Do you struggle to step outside your comfort zone?
Here's a quick story about mine.
“Why don’t you go over there and pose between those two?” my friend points at the palm trees near the pool.
I smile awkwardly.
We’re in Spain, taking pictures of each other. His ex was a model and he’s obviously comfortable taking pictures of me.
I’m not.
The moment I decided to push past my anxiety.
I’m camera shy, especially when someone else is holding the lens. That’s why you haven’t seen many pictures of me here.
I go stand between the palm trees. He’s going out of his way to catch the right angle. At a certain point he’s lying on the ground, giving me directions.
He’s quite skilled because he’s doing all this while juggling two dogs on a leash. It’s hilarious.
I’ve always cringed at Instagram models endlessly posing. But this time I decided to push past my anxiety.
Me, posing like a real instagram model. 😆
Time to start putting myself out there
The pictures turned out quite nice.
“I’m going to post this one on my social media” I hear myself thinking. My stomach turns. My inner introvert empath panics : "Isn’t this too much?”
I decide it’s time for the next phase in my level-up journey and start putting myself out there.
Five years ago, in July 2020 I decided to level up my life.
Growth begins the moment you step outside your comfort zone

I was done feeling undervalued, drained and stuck.
I'm building my dream business while traveling
I was a people pleasing empath, done with feeling undervalued, drained and stuck. I wanted more.
So I did the inner work, started working out, and dressed for the life I wanted.
And here I am, five years later:
- I’m building my dream business while traveling
- My relationships have improved
- And yes — I’m even posing like an Instagram model 🙈
They say we overestimate what we can do in a year, but underestimate what we can do in five. I’m proof of that.
