I was afraid that by taking up space, I was annoying.

I was afraid of this inherent cringey-like texture that I feared just consumed my being and was ultimately not unlovable, but just a lot more.

And that there's no way in hell anyone really enjoys my annoyingness.

There's no way in hell that... No.

No.

You know, I was going to go on some like, oh, no one could ever love me because I'm so annoying.

I've never felt that.

I've actually never felt that.

Never.

But...

I have always silently feared that I am annoying, okay?

And the funny thing about life is that life is going to always mirror back to you your subconscious beliefs, okay?

In the 3D world, in reality.

So whatever it is that you're ignoring in your subconscious, reality is going to mirror it back to you and you're going to be confronted with it and it's going to be very fucking uncomfortable.

When you look at a woman doing something or you have an experience and it just mirrors your deepest, darkest fears ever.

This has happened to me so many times in my career and maybe four or five years ago now,

I was confronted with so many of my deepest fears.

I've been through so much public shaming on social media since I was about 20 years old.

And it's never been more clear to me in my life that my life's purpose is to help other women become resilient to shame.

Because that is the pattern of my life.
