Hi everyone! I’m Ronda—solo traveler, book designer, and midlife mentor. Nine years ago, I left the U.S. to travel the world full-time, and it completely transformed my life. Now at 62, I’m launching my YouTube channel, Midlife Rondavous, to share stories of solo travel, digital nomad life, and what reinvention really looks like in midlife. I’m here to connect, grow, and finally bring my voice to this next bold chapter. Excited to be part of this amazing community!

I'm not too sure whether I'll get a chance to take a photo of me and superimpose tape, so for now just an avatar. Title = Are EVS Really That Bad? 5 Myths Busted! 1. Red tape 2. Red tape with blurred background 3. Silver tape Note: These are drafts and not

It’s Friday — and that means it’s time to check in, not check out! :) Whether you had a productive week or feel like you barely moved the needle, I want to remind you of this: 👉 Progress is not always loud. Sometimes it’s the quiet consistency, the small decisions, the one post you made even when you didn’t feel “on”… that’s moving you forward. Don’t underestimate what you’re building — one step, one video, and one idea at a time. 👉 The gap between where you are and where you want to be is made up of daily courage. And you’ve shown it just by being here, showing up for yourself and your vision. So take a breath, reflect on one win from this week — big or small — and set one simple intention for the weekend. You’ve got this. Let’s finish the week strong, creators!!! xoxo Share below: What’s one thing you’re proud of this week? Let’s celebrate all forms of progress 💬👇

If you could instantly learn any skill, what would it be?

Okay, bit of a rant but also genuinely looking for advice here. I use a subscription-based music service specifically for copyright-free, royalty-free tracks—or I use CapCut Pro's stock music. So, in theory, I should be doing everything by the book, right? Any logical human being would assume they’re in the clear. But no. Right after uploading my video, boom -- copyright restriction notice. 😤 It’s not affecting my channel yet, but it definitely raises some red flags for the future. Has anyone else run into this? - Should I be filing a claim with CapCut? - Has anyone gone through the “Take Action” process via YouTube Studio? - Or maybe there’s a smarter workaround I’m missing entirely? I’m about to deep-dive into some research, but I figured I’d ping the community first... surely I’m not the only one this has happened to. Would love to hear what’s worked (or not worked) for you!
