The Mental Shift That Changes Everything

There comes a moment when you stop straddling the fence.

When the backup plan no longer feels like comfort—it feels like a cage.

I’ve spent years with one foot in and one foot out. Working jobs that made sense on paper, staying within the lines, doing what I thought I should do, all while trying to carve out time for my art on the side. But the truth is, that split energy never works. You can’t build a masterpiece while constantly looking over your shoulder for a safety net.

I’ve released the idea that I need to be anything other people want me to be.

I’ve released the belief that success requires a “real job” on top of my passion.

And I’ve released the story that there needs to be a backup plan.

Because what if your backup plan is just a quiet way of telling yourself you’re not all in?

What I’ve learned is that betting on yourself isn’t just a career move—it’s a mindset shift.

It’s a commitment to trust.

To show up with both feet on the ground, fully in your purpose.

To walk forward before you see the full path, and let it reveal itself with every step you take.

When you truly commit, everything changes.

You move differently.

You speak about your work with conviction.

You create from a place of power, not pressure.

And the world begins to respond to that energy.

It's not recklessness—it’s alignment. It’s about letting go of the version of yourself that played it safe and stepping into the version of you that knows they were made for this.

So no, I don’t need a backup plan.

Because this is the plan.

And I’m walking it fully now—camera in hand, heart wide open.
