Don’t give up!

I don’t know who needs to hear this, I am guessing it is a few of you … don’t give up!

This morning I jumped out of bed at 6am to scan my b-roll from yesterday’s shoot.

A month before life blew up with Josh losing his transplant last year, I had a serious chat with one of my mentors. I was doing all the things, and with everyone loving what I do, sales were still slow. My mentor said to me… come April 1st, make a decision: wind up for the financial year or keep going. But until then, just keep going.

I talk often about not giving up, but it is so hard out there — and you don’t even need me to tell you that. But wow, I didn’t even dare to dream I would be where I am today. And now, sitting here, I have big plans and even bigger dreams for Disinfluencer.

Yesterday’s shoot was our most ambitious yet, and there was a moment where I just paused and took it in — the people, the energy, the intention behind it all. It felt like one of those “this is why I kept going” moments.

It is also so surreal having my Josh on set, looking like nothing happened and like he didn’t just spend months in hospital and is now in kidney failure, on dialysis three times a week! Life is absolutely wild like that… holding beauty and challenge at the same time, in the same breath.

And maybe that’s the point. You don’t always get the version of the journey you expected, but if you keep showing up, keep moving, keep creating… things have a way of meeting you where you are.

I don’t know who needs to hear this today, but if you’re in the thick of it, unsure, tired, questioning everything… just keep going.
