The fastest way to lose your voice? Asking, “What will everyone think?”

And if you've been asking yourself that question, then this episode of The Femme Cast, is your wake-up call.

If you’ve been showing up online, in your career, or in your life feeling like you’re performing instead of expressing, overthinking every word, reading into every reaction, shaping yourself to be accepted…This isn’t strategy. It’s self-abandonment.

And it’s quietly killing your visibility, your confidence, and your impact.

We’re diving deep into one of the core visibility wounds: fear of judgment and rejection, and how it turns powerful, soul-led women into hyper-aware, over-performing versions of themselves. The kind that look “put together”…but feel disconnected, burnt out, and unseen.

I’m sharing the raw truth behind my own “fraud” moment. Realizing I was splitting myself between platforms, being bold in some spaces and watered down in others. Not because I was lying…but because I wasn’t fully there.

This is where we shift.

Inside this episode, we unpack:

🎤 The subtle ways fear shows up (rumination, second-guessing, people-pleasing)
🎤 How “being strategic” can disconnect you from your truth
🎤 The real cost of hiding parts of yourself (missed opportunities + diminished self-trust)
🎤 Why your body knows when you’re out of alignment, even if your content sounds “right”
🎤 What it means to become internally led and unapologetically expressed

This is emotional alchemy. 
This is leadership. 
This is the work.

Because the women who make the biggest impact? They’re not the most polished. They’re the most real.

If you’re ready to stop shrinking, stop performing, and start being seen in your full power, this episode will move something in you.

SPEAKER_00

Hey you guys, what is up? And welcome back to the show. I'm so excited and grateful that you guys are here. It's so amazing every time I set out to do one of these challenges, the impact that it actually has on me. Let alone you guys. But we are talking about the five core visibility wounds this month. It is Visibility Glow Up Month here at the Femcast. So all up here in the podcast and on my Instagram feed. So you'll want to follow me there as well. You'll notice that the posts have died down in the last week. And that is because, and I I shared in the visibility diaries. Well, I haven't shared it yet. I've just recorded it this morning. So probably I will have shared it by the time you're seeing this episode. But basically, you know, I'm I'm going through this wanting to burn it all down kind of vibe again. I've, for as long as I can remember, I've had this love-hate relationship with social media. Don't get me wrong, I love to create content. I love to create, you know, meaningful episodes and posts and you know, creating a beautiful feed. And that is really something that I I get so much inspiration from, and I get so much value out of. And it's something that means the world to me. But there's also times where I deviate, I think, from what I want to be creating, and I focus more on the what I think I should be creating. So a lot of the things that we're talking about this week or this month on the Femcast, like the the fear of scarcity coming and lack coming into the mix and and influencing what I'm putting out into the world, the fear of judgment or rejection, which is what we're going to be talking about today. And, you know, how it sort of influences what I put out into the world or how I put it out into the world. And taking taking it away from the artistry of it and actually becoming very mechanical, very strategic, very logic, logical kills the vibe for me. And when I do that long enough, it always inevitably just burns me out and gets me to the point where I just don't want to be doing it anymore. Because that's not why I do it. I do it to create inspiration. I do it to create beauty. I do it to create something that'll move people, a story, a message, you know, a very honest, vulnerable, real, heartfelt aha moment, you know. I don't want to be doing things strategically. And I think that's probably why I made visibility such a focus for me, is because I think there's better ways to be visible than to be strategic. And I almost want to make this page and this podcast an experiment in that. So more to come on that. But I will say, so today's conversation is all about the fear of judgment and rejection and how that plays into visibility because when we're constantly performing for approval from others, or so that we don't get judged harshly, so that people don't, you know, abandon and reject us, we end up deviating from you know what it is that we want to say. We end up in a state of performing and proving and pleasing as opposed to actually just authentically expressing who we are into the world and sharing that with the world. So I was politely called out. I'm a fraud. Not not in the sense that what I've been putting out here isn't authentic. I mean, I listen, I will say this. I will say that in an effort to make this because it has, you know, it's always been kind of like a side hustle for me, and I've always kind of worked alongside of this. And in an effort to make it more strategic, I might have compromised my messaging a little bit. And I think that's why I got burnt out. So my apologies for that. But not much. Like it's not to say that I lied, but let's just say it had it, it had a say, it had a seat at the table, and it shouldn't have because I know better because I know that when I create content, it needs to come from total inspiration and heart. Otherwise, it just doesn't work for me. It burns me out. I can't do it. If there's one thing that you know about that that you should know about me, and everybody in my life knows about me. I can't lie. Like, I actually can't, it is impossible for me to lie. If I lie, you will see it, you will feel it, you'll know it right away. So, you know, that being said, I've never really lied, I've never lied on my content. Have I maybe held back a little bit? Maybe. Have I not been disingenuous, but you know, in terms of you know, self-abandoning what it was that I really wanted to talk about, turning my back on what I really wanted to talk about. It's funny that I chose the world self-aband self-abandoning. When we talk about, you know, me turning my back about what I really want to talk about, and then choosing to talk about what I think I should be talking about, I might have done that. I might have done that. And I think that when I do that, even though I'm not lying with what I believe what I'm saying, and this is the big distinction, I believe everything that I'm saying. I never tell you anything that I don't believe is true. But if I'm telling you something, if I'm telling you a story, or I'm if I'm giving you a message, or if I'm giving you a tip or a strategy or anything, and that is not what's in my heart and that moment to be communicating that, to be communicating to you, my body sees that as a lie, even though it's true. Integrity is very huge for me. Like, I can't stress that. Like anyone that I've ever worked with or been in a relationship knows this about me. Integrity is huge for me. And it's not just about always telling you what I think is true and what I fully believe, which I do. Everything I say to you, I think is true, and I believe it, and I believe it wholeheartedly, and I would never lie to you. But I but for the sake of strategy, right? And creating content and putting content out into the world that I think you know people want to hear, it's exactly that. Sometimes I will prioritize talking about, not lying, but I will prioritize having the conversations here that I think people want to hear or should hear or need to hear in order to be strategic, versus what is on my heart that day to talk about. So if I can give you an example, right? Just so you understand, like I'm not talking about lying. This is not about lying. I could, I could talk, I could want to talk to you about one day, about what I see happening in the world. I might want to talk to you about how I see women being treated in the world and how that needs to change. I could want to talk to you about, I think, the feminist movement and I think that the impact that women are meant to make in the world and how they've been cut off from their power and their potential and how this is basically, you know, an evolution that we're going through to tap back into that power and that potential. That's an honest conversation, and that's something I've been feeling a lot lately. But I might not talk about that because I might think I need to talk about the five core visibility blocks. Both are true. Both are true, both are true, both are powerful, both are necessary and both mean something to me. But I need to talk about what is alive in me, what is activated in me, what I feel passionate about in that moment. So if what being passionate about in that moment is the empowerment of women and women in the workplace or women in leadership or women making an impact in the world, then that's what I need to be talking about. I can't be talking about visibility wounds if I need to be talking about that. So I am making a commitment to myself in this podcast to just talk about the things that feel alive and activated in me, regardless of whether I think they're strategic or not, regardless of think of regardless of whether or not I think that it's what I should or should not be talking about according to anyone else's content formula, I'm over it. I'm so fucking over it. I am going to talk about whatever feels alive and and and activated in me. And I'm gonna trust that whatever is alive and activated in me is exactly what you need to hear, or people out there need to hear, and they will find me. And I do believe that when it comes to messaging, I believe that if there's a message on our heart that is so potent, that is so loud and activated and sort of triggering an emotional or visceral response in our body, we have to say it because if it wouldn't be calling on us so powerfully to say it if there wasn't someone out there who needed to hear that, hear it. And I strongly believe that. And so my commitment going through this visibility glow up is to make sure that I stay true to whatever's in my heart to share, whether I think it's strategic or not. Sorry, my nose is tickly. So now I'm getting all sniffly. I think that that's usually that's usually a good, that's usually a sign for me that I'm on the right track. My guys are like, yes, that's what we wanted you to say. So that was nice. That was a nice, that was nice, heartfelt confirmation. Thanks, guys, appreciate it. So for this third installment of, you know, the visibility block series and and you know, March as being visibility glow-up month, we're talking about the fear of abandonment and rejection today, or the fear of rejection and judgment today and how it blocks visibility. So if you're somebody who, you know, whenever you're you're you're trying to do be or create something in the world, your first question that you ask yourself is, well, what everybody, what is everybody else gonna think if I do this? Like whatever, what is everyone else gonna say? And if you're self-conscious about everything that you say and everything that you do, and you're constantly second-guessing yourself, and this episode is entirely for you. It is part three of my five-part visibility block series here on the Femcast as we move through visibility glow-up month. So, again, just to reiterate, this month we're breaking down the five core visibility wounds. And I'm gonna be honest, I actually can't say that I can't wait to get through to these. There's just this whole series has activated so much things in me that I really want to be talking about, and I just want to get to talking about it. Not to say that what we're talking about in this month is not valuable, it's just my heart is already wanting to go someplace else. And you know what? As a manifesting generator, I've learned to live with this pattern of mine, which I tend to do this, and so it's it's very real. So these are again the blocks that I see in myself and my clients time and time again when it comes to visibility and stepping into the power and the impact that you're meant to make in the world. We're going to look at these five blocks that I see coming up in all of us and how to move past them so that you can get visible as fuck in 2026. Because I do believe, and and again, going back to that message that has been on my heart as women, we are powerful spiritual beings. We're we're we're all humans are here having a human experience, humans are here as spiritual beings having a human experience. I believe we're going through a massive transformation as a humanity, and I believe that that feminine energy, and that's you know, present in both men and women. Okay, I'll keep that in mind. But I believe that feminine energy is going to be one of the biggest influencers in this transformation that we're going through. And there's literally an activation happening right now in this moment to awaken feminine energy to help it to step into its power so that it can make the changes that we need to make. I truly believe that's what's happening in the world, right? And that's how we're seeing all this like hyper mass toxic masculinity and the manosphere conversations. It's literally pushing us to wake up and take action and step into our power and potential so that we can make the necessary shifts that we need to make as a humanity in order to come into more harmony, peace, balance, right? So, so today we're talking about the fear of judgment and rejection and how that shows up. So, you know, make sure that you're following here on the podcast so that you don't miss the remaining episodes. We've already published one and two so that you can find those on the podcast as well. And you can also check me, check out the Femcast on Instagram for other prompts and and and affirmations and ideas to kind of help you through, you know, this glow up strategy. Okay. I don't even want to use the word strategy. I want to break up with the word strategy. Can we produce can we just like, I don't know, burn it? Throw it in the trash. So again, what is the block, right? It's the fear of what everyone else is gonna say or think about anything or everything that we do. When the afterthought of any decision that we make is, well, what the heck is everyone else gonna think? And I remember this being so strong in me my whole life. My whole life, what everyone else would say would and think would be my North Star. What am I gonna wear? What is everyone gonna think if I wear that? Or what do I have to wear in order for people to like like this is me in high school, okay? Like what do I have to wear in order for people to like me or to look cute or to be cool, or you know, how do I need to do my makeup, or how should my hair look, or why can't my hair look like that girl's hair, or what like constantly comparison, and this is comparison is a huge sign that you that you that you struggle with this, right? But anyway, it's also a sign of well, it's a sign of other things as well, but I'm getting derailed. Okay, so again, so it looks like obsessing over, you know, everything that you say, do, have, don't say, don't do, don't have, where? It is replaying interactions in your mind over and over and over again, reanalyzing everything that you said, every word that you chose, being meticulous about, well, did I say the right thing? Well, what if they took that the wrong way? Or what if they took it to mean that instead of this? Why didn't I say that? Or oh my, you ever had that where it's like, it's like you you're in this, you're in a confrontation or just a situation with somebody and you're having an not an argument, but maybe an argument, maybe just a disagreement, and they kind of catch you off guard and you're and you like come back and you're like, fuck, why didn't I say that? You know, because you're so consumed with what everyone else is saying or thinking that you disconnect with what your truth is, right? And that's what's happening in those moments, right? We get so consumed with what everyone else is saying or thinking about us or how they're feeling about us that we disconnect from ourselves, right? And we we put ourselves in a very disempowered state. And only when we can kind of step away from that, then the clarity kind of comes in. That's how we have those moments of like, fuck, I should have said this, I should have said that. Why didn't I think of saying this? And the reason was because you were too consumed with what that person was saying or thinking about you or feeling about you to be connected to what your truth was in the moment, right? And that was a really powerful realization. And I know that I do this a lot and I still do this sometimes. Like this still happens, right? Not as much because I've learned the power of checking in with myself and the power of a pause, right? Like one of those power pauses that people talk about to think about what I'm saying, what I wanna, what I want to say, what feels alive for me, what feels true for me, what what what feels triggered or activated in me, right? So I'm always making the choice, consciously trying to be more set like self-led instead of externally guided, right? So always checking in with self, like and and kind of trying to detach from your environment is the best way to kind of put it. People who are afraid of judgment and rejection are always very hyper-aware of people's energy and their energy, especially like the subtle shifts, like their body language changes slightly. They make a funny face, or suddenly you feel their energy kind of pull back, or they're talking, talking, talking, talking, and all of a sudden they get quiet. And you're thinking to yourself, you're you're all already making that mean something about you and something that you've done wrong, or said wrong, or that they've interpreted wrong, right? It always comes back to you in some sort of way, right? And you learn to be very hyper-aware of people's body language and energy as a way of being hyper-vigilant and hyper-aware of how people, what people are thinking and feeling, so that you can preemptively correct that by altering yourself. You see where I'm going with this? Like we're constantly people who worry about this, and this is like the people pleaser tendency, right? People who worry about abandonment and rejection and judgment tend to prioritize what other people think about them over how they actually feel and what they want. And that's where we get derailed from our truth and our authenticity and our integrity, because it becomes, again, externally guided instead of internally led. And self-worth, again, so you know, having, you know, having gone through, you know, your self-worth comes from purely from external validation and not within. Because it has to, because you've totally turned your back on yourself. So now you have to get your validation externally because your internal self is not happy with who you are, because you've allowed the fear of judgment, rejection, and abandonment to guide that, right? And you've let that be, you've let that turn you into something that you're not in an effort to be, to do the pleasing thing, to do the right thing, to say the right thing, to do the thing that you think that people will love and appreciate you for, instead of the thing that might be true. And if there's one thing that is, you know, that this path has taught me is that oftentimes our authentic truth, the thing that we're here to do, the thing that we're here to say, the thing that we're here to create, is often going to be in opposition into a lot of what we see in the world and to a lot of people. And I and I and I do see that as you know, when we're in this period of transformation that we're in, many of us have this pull to do, be or create something that is outside of the norm, that is maybe something that most people, you know, wouldn't agree with because things need to change. And we're not gonna create change if we keep doing the things that people have known to love and accept. Like it's just not gonna happen, right? If we're gonna be a change maker, we have to be willing to do things differently. We have to be willing to do the things that people might not agree with or that might they might get angry about, or they might judge in some way or think it's crazy in some way. And so this is where I come back to being called out this week, in that we talked about my content and how that's been influenced. But also, I, you know, I've been in this program with, you know, kind of trying to refocus my career and get back into the workforce. And I had, you know, the facilitator call me out and saying, well, you have all this amazing content on your podcast and on Instagram. Why is that not on LinkedIn? And I'm like, well, and I didn't realize it. I'm like, well, because you know, that's like my podcasting life and that's not my career life. And I'm like, oh my God, I just realized I've been compartmentalizing myself. I've been one person in one arena and another person in another arena, right? Because I've been playing the role of or playing like bringing in the parts of myself that I thought would be pleasing and acceptable in each environment. And if there was a part of me that I didn't think was going to be pleasing or acceptable, I would leave that out. So I had one version of me that showed up on my podcast and Instagram, and one version of me that showed up on my LinkedIn and my workplace. And the two were vastly different. Both were true parts of myself. It wasn't like I was making anything up, but I was hiding parts that I didn't think were acceptable in those places. Does that make sense? So it's like I wasn't pretending to be something that I'm not, but I was only bringing the parts to myself of myself to the conversation that I thought would be acceptable in those environments and excluding the parts that I thought might be weird, inappropriate, you know, not appreciated or or valued or or or or you know, you know, just not out of place, right? And I realized, I'm like, oh my God, I'm doing this. I'm actually, I never realized it until they pointed it out to me because I always saw like my Instagram and my podcast as one space and my LinkedIn as another. I never thought of bridging the gap between those two worlds. And so I've been compartmentalizing myself into these two different places and watering myself down and not being my fullest potential in both. So now the journey for me has really been learning to bridge these two into one cohesive brand, one cohesive identity that exists across, you know, all areas of my life and no longer like compartmentalizing myself in that way. So that was a huge learning experience. I'm like, oh my God, I'm such a fucking fraud. I've been hiding. Here I am talking about visibility on Instagram of the podcast. Meanwhile, I've been hiding half of who I am on LinkedIn because I didn't think that was acceptable in a corporate space. I'm like, okay, this is interesting. And you know, like a lot of that does come from, you know, I come from a tech background. You know, as a woman in tech, we can get caught up in these ideologies of who it is that we should and should be in the workplace and what parts of ourselves we should and should not bring. And maybe that's the parts of that, maybe that's the parts that need to change. Right? Maybe we need to start looking at these things differently. Maybe we need to start showing up in the workplace differently because those spaces also need a transformation. Those places also need to change. So why hide all these beautiful parts of ourselves in These areas where we can actually make a huge impact in the world, right? Because when we start to make ripple effects of change there, who knows what we're capable of? But we have to have the courage to show up in that way first. So obviously, I'm not going to rip off the band-aid and like, you know, bring my entire Instagram feed over to my LinkedIn feed anytime soon. But I am going to start being more conscious about making sure that when I create content, it is from a very whole version of me and being mindful of where I'm leaving parts of myself aside when I step into certain rooms and certain conversations, right? And trying to be more me anywhere and everywhere I go, and letting all of who I am be seen, right? So there you go. Visibility wounding 101. There you have it. Like that is that that is a living, breathing example of how you move through these experiences, right? So what's it really costing you when you when you have this fear of judgment or rejection and that you'll be abandoned in some way, right? If people don't love and appreciate you or value or agree with you or approve of you, right? It's costing you your authentic self, right? You're losing yourself in the process because you're trying to constantly try to molt other people's expectations. You definitely take a nosedive in self-confidence because and knowing yourself and trusting yourself because you're constantly being externally guided instead of internally led. And, you know, your North Star becomes what they think versus how you feel. And so when you do that, you erode your own confidence, right? And you start to doubt yourself. You break that self-trust because yourself is telling you what you want and what you need all along. But when you're not trusting that and you're prioritizing what everyone else thinks or feels above the above and beyond that, you break trust in yourself. You break, you break that relationship that you have with your intuition where you know it's going to guide you to your highest good, even though if it doesn't always look like it. And if even though a lot of people may not agree with it, right? So it's eroding your confidence, it's eroding your self-trust. Definitely massive miss opportunities because the opportunities that are truly meant for you are designed for you, for the real version of you, for the authentic version of who you are. And so the more you keep masking all these beautiful parts of yourself, the more you're going to miss out on opportunities, people, places, and things that are truly meant for the real you because they're out there looking for you and they can't see you. They're seeing this sort of manual like altered version of you that you're putting out into the world because you think that's what the world wants from you or needs from you in order to be loved and approved of, but that is not the case. But sometimes we have to meet with, we have to meet and be okay with disapproval first. Right. And that's how we break that codependency. We break that codependency by showing up as who we are, trusting that it's enough, meeting the disapproval and the discomfort that may come with it. So meeting the disapproval, meeting the judgment, meeting the rejection, and coming back to, even though I see this happening in my reality, I know I'm still enough. And that's how we start to rewire those neural pathways, right? Because we start to, you know what? Maybe they didn't like what I had to say. That's okay because I know that that's my truth. Maybe they don't like the way that I look, but I know that I'm enough. So that's okay. Maybe they're judging the way I look or what I'm wearing or how I sound or my voice or the language that I'm using or the content that I'm talking about, but I'm okay with that because that's what my in my heart to create and what to share with the world. And so I'm gonna keep leaning in and trusting that. And as we do that, we strengthen our confidence in ourselves because we start to believe in ourselves again, right? We start to rewire that self-trust. We start to get connected with our truth and our intuition again. And that's when we find the external validation and the acceptance that we're looking for, because then that's when we find the people that we're meant to be speaking to, the rooms that we're meant to be, and the opportunities that were perfectly designed for us. And so everything starts to flow out of alignment, but it has to come back to your internal truth first, even though you may see some resistance. That's okay. Make that make that not mean anything about you. It's just an example of I've been in the wrong rooms, I've been with connected with the wrong people. And so I'm gonna keep leaning into my truth and into what feels aligned for me, and trust that the right people are gonna show up. Trust that the right opportunities are going to show up, trust that the right relationships and and connections will be there in the room to meet me, right? So again, it comes from, you know, being a people pleaser, you know, if you've if that's something that you've learned, whether it's through trauma response, oftentimes people pleasing is a trauma response. People don't realize that. If you were judged a lot growing up or bullied a lot growing up, or picked on a lot growing up, where anywhere where being loved, safe and secure meant gaining the approval of others, this is gonna probably be very alive and active in you, right? And this is these are one of the things that we that we that we shift together when we work together in session, is we start to to go back to all those experiences and start to reprogram the beliefs that were created in those moments and release any caught energies that are that are still active and in in your in your energetic signature that are kind of you know attracting these types of situations for you so that you can step into a more empowered version of yourself. But overall, you know, whatever the path was, you you learned that approval in some way, and having approval meant you were loved and accepted. And so we need to break that pattern, we need to break that cycle, right? So here's why strategy has not worked up until this point. And this is why I kind of want to break up with strategy altogether, right? Is because you know, maybe it worked at first, but eventually it got you to the point where you were performing more and more and more and self-abandoning more and more and more, and again, losing, losing connection with that, that authentic version of yourself for that external validation or approval. That mask, it's very hard to wear, even if you're not lying. Like I said, I was never lying. I wasn't just I was just not talking about the things that I felt passionate to talk about in that moment, and that to me felt like a lie in my body, even though I was saying everything true and everything right and everything that I believed in, but because I wasn't saying the thing that was alive and and and inspired within me in that moment, it felt like a lie. And so you have to look at it that way. You have to look at it as what parts of myself am I, you know, hiding from the world in order for it to be liked and to be approved of? What parts of myself am I altering or presenting in a different way in order to be liked and approved of, and not be judged or rejected in some way, right? And when you can start to bridge the gap and again lean into those parts of yourself where, you know, you really feel called, who you really feel called to be, what you really feel called to do being creating the world, and lean into that more and more and more, despite of any, you know, judgment or rejection you might get into the world, that's how you heal that pattern. And you have to remember that who you are, like the person that you were created to be in this life is exactly who you need to be. Yes, of course, we can always improve. Of course, like people always like harp on that. Are you trying to say that everybody's perfect and nobody can learn? Because everybody, I know, I know we all have shit. I know we all have shit to do, I know we all have shit to heal, I know we all have our own like quirks and whatever. But you know, even personal development, guys, even personal development can be taken too far where we're constantly trying to create this better alter version of ourselves, and it becomes this twisted like obsession with like constantly trying to heal and grow and expand and manifest and and do all these things that we're supposed to do instead of just being, right? Just be. Of course, we can work on ourselves, but it doesn't have to be a complete overhaul. Like you can still live your best life and have a personal development process, you know? Like it doesn't have to be like you know, I've seen so I've been there, I've been there, and I've seen so many other people where we put our lives on hold working on ourselves, and it's like like what does that say about who you are and how you feel about yourself and how much you love and accept yourself? Like, we're not here to be perfect, you guys. And sometimes I think the personal development space doesn't leave room for that, you know? So come back to the belief that who you are is innately enough. Always come back to that, that you are created exactly who you needed to be in order to do, be and and create what it is that you're meant to create in the world. Trust that whatever you're being internally guided to create is exactly what you need to be focused on. And let all the noise fall by the wayside. Even if it's a little bit messy at first, that's okay. Let the mess be there. Let it be a hot fucking mess if it needs to be for a minute, right? That's how you're gonna rediscover who you are. You're not gonna find yourself out there. It's in here. Although there's a thousand strategies out there that will tell you, oh, do this, and you'll blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah, no, come back to yourself. Come back to your story, come back to your emotional experience, come back to the things that you've gone through, come back to the things that are on your heart in this moment that you feel so activated in you that you need to say something, you can't not say something, you can't look away, you try to change, you try to change your mind, you like you try to focus on other things, but you can't because you keep coming back to that thing. What is that? It's there for a reason. Pay attention, okay? I totally went off the rails with my notes. So hopefully that made sense because I totally went in a wacko order. But let me know what you take from that. Let me know what resonated for you. If you love this episode, please as always leave a positive rating and review. Next time we will be back with block number four. I'm not even gonna say what that is because I'm literally changing this in real time to come up with what's active within me. So until next time, you guys, massive love.
