“Life/YouTube mindset” message (personal reflection)

    • Not 100% proud of what they’ve been posting
    • Feeling “lazy” at times
    • Posting because of pressure to not go a week without uploading
  • Plan for the next video:
    • Make content they feel proud of

    • Goal: avoid uploading just out of obligation and feel less “lost in the sauce”
