In this episode, I got vulnerable about something I know we all struggle with - that nagging voice that asks "why am I doing this?" and "is anybody even listening?" But here's the thing, I had to share a story that completely changed my perspective and reminded me why we keep going even when the doubts get loud.

A few weeks ago, my cousin hit me up out of nowhere with a picture of their TV screen showing Cousin Ed's Corner playing on YouTube. They had no idea I even had a podcast, but somehow the algorithm blessed them with our content, and they were genuinely surprised and delighted. That moment right there reminded me that we never truly know whose life we're touching or whose day we're making better with our authentic voices.

This episode is for every creator, every dreamer, every person putting themselves out there wondering if it matters. Whether you're writing poetry, making body butters, fixing cars, or sharing your healing journey - your genuine effort matters more than you know. I talk about why being your own number one fan isn't just important, it's necessary, and how sometimes that one person you're creating for might just be yourself, and that's perfectly okay. We dive into the power of community support, those simple hearts and "KEEP GOING" comments that fuel us more than we realize, and why authenticity will always win over perfection.

I hope that this episode is that battery in your back, that recharge you need to keep pushing forward with whatever passion project is on your heart. Whether you're thinking about starting that restaurant, writing that book, or sharing your travel dreams - your voice matters, your story matters, and somebody out there needs to hear exactly what you have to say.

Remember: 'No Matter How You Cut It Or Slice It, We Are All In This Together'
