🎙 The Vulnerable Side of Content Creation Nobody Talks About
Hosted by: Katie Silva
In this raw and reflective episode, Katie shares the emotional journey behind returning to YouTube after stepping away due to past insecurities and fear of judgment. She opens up about the impact of negative comments, the struggle to stay authentic online, and how spiritual tools like oracle cards have helped her reconnect with her truth. If you've ever felt paralyzed by criticism, disconnected from your audience, or afraid to be seen—this one’s for you.
You’ll be reminded that:
It’s okay to start messy and imperfect.
You don’t need permission to take up space.
Your voice is valid, necessary, and powerful—even when it shakes.
It’s safe to evolve and let go of what no longer aligns
🪞 Takeaways
Katie invites you to meet yourself in your wholeness: the vulnerable, the spiritual, the growing, and the bold.
This is the raw, messy, vulnerable side of starting.
Negative comments can paralyze creativity—but they don’t define your worth.
It’s okay to outgrow people as you grow into yourself.
Connecting to the earth and pulling oracle cards can help you come home to your voice.
You attract the right people when you show up as your full self.
Keep showing up, even when it’s scary. Especially then.
