week 6: Center Stage

Today I was challenged to step WAYYYY outside of my comfort zone.

Typically.. I thrive as part of a team and dread the idea of spotlight attention. I’m naturally so happy creating and producing art from a safe space… so when asked to participate in a photo shoot at my internship …my insides screamed no, but my mouth said yes!

Embracing some discomfort for the sake of growth and new experiences.. all that jazz!

My out of character moment gave me some new perspective.
Turns out… this introverted team player actually enjoyed a little center stage moment!!
It brought me joy taking up more than my usual space while contributing to a creative project.. and contrary to my prior thinking.. I didn’t die!
(Sooooo dramatic, I know!)

Granted a couple of awkward photos are definitely in there, but over all it was so great collecting inspiration for the shoot, providing some looks and then participating by being a hair model! Never something I thought I would do in a million years.. but it definitely leveled me up.

Cheers to embracing discomfort in exchange for personal growth!
