It's nice to know what i've been fighting with all these years. why my creative process with youtube has always been slow. I'm not upset or angry. I'm informed and i'm really happy about it. Now i take more direct steps to improve my work flow and get more things done with my youtube channel. Super excited to be jumping back into the game soon!

One video and now packed with coaching calls. You go! So proud! Woohooo!!! @Dee Dee Paradis

@Eric Kootte Boom! Awesome job! It just keeps growing....woohoo!

I have seen the video from @Mike Bayer And I can say to it "BEST ADVICE EVER" Yes Mike - the Algorythmus lie. This hits hard—and it’s true. When the algorithm becomes the goal, creativity turns into compliance. You start chasing spikes instead of meaning, and that’s where joy quietly disappears. Daniel Pink’s Motivation 3.0 is such an important lens here: purpose, autonomy, and mastery don’t thrive under a constant “perform or vanish” system. The algorithm is a tool, not a compass—and when creators confuse the two, burnout is almost inevitable. Real impact isn’t always measurable in clicks, but it’s felt in the people you actually reach. This is a much-needed reminder to build from purpose first, metrics second.

I’ve been a bit intentionally quiet lately and wanted to share why. I took a short step back to refuel and reset before rolling into the new year. Between creating, learning, posting, and trying to stay consistent on YouTube, it felt important to slow things down for a moment instead of pushing through on empty. That pause helped me come back with a clearer head and a better sense of how I want to move forward with my content. Still focused on improving bit by bit and enjoying the process rather than rushing it. Heading into the new year feeling grounded, motivated, and ready to keep building, one video at a time. Wishing everyone here a strong start and steady momentum as we all keep going.
