart, putting it back together,
00:18you know, bit by bit. You know, maybe that story from like the outside looking in,
00:22you know, it's just a girl putting her life back together. But I found that that story and
00:27my perspective on it was so unique. And I noticed that when I first started off with social media,
00:33I was on TikTok and I would just make, you know, morning routines, like aesthetic morning
00:37routines with music. And I was talking to a social media strategist and I was like,
00:41I feel like I'm plateauing, like, I don't know. And she was like, just try using your voice,
00:46try and using your story. So I honestly just started picking up the camera and just starting
00:50talking to the camera. And you would be surprised at that vulnerability and that authenticity,
00:56how my social media skyrocketed. And I would argue that that would work with whatever you're
01:01doing. If you remain authentic, if you remain to yourself, then whatever you put your passion in
01:07and using that vulnerability, whatever you do will, like, skyrocket. And I've seen it. I've
01:12seen it happen. And I would argue that I wouldn't be where I'm at today if I wasn't authentic,
01:18if I wasn't vulnerable every single day. Social media will tear you apart. But I've also found
01:24that it will also put you back together. I think my community brings me up a lot. And I think it's
01:28through that vulnerability, it's through their vulnerability that I gain a lot of strength.
