At first, I couldn’t quite put my finger on what felt off.
I mean, I was going to work with world-class talent and her incredible team. I knew I’d be in remarkable hands.
She had always used my pieces in her productions. Her Blue Marlin production was breathtaking. I still remember the first time I saw it, I watching it play on the screens and in the in-flight magazine on a flight to Ibiza, years ago, while I was delivering pieces to one of my very first retailers on the island.
So yes, this felt like money well spent. Safe. Solid. I would walk away with stunning productions by the end of the day.
But then the real question surfaced…
Was I hiding behind my brand?
I’ve always been super extroverted and social, yet when it came to my brand, I preferred to stay in the background and just create and build in silence.
Strange, really. So far from my personality..
What I truly wanted with this shoot was to step out of my head and face the doubt. And honestly, I don’t even think it was about creating content at all.
I’ve always said Action is the remedy.
I wrote down the theme in my head…
Who is the women behind it all. Who is the women behind my model?
Her freedom. Her essence.
Who is she when she’s free?
This went back to myself. Somewhere over the past couple of years, I had forgotten myself. I lost her when I started playing it safe - listening to everyone else’s opinions but my own.
I’ve always had a vision, so why was I suddenly afraid to think big? Why was I dismissing my intuition? Why was I doubting and overthinking every small decision?
It felt like being trapped in a prison of my own mind.
Have you ever felt that?
