clarity
is a cheat code
Yo fam,
I want to talk about something that’s been a game-changer for me.
Something that’s more powerful than motivation, more important than strategy, and more valuable than hype.
Clarity.
We don’t talk about it enough.
But the truth is—clarity is a cheat code.
Most people think they’re stuck because they’re unmotivated.
Or they think they’re procrastinating because they’re lazy.
Or they say they “don’t have time” when really, they’re just overwhelmed.
But what I’ve found—both in my own life and from talking to other creatives—is that the real issue is often a lack of clarity.
When you don’t know:
what you’re trying to build
who it’s for
what it’s supposed to do
or where it’s meant to take you
…then every thing towards it feels heavy. Every decision feels like a risk.
You keep switching up. Overthinking. Starting new things you never finish.
And that inconsistency makes you feel like you're the problem.
But you’re not the problem.
Your process is just unclear.
Clarity removes friction
Once you get clear, everything gets easier. You stop wondering if you’re doing too much.
Because now you know what fits the bigger picture—and what doesn’t.
That’s how I’ve been able to move through seasons of GUAP, ICXN, and now forevafree*.
Not because I have it all figured out, but because I take time to get clear before I move heavy.
When the vision is clear, the work flows easier.
When the intention is solid, the impact is stronger.
When the outcome is defined, the path reveals itself.
If you’re feeling stuck or inconsistent right now, ask yourself this:
What am I actually trying to build this season?
(Not long-term—just for the next 3 months.)Who am I trying to reach with it?
(Not everyone. One specific type of person.)What do I want this to do for me?
(Do you want clients? A following? More peace?)
Tasks for today:
Block out 30 minutes today.
No distractions. No screens. Just you, a notebook, and honesty.
Write down your answers to those 3 questions.
You don’t have to overcomplicate it. Just get clear enough to move without doubting yourself every step of the way.
Because here’s the truth:
Clarity doesn’t guarantee success. But confusion guarantees delay.
And if you’ve been doing this creative journey in circles—starting things, stopping things, switching things— it might be time to stop going alone.
That’s why I built forevafree*. To give creatives like us a space to build with structure, support and direction. If that’s something you need—join the fam.

ICXN UPCOMING RELEASE
Hey,
My next single SOUL will be released on 04/06/25 and would love your support on it!
“SOUL” is the second track from my debut EP Weight Of It All. It captures the moment I chose purpose over pressure—starting GUAP while at university, navigating doubt from family, and betting on myself when it didn’t make sense to anyone else. This isn’t just a song—it’s a chapter. A reflection of what it means to follow your soul when the stakes are high and the world expects you to play it safe.

events by us for you guys.
OUR MASTERCLASS IS HAPPENING TOMORROW!
