About a year ago, I was a very different person.
I was depressed a lot. My mood was always up and down, and I was constantly anxious about my life.
But recently, I’ve been trying so many new things. I feel more motivated than I have in a long time.
And honestly, not everything is working.
A couple weeks ago, I heard about people making good money selling digital products. I thought, “Maybe I can do that too.”
So I asked myself what I could actually create with the experience I already have.
I decided to make a beginner’s guide for content creators.
I put everything I’ve learned into it, and I still believe there’s real value in that book.
But… this is a little embarrassing to admit.
I sold two copies.
Honestly, the first day hurt.
But after I thought about it, I realized something.
Most of you follow me because you like my life, my cooking, and who I am. Then suddenly I showed up trying to sell you a guide about becoming a content creator.
That was probably my biggest mistake.
I thought if the product was good enough, that would be enough.
But the biggest difference between me now and me a year ago is this:
A year ago, I probably would’ve had the idea, thought about it for months, wondered if I should do it… and maybe never started.
This time, I saw an idea, took action immediately, and launched something within two weeks.
Maybe it failed.
But I did it.
And I’m going to keep trying things. I believe if I keep moving, eventually something will work.
Lately, I’ve been saying that I’m doing well. And I am.
I’ve been showing you a happier version of myself because I really do feel happier.
But deep down, I’ve also been frustrated.
I’m working really hard, and sometimes the results just aren’t coming as fast as I want them to.
So today, I wanted to talk about that too.
A little more like I used to.
Thank you for always supporting me.
I honestly don’t think I would’ve become this positive without you guys.
Love you all.

Building Something of My Own Ep.1 — Launching My First Product��This is the first business I’ve ever started in my life.
I put a lot of what I’ve learned into this guide, and I truly believe there are a lot of things inside that can help someone who’s just getting started.
Thank you so much for always supporting me.
Because of all the love and encouragement I’ve received from you guys, I feel like I’ve slowly become someone who keeps moving forward, one step at a time, instead of stopping.
This is only the beginning, and I hope you’ll stay with me through this journey.
Thank you, always.
The guide is available through the link in my bio.

vs price comparison 👀

Not every item was an exact match in brand, size, or quality, so this isn’t a perfect apples-to-apples comparison.

For some items like whole brisket, I used Walmart’s online prices since availability can vary by store.

Both stores also carry different products, so honestly, shop wherever works best for you.

Just for fun — let’s see which one came out cheaper.

Sometimes dressing up makes me feel like a different version of myself.�
It makes me want to take better care of myself and live like the person I want to become.
Maybe you don’t always need a reason to dress up.�Sometimes
it’s just a good way to reset your mood.
So… maybe dress up a little today.
