  • I Did It Y'all! Finally Releasing YT Content!

    Hey, hey! This week's episode is a little different! After saying for some time now that I'd be doing BGSC videos on Youtube, I've recorded my first real video. This process is absolutely not comfortable for me but I want to show you that it's possible to follow your purpose even when it feels scary to put yourself out there.

    In this weeks episode, which is audio from the YT video, I'm reintroducing myself, sharing my thoughts on how money does NOT motivate me as I walk in my purpose, and how there are times that even though on the outside appearances can be one thing, on the inside they can be COMPLETELY different.
