Most creators don’t struggle because they aren’t capable.
They struggle because part of them is still holding back.
You can be posting consistently.
You can be learning.
You can be “doing the work.”
And still not be fully all in.
Because your actions might say yes……but your inner dialogue, energy, and self-trust are quietly saying no.
Here’s the pattern I see over and over:
We were taught to distrust ourselves.
To override intuition with logic.
To look outside ourselves for permission, certainty, and validation.
That conditioning doesn’t just affect YouTube.
It affects your creativity.
Your confidence.
Your ability to lead.
Your willingness to be seen.
You cannot move forward fully if you don’t fully believe you’re allowed to.
One small practice I want to give you today (no fixing, no forcing):
Sit still for a moment.
Take one deep breath.
Say to yourself: “I’m not ready yet.”
Don’t analyze it. Just notice your body.
Does your chest expand or tighten?
Does your breath deepen or shorten?
Do you lean forward or pull back?
Now simply name it: “This thought feels expansive” or “This thought feels contracting.”
Now try: “This is the direction I’m meant to go.”
Notice again. Name it.
Your body already knows the truth.
Your mind just likes to argue with it.
If you start listening here — even in this small way — you stop abandoning yourself.And everything begins to shift from that point forward.
Try this with your next video idea...does it feel expansive or contracting?
I’d love to know: What did you notice when you tried this? Expansive or contracting?
