Dear Ones,
Today is this kinda day:
I consulted with Visa this week about my “creator positioning” and had numerous breakthroughs. He advised that I share my own growth as content, so the doses of insights will come through in my tweets and such in the coming months.
For now, one major realization is to embrace my inner conflicts /shadow work and incorporating them into content, instead of avoiding them or seeing them as “something to sort out myself, on the side.”
One execution is sharing my journal entry on Twitter (with appropriate levels of vulnerability censoring):
I know, it seems so simple and obvious! But it’s something that I’ve been struggling with even admitting to you, reader. That all I want to do is figure myself out and be paid for it somehow. I tend to swing between mental nodes labeled “This seems too good to be true, who gets paid to figure themselves out in public?!” and “Who does this?? Have you completely lost your mind and is this a weird form of exhibitionism??” and the kicker, “why aren’t you being the best at sharing your life and getting paid yet??”
But I genuinely think that this is my bizarre life’s purpose right now. Because for me to be effective in helping others, I need to make sure that I’m not the blind-leading-the-blind and do my best in introspection. Only with this orientation, will the products I build and ways to help others be coming from a deep place of understanding the human condition.
On the upside, I do feel the best I’ve ever felt creatively and am building constantly. Still working on being better about marketing/distributing what I’ve built though! So letting you know…
What I built this week:
What I’m building next week:
Making videos on Medicare’s Donut Hole with Christine (I know, what an intriguing combination of words right?? Sadly it’s about a coverage gap…)
Writing Debug Your Meditation
Visa had said it’s ok (and encouraged) for me to share his methodology in helping other creators, so I’d love to hear from you if you want some help figuring your creator self out! Friendly, ambitious nerds unite!
Warm Wishes,
Christin
I'm here for it! " That all I want to do is figure myself out and be paid for it somehow."
Hmmmmm the creator self is a very slippery beast...but the output level you have going on is 🔥
