Hey there. Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how we’ve outgrown the idea of niche. In a world where everything moves so fast and attention spans are shorter than ever, we’re supposed to reduce ourselves down to one interest or identity. But we’re layered. We are not meant to be boxed in. I don’t think people want one-dimensional content or one-dimensional lives anymore. I think we’re craving honesty, complexity, and connection.
I’ve always had a lot of things I want to talk about. Sometimes I do that through different accounts and platforms. But at the core, I always come back to the same themes. Loving yourself. Building your life from the inside/out. Living in alignment. All of that starts with being connected to who you are and not chasing approval from other people. That chase never works. It never brings real peace. But when you know who you are, you stop needing that external validation. You start doing things that matter to you because they matter to you.
I know people push this idea of discipline and grit. They’ll say you have to do what you don’t want to do. But I don’t buy into that. I think it drains people. It pulls them into a mental tug of war. Instead, I want people to build lives and routines that they enjoy. I want fitness and food and self-care to be things you look forward to. That’s sustainable. That’s how you make progress that lasts.
I also want to keep pushing the conversation around men and emotions. We’re not supposed to be silent. We’re not supposed to bottle everything up. That approach has done a lot of damage. So if you’re a guy reading this, here’s the challenge. Every day, tell someone how you feel. Every day, check in on someone else. Just doing that can create massive shifts. It helps you open up and it helps others feel seen.
All of this goes back to living a life that’s layered and real. I don’t want to be someone who only talks about one thing. I want to talk about the things that matter. I want to show you what it looks like to build from the inside/out. If you’ve ever felt like you had to pick one part of yourself and ignore the rest, I hope this helps you step into your full story.
