In 2025, I left my job as a peer support worker and trainer.

I thought I was just starting a YouTube channel to share tools and lived experience.

What I didn’t expect was how uncomfortable it would feel…
or how much it would teach me about fear, confidence, curiosity, and consistency.

Turns out, building something new has a way of revealing what’s actually going on beneath the surface.

In This Video, You’ll Learn:

• Why getting started is often the antidote to fear
• Why you can’t skip the “I’m bad at this” phase
• How curiosity keeps you growing (even when you think you know it all)
• Why process beats motivation (especially with an overthinking brain)
• What “love what you do” actually means in real life

If you’re rebuilding, reinventing, or simply trying to show up more consistently, this one’s for you.

If you’re looking to build a simple reflection habit, you might also like the FREE Front Line Workers Guide to Manage Overthinking.

Until next time, I’m Jeff and remember to take care of yourself, however that looks for you.
