When I really think about it, my love for videography/content creation started at a very young age. I remember getting my very first digital camera from my Dad when I was about 8. It was metallic purple, had a little selfie camera in the front & nowadays would be considered to have a “film” aesthetic to the photos it took. When I got it, I started making music videos & posting them on Youtube. Yes, music videos. I would get lost in it for hours. At the time it was the one thing that truly made time feel like it stopped. From the ideas brainstorming, to the filming process, to editing, to posting and sharing with friends & family. It seemed like it was a innocent silly little hobby at the time, but looking back I can see how it was so much more than that. It was something my soul truly loved to do.
speaking of stories,
here’s mine
I made videos up until I was about 13, and then naturally, it became “uncool” and I put down the camera, as a means to try & fit in during those awkward teenage years. When Instagram became a thing, I was in high school. I remember I was so excited because I could edit photos & videos but in a way that was “socially acceptable'“. Then it was Snapchat, and VINE (does anyone remember vine?!?!), Twitter and all the other social platforms that followed. When I started university, I started sharing more of my fitness journey on social media. I was a varsity athlete so training was a big part of my life. I shared workouts, healthy meals and competition training. It was at this time where I started taking it more seriously & knew I wanted to make something of it but wasn’t quite sure how.
one of my many favourite quotes
“you’re not behind, you’re just creating something honest & that takes more intention”
As the years went by, life also happened. I went through different seasons of life with different experiences, passions, phases, and jobs. Each season, I shared something new. Everything from workouts, to recipes, travelling, yoga, mindset, somatic healing, personal training & group fitness, solo backpacking and then the least expected but best thing that has ever happened to me - motherhood. I found out I was pregnant in 2023, and felt a lot of fear & anxiety about birth & motherhood. I started sharing the most vulnerably I ever had online & people resonated. People saw themselves in my story & I realized just how much healing there is in honest voices. From there, I organically created a community of now over 50 thousand women from all over the world. I love sharing about motherhood, but through the experience of creating content & building my community, I have learnt that it’s the creative, storytelling part of it that really lights my soul on fire.
Capturing not just the moment but the feeling that you felt in that moment. Creating videos as little snippets in time you can go back to. Having visual stories that can be passed down forever.
