Hi everyone! Just wanted to bop in and say hi! I got back from Italy a couple of days ago and dove straight into The Booked Creative classes and the recordings I missed. There were so many valuable points Courtney made that I had to pause to really internalize them. So much of what I’ve been learning from her came into play on this trip! I flew to Italy with the intention of creating & building relationships and came out with so much more because I said yes to opportunities that came my way. By being myself and showing up with confidence, I grew, learned, made connections, and got to be in rooms I’ve dreamed of being in. I was doing creative direction for a client, and he happened to mention he was proposing that same night we were filming. He asked if I could sing, and I took the opportunity and ran with it! That somehow led us to meet so many artists that night, and we were later invited to a fashion event. All my worlds collided on this trip. All to say, community, confidence, knowing your value, and being yourself will get you far. This community is super valuable to me. Courtney, thank you for all you do! If you haven’t joined Founding 20 yet, I highly recommend it. I’m so happy to be here 🤍
