THANK YOU! I pray success and longevity on all of us; aspiring content creator girlies that is still working that 9-5 waiting on our moment. Claim it boo, because it's ours. Stay blessed.
That’s definitely me. I started off at 121 Monday &’ now have 148 so I definitely see consistency is key even though I work 9-5. I appreciate this video and your encouraging words 💕

This video blessed me. I have been pushing for a long time, but, in 2024, it’s up!! I have a PhD, so, I have to figure content creation out! 😭😭😭😭 God bless you, Shay-you are needed in this space. We appreciate you being relatable, honest and authentic!❤
It's my pleasure sis! If you can put in the work to get a whole PhD, then you can definitely make content! lol Stop playin with your potential and make 2024 your best year!
I’m cheering you on 🎉 I am also going to be authentic to my calling me my uniqueness and share to inspire that’s my calling. I didn’t connect the fact it’s influencing as it has always been.
I needed this. I’m a gym girl, and a hair girlie and i get asked ALL THE TIME about my hair, i make hair oils for my homegirls…but im 36 and i struggle to put myself “out there” i def needed to hear this. I don’t want to be an influencer per se, but i wanna document the stuff i do bc it’s lit! And i wanna share. ❤
It’s me sitting at work right now learning a new system! Training myself!! 😂 this video resonated with me so much! I need to be as consistent with my content as I am with my 9-5!! Thank you for this video! ❤️
Yesss sis...this was right on time...i just got monetized a couple of weeks ago...im trying to stay consistent to do what i love!! Im still working my 9to5
Thank you girl i just started following you . i have been thinking about this for months and i finally got the push .. i opened up youtube today and God put this video in front of me to see
This video is what I needed!! I have a doctorate degree in nursing, nurse practitioner, own a medical clinic, started a life coach business with the goal of helping people grow, a VP of a nonprofit youth mentorship program, and getting my real estate license. This video make me just made just gave me so much inspiration for serial entrepreneurship content because that is what I know how to do ❤🎉. Thank you 🫶🏾🙏🏾
23:35 FACTS! Believe in yourself, make great content and be consistent cause when that one video pop off?! WOO That catalog gon do numbers! Great video!
I literally love her and watched her grow into the content creator she is today, it has been beautiful and so motivating to watch! Thank you Shay for always being so genuine and humble
loved this video!! just have to saw this video is 3 months old & you were at 189k ig followers and now, girl - you are at 427k 🔥🔥🔥 so awesome! Def sticking around mama - loved your vibe
Great Video. I took a leap of faith and started RUclips last December and I’ve gotten paid collaborations as a small RUclipsr. I can just imagine when I start showing up consistently how much I can grow and earn. Just start guys, you would be amazed at who is inspired by you ❤
You’re absolutely right. I’ve just started my channel and wish I’ve started years ago! I’m 4 months in with 75 subscribers and counting. I’m in my learning zone .
This is really motivating. I am a social worker full-time and a single mom of three. It is hard to create content at times, but I decided 1year ago to push content every week and it has helped my channel grow. Praise God for what you do, you are helping a lot of people.
This video was everything! IK it went over some heads lol, but definitely needed to hear this and would love to know how you were able to monetize your content!
Thank you for this video! ❤ My channel is small and I already have brands reaching out to me. I start communication with them and then I don't go through with the contracts because deep down inside I don't think I'm worthy.....BUT I am! Why would they be reaching out? 2024, I'm getting this bag for all it's worth.
I love the phrase of Activate the Delusion😅 I need to add that to my goals next year 😂😂 Delulu all 2024 I really been in my feels about my views not being as high as I want them to be. I really care way too much about what these people think on the Internet 😂😂
Out of all the “How To” videos I’ve seen.. and trust me it’s been many. This one here is personal. I felt like I was on a 1:1 call with you. I have so much abandon content, Oh can’t forget the $100 intro I invested in just sitting in my files. This video gave me strength and courage to stand on what I started. Thank you, the value in this video is really appreciated. New subbbbie here 🥰🥰
Shiii. Your whole video is just ✨ first of all, but I’m @ 20:54 rn and honey lemme just tell you… PREACH!!! Keepin’ it so real and this is what everyone needs to hear. Not just content creators, but the whole damn world. SPICIEST advice ever. People need to eat this hard to digest advice and swallow it. Mahalo tita for dis GOLD
Sis, let me say thank you for this video. I been a creator for 8 years on and off I just started taking my self very seriously in the summer we needed a big sister to give it to us for real. I’m a lifestyle creator am a mom of four boys so staying consistent was hard but I’m making time now. Everything you say is so right thank you. I’m a small creator who genuinely want to grow my following and this has help me. You have gain my follow on all your platforms I don’t wanna miss your content
First of all, carrying...birthing...AND raising 4 humans is enough to make anyone wanna QUIT content 😂 So I seriously applaud you for even being off and on with this journey. It ain't no joke with my 1 toddler, so my heart goes out to you as you navigate trying to balance it all. But one thing I know is that it's possible...literally all of your biggest dreams are minuscule tasks to God! He gives us strength we never knew we had. Lean on Him and also hold yourself accountable. Your breakthrough is on the other side of consistency🙌🏽💰
First, I love you. Second, stop yelling at me ok because the way you are readdddddddddiiinnnggg my entire life right now is so characteristic of us brilliant and creative millennials who are making excuses. Third, thank you ❤️❤️😩
When I tell u I just sat here and watched this video twice and let you get me all the way together 👏🏽👏🏽. I need a friend like you. Thank you. ❤❤ Just subscribed.
You’re always dropping the gems 💎 ! I can’t get out of my head. Imposter Syndrome is REAL over here. The analysis paralysis is also a thing with me. I literally do everything you said about that topic. I feel so seen!! I commented on your video from last year and I’m still on the same mindset! I pray in 2024 I can get out of my own way! Update: I came back to say YOU AINT HAVE TO READ ME FOR FILTH LIKE THAT! But I get it, and I hear you. Thank you!
GOD BLESS YOU FOR THE ENCOURAGING WORK YOUR DOING. So many ppl are watching you right now who’s thanking you to overcome or building their confident to make that move.
Whew! You can just feel God all over this video. I always love watching your content because it makes me feel beautiful and gives me hope of an amazing future as a wife and mom. I couldn’t hold back the tears listening to this. Thank you for sharing ❤
Thank you so much for saying this! I’ve had people legit come up and ask to take pictures of me and with me, and I don’t even have a real Instagram page. I’m kinda nervous about people watching me who I don’t know but I just gotta get over it 🤷🏽♀️
Shayyyy ! Everything resonated. This was like a Masterclass, I was taking notes, pausing the video and doing the homework as classwork while watching. I had to go watch part 1 again and then watch this one in full to get the fullllll experience. I won't give up on my creator dreams.
Excited to have you in class sis! You got this. Do not....I repeat....DO NOT give up. Imagine where you'll be at the end of 2024 if you get serious about your content✍🏽💰
Girlllllll - you said the girls have a trash bloodline! This has been my biggest fear in the past, being *seen or judged by others. This is the best RUclips video I’ve seen in YEARS.. thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! 💕I just got engaged, got my dream job, I’m at a great spot in my life and I think it could be a great time to start content creation! Now I just need to stop feeling so shy in front of a camera 😂
“They come from a bloodline of haters” Okay Shay IKDR! I’ve been following you on IG for a while, & now I’m just starting my RUclips channel. This is what I needed to hear 💅🏾
Thank you for the insight! I am a stay at home wife and considered creating content for several years but was afraid. So many questions popped into my head. After seeing your video, I am planning on creating content. So thank you and I enjoy watching your videos!
This is my first time watching a video of yours and I have to say the way that you are breaking things down is great! I have already began my RUclips/influencer journey but we can never stop learning. So thank you for this video and I definitely subscribed. ❤
Girl ! I’m a new RUclipsr and I noticed you’re 2 subbies away from 100 subscribers to help you get there , I’ve just subscribed! Congratulations to you! t
That second question and that third person vent really took me out the imposter syndrome question made me cry and emotional cause, I felt like it was something I can't get over and the paralysis. Whatever it's called lol made me giggle because I didn't even know that that was even a thing or that's what I was doing! I know this video over an hour long. But I swear I'm going to watch it multiple times. It's some of the most helpful RELATABLE information I received in years, and I've been wanting to create content for years. But have been stuck for those 3 very things. Thanks you 🙏🏾
I feel SEEN!!! I see myself in several of points you made. Analysis Paralysis is a new term for ME that puts all of what I deal with in a nutshell. 🤦🏽♀️Thank you for this needed motivation 🙏🏽
Revamping my channel and getting back to it. I have a whole new aesthetic now and direction I want to go in. So glad i found you, I needed this video. Getting a mic for my new camera and gett to the bag!!!
I so needed this!!! I truly desire to create and push content out…I made my 1st GRWM reel a few weeks ago and I almost threw up after I posted it lol! After seeing this video, I’m definitely motivated to keep going!! Thank you, Shay (from a fellow Millennial ‘89 baby) ❤️❤️
This is factual. I went viral on TikTok and Instagram in the mist of battling imposter syndrome and depression of my approaching my 30th birthday. I had a lot of old content but no consistency. I experienced a lot of negativity and I lost my drive. This was almost two years ago. I’m currently building my content creation and SMM agency for small businesses owners and my content creator business from the ground up. 🎉 I’m determined to build something great for myself.
Can you talk about when you decided to go back to your job in 2021 and then pivot back to entrepreneurship? A lot of people don't talk about about the ups and downs and how its okay to go back to a job to prepare you into business full time again
The “imposter” syndrome definitely resonated with me! I always think “why would anyone want to learn anything from me?” “ what would make my content so special that people would actually want to watch it?” I drive myself crazy sometimes! But I am willing to put the work in and make myself interesting. And the “niche” that I’m choosing to focus on is really popular and always will be. It’s time to just get started ✨ I am buying a camera because my phone sucks 🤣 the camera quality is not good.
So this video was meaningful for so many reasons. I am a licensed therapist and I too worked in Education as a School Counselor during the pandemic but I left (not my jam) lol but I also maintain a private therapy practice but have been trying to transition into content creation for yeaaarrrsss. While I do have a platform of over 100k on tiktok, I have not been able to grow my RUclips after 8 years. I’m praying this year is my year! This video highlighted so many things for me and is motivating me to sit down and restrategize ❤
You see that analysis paralysis thing, it's a big issue and you're absolutely right. Better to act than spend those hours researching, not that researching is not important but sometimes you become so tired or even discouraged by the time you're done researching. And the part you talked about doing a 9-5 building another man's dream, spending your time and building your skills to build another man's dream but making excuses when it comes to building your dream and working on your passion! That one hit me👏👏👏
New subscriber here ! I’ve been following you on IG already . I’m a content creator as well with a 9-5. It’s no joke, but so rewarding ! I’m looking forward to doing this full time and getting out of my own way ❤️ thanks so much for sharing !
Yess im a smaller youtuber with a 9to5 as well, so staying consistent is a little hard but I have been bc I've been pushing myself bc I feel youtube is what I want to do...let me head to your channel sis
i love it here shay your video was everything your explanation was on point. As an aspiring content creator am trying to fine my nesh and you have helped with that thank you. fear is my biggest obstacle but am pushing forward in 2024.❤
Lord you popped up on my feed for a reason. I been on this journey for a few years( started at 21-22 stopped and started applying pressure at 26 now28. I def needed to hear the first few minutes cause ppl ask me for advice on makeup hair nails and fashion . Def have influence ( I’ve watched ppl copy my captions, my lifestyle ( diets. Career. Hobbies. Etc). And ppl trust me .
Ive been bineging on your videos the last 2 days and omg you are so helpeful, authentic and of course beautiful! You've helped me massively, ive got this video on repeat! Please dont stop been "long winded" as you say, I need that! Your a God sent ❤
Literally right now I am discouraged as hell and I've been planning my RUclips channel in my head and barely on a journal and started recording recently and a situation happened and I have gotten discouraged I'm not really like even a minute into the video but I'm reading the comments so I'm excited to sit here and just listen to you thank you for your time ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! I really needed to hear this. I recently started my channel (literally 15 subscribers). I started to self doubt because I know I’m not getting the support I had expected from friends and family. Mind you I have a huge family aside from friends. This gave me the encouragement I needed today to say keep pushing forward, you got this! Keep being a positive voice!
I can’t believe that I just watched a full one hour video on RUclips for the first time in my life. Lol. And I took notes lol As you mentioned in the video, I started during the pandemic as well and once I hit around 35k followers on TikTok, I fell off, and I have been having a hard time getting back on every sense, but now I feel like I’m more ready than ever after going through a lot of things that are directly in alignment with my niche. Thank you thank you thank you so much for this. you’re beautiful and amazing and I look forward to more of your content as well!!
This is my first time coming across your content and THIS VIDEO spoke to me on so many different levels. From being in my own head to being in school for something I don’t even want to do. I’m going to rewatch this video EVERYTIME I get discouraged because 2024 will be my year of content creation. I look forward to the algorithm video. Thank you!!!!🥰
Girllllll 😂😂😂😂 u had me SHOUTING! Ok bc it GAAAVE a WORD! I never seen ur content before but when I TELL YOUUUU I was subscribed halfway thru this vid! Bc the way u READ ALL THE GWORLS (by gworls I mean ME) whew! God knew this is exactly what I needed at this present moment as I fully transition into the consistency that analysis paralyses anxiety fear the enemy etc kept me from… got me TOgeeeetherrr and I DONT think u took a breath which btw I LOVE 😂 srsly SO important for these constructs to be ripped to shreds & us to stop embracing them ! THANK YOU! Now cheers to MORE CONTENT 🎉
I finally started my youtube channel after 10 years of analysis paralysis so its a real thing!! 😳 This video needs to be watched by anyone that's ever been thinking about content creation. She said it all. 👏 Hesitators, do like Nike and Just Do It !!!!
Girlll you draped me by my shirt. I love this video, I just recently came across your channel from watching your shorts. Keep doing what you are doing this was so inspiring.
That comment about being delulu is everything. I need to get back on it because I feel it in my soul that my content will blow up one day ❤🎉 life was lifing (excuses) and I stopped producing videos regularly but I’m feeling inspired and want to back on top of it!
I cannot tell you how many times I watched the “they mama a hater, they grandma a hater, they aunties are haters…trash blood line” 😂 I felt that deep in my spirit lol. Love watching your videos and hearing from you. Can you make a video on getting monetized on RUclips please?
Fellow previous school counselor and content creator here! Loved this video and definitely have those moments when the counselor in me comes out! 😂 it’s just in us to preach. Would love to see the deep dive on analytics!
Before I say anything else... THANK YOU! There is so much value and power in this video. I am not even halfway through and already got so much out of this. My biggest struggle right now is showing up confident on camera, also afraid of showing up "too professional" or careful in my speech holding back my true personality (it takes me a bit to come out of my shell in real life too) any tips on that subject? You are doing an amazing job with the series BTW, your first video on this topic is how I found you!❤
Thank you so much for watching love! I will continue my series in this☺️ And I think you should start practicing by recording yourself talking for at least 5-10 minutes a day! Even if you don't post, you will get into the habit of speaking and it'll loosen you up so your personality will show! Also did you know you can go live on IG as a practice? There's an option for you to press the button to start but there won't be an audience. I suggest that too!🤞🏽
@shaynicolexo I did not know! Thank you! I will definitely start my daily practice, that's a great tip. I will be staying tuned in for more! I also love what you are doing out here with your content in general but especially by helping uplift others like me 😊.
This video just slapped me right where I needed to be slapped, I need help with the strategic planning I'm growing my Insurance business and you named everything I've been experiencing especially analysis paralysis, whew!
It’s so nice to meet you and share in your lifestyle. I am also a therapist and would like to request a long form video from you on changing careers. ❤ I would like to thank you 🙏🏽 for being someone who encourages others to learn ❤and share their creative gifts. Sending love to you and your family be blessed always.
THANK YOU! I pray success and longevity on all of us; aspiring content creator girlies that is still working that 9-5 waiting on our moment. Claim it boo, because it's ours. Stay blessed.
Yessssssss🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
That’s definitely me. I started off at 121 Monday &’ now have 148 so I definitely see consistency is key even though I work 9-5. I appreciate this video and your encouraging words 💕

Girl, I’m new to YT as well! I believe in supporting one another and in doing so, I’ve just subscribed to your channel. You’ve got this!
Thank you so much 🥹🙏🏽 I want all yall to get the life you deserve. It's coming ❤
Thank you so much for saying this! I’ve had people legit come up and ask to take pictures of me and with me, and I don’t even have a real Instagram page. I’m kinda nervous about people watching me who I don’t know but I just gotta get over it 🤷🏽♀️
I needed this video! THANK YOU 💜
H-Town Thrift Queen here. Thanks for taking the time to create this video for us and sharing your expertise
Hey beautiful! It's my pleasure to help, and thank you for supporting!❤
it's the first line that got me, "I wanna work smarter not harder" helloooo! all ears!!
Shayyyy ! Everything resonated. This was like a Masterclass, I was taking notes, pausing the video and doing the homework as classwork while watching. I had to go watch part 1 again and then watch this one in full to get the fullllll experience. I won't give up on my creator dreams.
Excited to have you in class sis! You got this. Do not....I repeat....DO NOT give up. Imagine where you'll be at the end of 2024 if you get serious about your content✍🏽💰
I did the same thing.
Girlllllll - you said the girls have a trash bloodline! This has been my biggest fear in the past, being *seen or judged by others. This is the best RUclips video I’ve seen in YEARS.. thank you, thank you, thank you!
Honey! You preached a whole sermon! I need to take action today ❤
You are the FIRST person that I have heard that explained WHY you need to post a lot! THANK YOU!
i really like your idea about having a catalog/library for viewers to fall back on. makes me feel like "stay ready so you don't have to get ready"!
Thank you so much for this video! 💕I just got engaged, got my dream job, I’m at a great spot in my life and I think it could be a great time to start content creation! Now I just need to stop feeling so shy in front of a camera 😂
Girl. I’m not even a content creator but this came up in my algorithm and now I feel like I should consider it bc You👏🏾 Did👏🏾That👏🏾.
This was needed! I have wrestling with ideas but really struggling with courage and self sabotage. After this video, I'm ready!
Go for it! We're rooting for you!!!
“They come from a bloodline of haters” Okay Shay IKDR! I’ve been following you on IG for a while, & now I’m just starting my RUclips channel. This is what I needed to hear 💅🏾
Whew girl that rundown was good. I see why you were a counselor. It's a natural ability.
Thank you for the insight! I am a stay at home wife and considered creating content for several years but was afraid. So many questions popped into my head. After seeing your video, I am planning on creating content. So thank you and I enjoy watching your videos!
This is my first time watching a video of yours and I have to say the way that you are breaking things down is great! I have already began my RUclips/influencer journey but we can never stop learning. So thank you for this video and I definitely subscribed. ❤
Girl ! I’m a new RUclipsr and I noticed you’re 2 subbies away from 100 subscribers to help you get there , I’ve just subscribed! Congratulations to you! t
Thanks so much for watching, I am here to help yall grow. Excited to see you flourish and grow your brand!❤
🫶🏽❤️
This is the ONE! So much “girl, get your life together” in one hour! The video I KNEW I needed.
40:56 you just put us in our place lol we needed this sis
That second question and that third person vent really took me out the imposter syndrome question made me cry and emotional cause, I felt like it was something I can't get over and the paralysis. Whatever it's called lol made me giggle because I didn't even know that that was even a thing or that's what I was doing! I know this video over an hour long. But I swear I'm going to watch it multiple times. It's some of the most helpful RELATABLE information I received in years, and I've been wanting to create content for years. But have been stuck for those 3 very things. Thanks you 🙏🏾
Girl, your video addressed all of my fears!! Thank you so much for the motivation.
We are such the same when it comes to the lighting! You’ll hear me talk about that on my videos alllll the time! So this is so real! ❤
I feel SEEN!!! I see myself in several of points you made. Analysis Paralysis is a new term for ME that puts all of what I deal with in a nutshell. 🤦🏽♀️Thank you for this needed motivation 🙏🏽
Same!! I needed it to be named.
Revamping my channel and getting back to it. I have a whole new aesthetic now and direction I want to go in. So glad i found you, I needed this video. Getting a mic for my new camera and gett to the bag!!!
I so needed this!!! I truly desire to create and push content out…I made my 1st GRWM reel a few weeks ago and I almost threw up after I posted it lol! After seeing this video, I’m definitely motivated to keep going!! Thank you, Shay (from a fellow Millennial ‘89 baby) ❤️❤️
This is factual. I went viral on TikTok and Instagram in the mist of battling imposter syndrome and depression of my approaching my 30th birthday. I had a lot of old content but no consistency. I experienced a lot of negativity and I lost my drive. This was almost two years ago. I’m currently building my content creation and SMM agency for small businesses owners and my content creator business from the ground up. 🎉 I’m determined to build something great for myself.
You just encouraged me soooo much! You are def a teacher and a preacher. Thank you for shutting down the imposter syndrome thoughts and sharing!
“Smarter not harder” exactly 🎯
Everything you said about analysis paralysis is on point!! It’s real yall it’s real…this video was so needed and on time!! Thank you girl. ❤
You just put a fire 🔥 under me. So many ppl have told me I should be doing RUclips for years but I was so scared about so much. So thank you for this.
Can you talk about when you decided to go back to your job in 2021 and then pivot back to entrepreneurship? A lot of people don't talk about about the ups and downs and how its okay to go back to a job to prepare you into business full time again
You just blessed me and read me for filth in the same breath! 😂💕 Xoxo
The “imposter” syndrome definitely resonated with me! I always think “why would anyone want to learn anything from me?” “ what would make my content so special that people would actually want to watch it?” I drive myself crazy sometimes! But I am willing to put the work in and make myself interesting. And the “niche” that I’m choosing to focus on is really popular and always will be. It’s time to just get started ✨ I am buying a camera because my phone sucks 🤣 the camera quality is not good.
So this video was meaningful for so many reasons. I am a licensed therapist and I too worked in Education as a School Counselor during the pandemic but I left (not my jam) lol but I also maintain a private therapy practice but have been trying to transition into content creation for yeaaarrrsss. While I do have a platform of over 100k on tiktok, I have not been able to grow my RUclips after 8 years. I’m praying this year is my year! This video highlighted so many things for me and is motivating me to sit down and restrategize ❤
You see that analysis paralysis thing, it's a big issue and you're absolutely right. Better to act than spend those hours researching, not that researching is not important but sometimes you become so tired or even discouraged by the time you're done researching. And the part you talked about doing a 9-5 building another man's dream, spending your time and building your skills to build another man's dream but making excuses when it comes to building your dream and working on your passion! That one hit me👏👏👏
New subscriber here ! I’ve been following you on IG already . I’m a content creator as well with a 9-5. It’s no joke, but so rewarding !
I’m looking forward to doing this full time and getting out of my own way ❤️ thanks so much for sharing !
Yess im a smaller youtuber with a 9to5 as well, so staying consistent is a little hard but I have been bc I've been pushing myself bc I feel youtube is what I want to do...let me head to your channel sis
Yesssss it's time for you to zone in on your brand! 2024 could definitely be the year you go full-time working for yourself! 🙌🏽💰👩🏽💻
@shaynicolexo aww thank you sis!! I am claiming it!! Keep doing what you do sis, keep inspiring others 👏 ✨️
i love it here shay your video was everything your explanation was on point. As an aspiring content creator am trying to fine my nesh and you have helped with that thank you. fear is my biggest obstacle but am pushing forward in 2024.❤
This was sooo good whew!!! Stepped on my neck for sure lol
Lord you popped up on my feed for a reason. I been on this journey for a few years( started at 21-22 stopped and started applying pressure at 26 now28.
I def needed to hear the first few minutes cause ppl ask me for advice on makeup hair nails and fashion . Def have influence ( I’ve watched ppl copy my captions, my lifestyle ( diets. Career. Hobbies. Etc). And ppl trust me .
Ive been bineging on your videos the last 2 days and omg you are so helpeful, authentic and of course beautiful! You've helped me massively, ive got this video on repeat! Please dont stop been "long winded" as you say, I need that! Your a God sent ❤
Ive never seen you before but this was the shortest hour ive ever spent in my life.
Literally right now I am discouraged as hell and I've been planning my RUclips channel in my head and barely on a journal and started recording recently and a situation happened and I have gotten discouraged I'm not really like even a minute into the video but I'm reading the comments so I'm excited to sit here and just listen to you thank you for your time ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! I really needed to hear this. I recently started my channel (literally 15 subscribers). I started to self doubt because I know I’m not getting the support I had expected from friends and family. Mind you I have a huge family aside from friends. This gave me the encouragement I needed today to say keep pushing forward, you got this! Keep being a positive voice!
Chillleeeeee, this is what I needed. Thank you 🙏🏾🔥🥂❤️
Analysis paralysis!! There’s a name to what I’ve been going through. WOWWWW
This the energy I needed in my life come on God with the answered prayer. 👌🏽♥️♥️♥️
Oh, I just found you, and you are calling me out 😊. Thank you!! I needed to hear this. New subscriber.❤
I can’t believe that I just watched a full one hour video on RUclips for the first time in my life. Lol. And I took notes lol As you mentioned in the video, I started during the pandemic as well and once I hit around 35k followers on TikTok, I fell off, and I have been having a hard time getting back on every sense, but now I feel like I’m more ready than ever after going through a lot of things that are directly in alignment with my niche. Thank you thank you thank you so much for this. you’re beautiful and amazing and I look forward to more of your content as well!!
This is my first time coming across your content and THIS VIDEO spoke to me on so many different levels. From being in my own head to being in school for something I don’t even want to do. I’m going to rewatch this video EVERYTIME I get discouraged because 2024 will be my year of content creation. I look forward to the algorithm video. Thank you!!!!🥰
Girllllll 😂😂😂😂 u had me SHOUTING! Ok bc it GAAAVE a WORD! I never seen ur content before but when I TELL YOUUUU I was subscribed halfway thru this vid! Bc the way u READ ALL THE GWORLS (by gworls I mean ME) whew! God knew this is exactly what I needed at this present moment as I fully transition into the consistency that analysis paralyses anxiety fear the enemy etc kept me from… got me TOgeeeetherrr and I DONT think u took a breath which btw I LOVE 😂 srsly SO important for these constructs to be ripped to shreds & us to stop embracing them ! THANK YOU! Now cheers to MORE CONTENT 🎉
Hey sis. I am an small RUclipsr and I am inlooove with your content. Thank you for being you
There's something about your voice it's almost like you're singing and that's what kept me watching it till the end 😅 lovely content ❤
I needed this, alllll of this. Every word! I needed the breakdowns, and i needed to be GATHERED ok!! Now let me get to my homework.
I finally started my youtube channel after 10 years of analysis paralysis so its a real thing!! 😳 This video needs to be watched by anyone that's ever been thinking about content creation. She said it all. 👏 Hesitators, do like Nike and Just Do It !!!!
Girlll you draped me by my shirt. I love this video, I just recently came across your channel from watching your shorts. Keep doing what you are doing this was so inspiring.
That comment about being delulu is everything. I need to get back on it because I feel it in my soul that my content will blow up one day ❤🎉 life was lifing (excuses) and I stopped producing videos regularly but I’m feeling inspired and want to back on top of it!
😂 I love how you said I need to activate more delusion ❤ this was a very good video Keep inspiring 💕
I cannot tell you how many times I watched the “they mama a hater, they grandma a hater, they aunties are haters…trash blood line” 😂 I felt that deep in my spirit lol. Love watching your videos and hearing from you. Can you make a video on getting monetized on RUclips please?
Fellow previous school counselor and content creator here! Loved this video and definitely have those moments when the counselor in me comes out! 😂 it’s just in us to preach.
Would love to see the deep dive on analytics!
We really can't help but to give a lil sermon every now n then😂 And yes I got y'all on those analytics soon!👩🏽💻

Before I say anything else... THANK YOU!
There is so much value and power in this video. I am not even halfway through and already got so much out of this. My biggest struggle right now is showing up confident on camera, also afraid of showing up "too professional" or careful in my speech holding back my true personality (it takes me a bit to come out of my shell in real life too) any tips on that subject?
You are doing an amazing job with the series BTW, your first video on this topic is how I found you!❤
Thank you so much for watching love! I will continue my series in this☺️ And I think you should start practicing by recording yourself talking for at least 5-10 minutes a day! Even if you don't post, you will get into the habit of speaking and it'll loosen you up so your personality will show! Also did you know you can go live on IG as a practice? There's an option for you to press the button to start but there won't be an audience. I suggest that too!🤞🏽
@shaynicolexo I did not know! Thank you! I will definitely start my daily practice, that's a great tip. I will be staying tuned in for more! I also love what you are doing out here with your content in general but especially by helping uplift others like me 😊.
OMG girl same !!! I cringe and think too much 😢
This video just slapped me right where I needed to be slapped, I need help with the strategic planning I'm growing my Insurance business and you named everything I've been experiencing especially analysis paralysis, whew!
One of your Good Girl Tribe here!! Loyal supporter and I receive the message sis. I will get out my own way and Just Start ❤
Girl!!! 34:28 had me rolling 😂 snacking....haha .....yes ma'am the paralysis rabbit hole is something serious....great video!
It’s so nice to meet you and share in your lifestyle. I am also a therapist and would like to request a long form video from you on changing careers. ❤ I would like to thank you 🙏🏽 for being someone who encourages others to learn ❤and share their creative gifts. Sending love to you and your family be blessed always.
Girl we don’t care about that light. I’m here for the information ❤
