# I’ve seen what my life looks like when I create, and when I don’t. So I am going to keep creating.

**I WROTE A** [**BOOK**](https://selar.com/5z64857nb3)**!**

Yes, you read that right.

Even Daniel from last year would probably look at me sideways if he saw the life I’ve lived so far. What a privilege it is to be overwhelmed by a life I once prayed for.

Last year alone, I made figure$ working with incredible brands, spoke on stages and in rooms I never imagined being in, received opportunities I didn’t even apply for, built a product now used by over 6,500 people (oh, you haven’t heard of Provolo?!), and grew a community around it.

This year, I also had my first international speaking event, something younger me probably wouldn’t have believed was possible. Standing in a room outside my home country and sharing my ideas was one of those quiet “wow, look how far you’ve come” moments.

I also survived one of the wildest health seasons I’ve experienced in years. Fam, that one was something else 😂

And the funny thing? All of this happened while I was still trying to figure out what I actually want to do with my life. (Still figuring it out, by the way.)

**2026** has been one for the books. It stretched me, broke patterns I had carried for years, and forced me to meet myself in a completely different way.

I recently wrapped up my second degree with a Second Class Upper honors, while balancing freelancing, building businesses, and trying to keep up with everything life was throwing at me.

But here’s the part I haven’t really talked about.

These past few months, I went quiet because, honestly, life felt like it was closing in on me.

I set my goals so high that I burnt myself out. I lost my sense of direction, became overly cynical, and started feeling disconnected from the things I once enjoyed, but hey, nobody said it was going to be easy, no?

So I did something I rarely allow myself to do.

I stopped.

I took a break.

And 6 months later, I’m so glad I did.

I feel lighter. I’ve had time to explore life outside of just chasing achievements. I’ve been on a fitness journey, reading more (7 books down this year 📚), learning a new language, moving to a new state, spending more time with friends, and actually enjoying being present.

For the first time in a long time, I feel like I’m getting to know myself again.

So no, this isn’t an “OH, I’M BACK” post.

This is me finding my rhythm again and letting the people who care know that I’m okay.

I’m grateful. For the wins, the setbacks, the burnout, the pause, and everything in between.

Every season taught me something I couldn’t have learned any other way.

And the crazy part?

I genuinely feel like I’m just getting started.

To everyone who checked in, prayed for me, sent a message, or simply stayed around quietly, thank you.

The next chapter is going to be a good one. 🤍
