onto today’s topic: climb cringe mountain 🏔️ 

every time i hit post on linkedin i cringe internally.

but, growth is growth, and i’m allowed be proud of trying to grow something i feel passionate about (this blog).

to achieve success (especially when it comes to building an audience), you need to climb the cringe mountain. everyone will watch you stumble during the summit, ask for help in carrying your weight, and take breaks when you need them, and that will feel extremely uncomfortable and cringe. 😬 

you might have to follow trends and post content that makes you want to punch yourself from the corniness, but sometimes that’s the necessary step in finding your edge or stride. the cringe will never go away — you’ll definitely wince at some of those moments, but you won’t regret it once you make it over the mountain and keep at it. growing this blog is my cringe mountain right now. :)

make a fool out of yourself, because you’d be a bigger fool not to try. 🫵 

every single time you pull away from doing something you believe in because it might make you look corny or embarrassing you hand your potential over to fear.

let’s summit cringe mountain together?
