I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but I know I’m not the only one who’s been feeling this way. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the value we assign to others… and the value others assign to us. We all do it to some extent. We have limited time, energy, and resources, and we make decisions about who and what deserves those things. But I think this is especially exaggerated in the streaming space, particularly when you already feel like an outlier. It can be a very cliquey environment, with people climbing an invisible ladder of views, growth, recognition, and each other’s approval. And sometimes it feels like the value people place on you is directly tied to what you can do for them. Anyway, I guess this is just a reminder to myself and anyone else who needs it: You cannot control the value other people assign to you. But you CAN control how you value yourself and how you interact with other people. Know your worth. Own it. Regardless of your size, your age, your numbers, or where you fit into the bigger picture. I genuinely believe that the energy you put into the world comes back to you tenfold. Keep showing up as yourself, keep being good to people, and don’t let someone else’s perception of your value become your own. ❤️ Oh, and the Bronx girl in me has one more thing to add: Be real with people, and expect people to be real with you. I think the streaming space could use a whole lot more honesty and directness. Not everyone is going to value you the same way, and that’s okay. But there’s something to be said for being upfront about where people stand rather than leaving them guessing. Just know the value I assign to folks who do this is close to zero. 😅 An incredible week of growth, clarity and inspiration. 👏🏻 I’m looking forward to this next year around the sun. ☀️
