    I can totally relate to this. I have all these beautiful ideas since 2018 and planned on doing a vlog or podcast for them. Every time I’m encouraged enough to start making videos, I immediately step back and ultimately not follow through. 😭

      Ahh I’m right there with you! Sometimes the more ideas we have, the more paralyzing it is to pick out the “perfect” one that we want to actually execute on and put out into the world! I’m rooting for you! Hope you can let go of any pressure you’re putting on yourself and just take one next step! ANY idea you put out into the world is worth sharing. ❤️

    Thank you for sharing Serena. I found your quarter-life crisis video about a year ago when I was going through my own (still am to a certain extent) and just resonated with your story. I just started my counseling program in seminary and desire to help others with trauma, addiction, and mental health battles. I also have been wanting to start my own UA-cam channel for 7 years now! I've been wanting to call it, "The Rhodes Less Traveled" haha I couldn't agree more with you when you said, "JUST START!" I'm going to challenge myself to film something with my camera every day starting tomorrow, which just so happens to be my 27th birthday! Please continue to make videos. You never know who you'll impact. Peace and blessings my friend. :)
