One year ago today I was ready to end everything

The pain of living with cancer, grief and depression was too much

But I clawed my way back

This is a clip from my last video of 2025

I hired a videographer for my next keynote.

That sentence used to feel illegal.

For years, I told myself I wasn’t ready:

Not good enough. Not big enough.

Paying someone to film my talks felt arrogant.

Like I was pretending to be someone I wasn’t.

So I didn’t do it.

I called it humble. Responsible. Sensibly modest.

But if I’m honest, it was fear.

- Fear of being seen.
- Fear of being judged.
- Fear of looking like I thought too highly of myself.

Hiring a videographer isn’t ego.

It’s saying: this work matters.

This message matters.

And people deserve to see it clearly.

→ Speakers record their talks.
→ Experts invest in how they show up.

That’s not big headed. That’s normal.

So yes. There will be a camera at my next talk

Not because I’m special.

But because I finally stopped shrinking.

What’s one thing you’ve been calling “too much” that’s actually just the next step?
