I’ve officially started a YouTube channel — literally from scratch (like… 12 subscribers kind of scratch 😂). I’ve been wanting to do this for ages but kept overthinking it, so I just decided to start messy and figure it out as I go. I’m going to be sharing more behind-the-scenes of building the business, mindset stuff, and just being a bit more honest/unfiltered over there. It feels a bit scary putting myself out like that tbh, but also kinda exciting. Main reason I’m sharing this is because I want to actually model what I’m always telling you guys, you don’t need to have it all figured out before you start. You just need to start. If you’re also in that “I know I should be doing this but I keep putting it off” phase… this is your sign 😄 I’ll share the link below if you want to follow along with the journey, but no pressure at all — this is more about bringing you along for the ride than anything else! 🥳🙌 https://www.youtube.com/@itschloeosullivan

Thank you so much to everyone who joined this month’s Coffee & Connect! It was lovely chatting with you all. As promised, here are some of the resources we discussed around creating simple, authentic video content without feeling like everything needs to be perfectly scripted, filmed or edited.

There are some really useful tips here for speaking naturally on camera, filming in fewer takes, letting go of perfectionism and making video creation feel much easier. 🎥 Creating Better, More Natural Videos (in a world where people are already sick of AI) ** this one is AMAZING** - useful for content in GENERAL - not just youtube!
