How I'm Dealing with Haters and Trolls

In this video, I’m sharing something more personal. I’ve been wanting to be more transparent and “work out loud,” so I’m opening up about some of the negativity and "hate" I’ve experienced in the field.

It’s taken a big emotional toll on me over the years, but talking about it here is already helping me feel more connected to the community.

If you’ve been through something similar, I hope this resonates. Just know you’re not alone.

Thank you for being here and for for sharing the vision.
