    No. 30 / Connecting with People, Being Real, and Happy Alone

    No. 30 / Connecting with People, Being Real, and Happy Alone

    In the past I have thought about sharing about certain things many times, then I thought: “I don’t know how this will end, let’s wait and I’ll make the video later”. The “later” point never came and I regret not having shared in the moment.

    Now I am changing that! And with that, I am exploring a lot of thoughts that are on my mind right now in regards to being a creator and having the desire to make YouTube and the likes to my full-time income.

    In this episode I explore:


    Why am I shy?
    Why do I care what others think?
    That we need thick skin (and not just if you are a creator).
    Why having others to approve of me is not helpful.
    Being enough the way I am (even when alone).
    And realizing that I have a following that I should be real with.

    I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment section, vis Instagram, or on Telegram. Thank you for listening and being here ❤.

    No. 26 / Universal Base Income? Let's do it ourselves.

    The world is changing and evolving rapidly. We need new concepts. All that is true, but we also can’t wait for politics to change for us and provide the Universal Base Income. At least I am not waiting…
