LI became my “diary” and why that’s problematic 

I was writing for external validation. Writing can however do so much more. 

As a fearless oversharer (meaning I’ll post my content fearlessly and hope no one will bully me)… 

I’ve kept it pretty public, all of it. 

My deepfake content, me building a startup content, my writing and freelance gig content, my emotional intelligence content. All the struggles, I’m quite frank about all of it. 

And it has to do with my intrinsic value, which is – helping people in a similar position, getting my mental act together and being authentic. 

And following LinkedIn’s guardrails really stalled me – because we are talking about external motivation.  

While doing all of the above, a theme started coming together – and this theme is something I needed to do to move forward. And it is happening very naturally.

What is this theme? 

You see, I went from a neurotic drug & booze addict to a highly organised (mostly sane and healthy acting) sober person. The trouble started when I was adolescent and really escalated when I moved to Berlin, immigration is not a good match for a mentally struggling 20 year old. 

So… Working on that angele summarises my learnings, my haunting painful topics, how I overcame them and got to where I am today, which is mostly happy, free and fearless. 

When building up your own thing, you confront it all: fear of being judged, guilt, people pleasing, all the unresolved shit. And this is going to help me process it and move forward. And if it helps one person – I’ll consider it a success. 

I’ll be writing more about this right now, “soft skills” for immigrants, how to stay sane, resolve what has to be resolved to live the life you love.
