In this episode of Living Dvnly, I’m reflecting on what it’s been like building an online presence since I was 21, before I had the language, clarity, or confidence I hold now. I open up about why I’m actually grateful I didn’t grow too fast, the sacredness of slow expansion, and how I’ve stayed rooted through years of evolution, doubt, and comparison.

This conversation is a love letter to every version of me who showed up before she felt ready and an invitation to you to honor your own process. If you’ve ever felt behind, invisible, or uncertain about your path, I hope this reminds you: you’re right on time.
