This is me nearly 20 years ago, shooting my first wedding. Today I'm so grateful for all the opportunities I've had to tell stories, travel, meet people, and learn new things, all because I picked up a video camera. I've been scared, felt intimidated, lacked motivation, and nearly burned out, but I'm still here, and this is still the thing I love to do.

In about 10 years, I'll have a whole team of interns!

Yesterday I visited my favorite little man's kindergarten class for parent career day. The kids got to learn about which 5 senses a camera uses, how to tell stories, and what's in my camera bag. They even got a chance to see who could lift my heavy bag! 🤣😂

Smiling while setting up a light? Seems a little sus....

We were hot. It was 110 degrees in Dallas, TX, and the venue we were using for the interview was GORGEOUS, but they were replacing the A/C that week so there was no escaping the heat, AND the closest elevators were out so we had to walk an extra half mile with all the camera gear... my dad and I poured sweat all day long for the sake of his great STORY!

Did we face certain death? No.

Would we have preferred for it to be perfectly cool and great conditions? Sure.

Do we have a story to laugh about now for years to come? Yes!

Don't despise uncomfortable or inconvenient moments in your life - with the right perspective, those moments make you who you are and shape your legacy!

What's something really hard you did recently that showed you how strong you are? I'd love for you to share in the comments!

Hitting the road with my DAD to tell his story!! We'll be driving across 6 states this week for interviews, then coming home to put it all together. I'm so excited!!!

The chair squeaked a little when I sat down - it was among many antiques in my grandmother’s sitting room back in 2002.

The wooden arms were worn, and my feet barely touched the floor. I looked down at my paper, interview questions scribbled down, and I awkwardly asked my grandmother, my hero, about her life.

The old VHS camera hummed quietly beside me. At just 11 years old, I was learning what it meant to draw out someone’s story with honor, truth, and love.

I continued to tell my grandmother’s story, and record more interviews with her. Her story culminated in a 45-minute legacy documentary we showed her at her 90th birthday party 15 years later.

She was honored and celebrated, surrounded by family and friends. Even though she passed away just a few months later, we’ll always have this video to see her, hear her, and remember her.

I’ve had incredible opportunities to tell stories around the world with my camera. I’ve learned how to find what makes people light up, and how to bring out the raw emotions of a difficult memory with compassion and hope.

I’ve told stories of athletes, grandparents, foster kids, business executives, pastors, lovers, soldiers and more. I’ve seen lives changed through storytelling, and legacies established.

I know being on camera can feel intimidating, but I hope you’ll consider the impact you can make by telling your story this way.

"At 12:15, I reported to work at the Medals Plaza where I nearly high-fived Usher, but then chickened out last minute as he was walking past me to go offstage."

😂😂😂

This post is not a deep dive into what could have given me the impulse to high five a celebrity (what?).

This post is about holding back from an opportunity. Have you experienced this? I certainly have.

I have held back from connecting with a fellow businesswoman at a networking event.

I've held back from sticking to my value-based pricing during a sales meeting.

I've held back from letting myself be authentic online.

So many times, I think we HOLD BACK from doing something that seems scary, or that we feel inadequate for.

I was ON STAGE at the Olympics, looking like a charcoal marshmallow with all my layers on, and had the opportunity to meet someone famous, and held back.

In Spanish, my favorite phrase is, "el no, ya lo tenemos" - it means "we already have the answer no."

If we already have a no by not going for whatever opportunity presents itself, we might as well try, because the answer can't be worse than the no we already have.

Confused yet?

Trying new things is hard. Putting yourself out there can feel so scary. But a lot of times, you'll be surprised what can happen when you decide to do it anyway.

Here's to saying yes to new, scary experiences, to being seen, and to realizing that celebrities are just humans too.

My office setup has seen so many iterations in different homes over the last ten years. Here's the latest - a new work in progress! We moved a couple months ago and are still in the midst of settling in. If you're an IRL friend, please come over to visit! Just don't look in the garage... 🤣😂

I sometimes feel impatient wanting to dream up how to take basic, beige rooms and make them extraordinary. For example, I want to add something really bold on this wall! Maybe sound treatment? Maybe wallpaper? But for now, here's to enjoying where I am, right here at the beginning of the story for this space, in this home.

What would you do on this wall?

Already thinking I'll probably hide the shelves in a closet! And remove the TV mount left from the previous owner. 😊
