Throwing it back to this event in 2019 and just reminiscing.

One thing that’s become really clear to me is that I want to be far more intentional about building community and sharing what I’m learning along the way.

I don’t have all the answers — and I’m okay with that. I don’t believe you have to reach a final destination before you start sharing or carrying people along. I also don’t believe in gatekeeping.

I believe the journey is the most vital part. The learning, the mistakes, the pivots, the growth in real time.

My calling is to empower others, not from a place of perfection, but from honesty and progress. To share where I’m at right now, and open up access so more people can see what’s possible for them too.

This year feels like the beginning of that. 🤍

China honestly shocked me in ways I didn’t expect.

From trains that feel better than flights,
to nails that cost less than lunch,
to yogurt you DRINK with a straw,
to literal pet airport terminals…

Everything felt advanced, clean, efficient —
and then BOOM… a latrine.

I loved it.
I was confused.
I was impressed.
I was humbled.

China said: “You think you’ve seen things?” 😂

Which one shocked you the most —
