Journaling Question: The Choosing Moment
Where in my life am I waiting to be chosen instead of choosing myself? What is one small action I could take this week to change that?
---------------------------

If you’ve been telling yourself you want to be a writer, a traveler, or a more creative, self-directed woman — but your actions don’t quite line up yet — this video is for you.

In this conversation, I talk about why waiting to be chosen keeps so many women creatives stuck, even when they’re talented, thoughtful, and capable. I share what being a writer and entrepreneur has taught me about agency, pitching yourself, and why no one is coming to hand you the life you want.

Since 2018, I’ve lived in 10 countries, using writing as a way to earn, explore, and design a life with intention. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned is this: choosing yourself is a practice, not a personality trait — and it starts with putting your ideas into the world.

In this video, we explore:

What “waiting to be chosen” actually looks like in creative life

Why so many women want to be writers or travelers but never take the steps

How pitching magazines is a powerful way to practice self-selection

Why choosing yourself changes not just your work, but your entire life

I’m not talking about reckless leaps or overnight reinvention. I’m talking about small, courageous actions that build momentum and teach you how to trust yourself as the author of your own life.

✨ If you’re a woman creative who’s ready to stop waiting and start choosing herself, you’re in the right place.
