May tings. ☀️🥤🩲

Mugshot. Red shoes. Cocktails. 1000. Doritos. Pastels. Diet Coke. Sam. Dogs. Quads. More cocktails. Restraining order. White spot.

Last slide is me going to the gym but looking like I’m going to elementary school 🎒👍🏼

Had some really good times this month. 

Also wholly disinterested in keeping my shirt on, sorry. Blame @olibatescoaching

“You’ve got no experience”
“You’ll never get paid for that”
“You can’t host that many events”
“You’ll never sell at that cost”
“Nobody will come”
“It’s unsustainable”
“You’ll burn out”
“It’s not a real job”
“Others already do it”
“The market is saturated”

Yes. And.

If you want something. If you can see it so clearly…take absolutely no notice, unless they’re where you want to be. Because when you move quickly, leave your ego at the door, claim to know nothing + ask the questions, everything changes.

Be the least educated person in the room. Tell them you’re here to learn or you don’t know the unfamiliar word. Show respect to those who’ve actually walked part of the path you want to explore + even better - show ‘em you’re hungry.

Where do you dream of being in a year? What do you want to be the ‘expert’ of? You might be surprised at how quickly you can get there.

Move fast to learn faster. Make mistakes + take note of where you went wrong. Notice what can be improved. Be your own competition + a sponge every damn day.

I’m so honoured to have been introduced by @cahull as a “friend”. She probably doesn’t even know how much that small detail meant to me. I watched on as her + @meechiegrace absolutely rocked it, sharing their experience in building brands via community in such a powerful yet feminine way, full of humour.

When I thanked @cahull for having me, she replied, “Em, I wouldn’t just do this as a favour to you. I KNOW you know what you’re talking about.” That might be my favourite compliment of 2026 + accepting that I DO know what I’m doing (kinda….🤪) is something I’m working on. Thankfully it doesn’t hold me back from the action.

If you came, asked questions, trusted me with your answers, or dialled in + soaked up the room from afar, thank you. I’m already excited for next week’s final IRL event in this series, @andcocommunity where @communityacademyco explores Brand Collaborations✨
