Facing the Camera: My 360-Day Challenge to Show Up, Get Real, and Grow
If you told me a few years ago I’d willingly commit to recording myself on camera every day for 360 days, I would have laughed so hard I’d probably fall out of my chair. Yet here I am, announcing to the world that starting in 2025, I’ll be doing exactly that.
Why?
Because growth happens when we step into discomfort, and let me tell you—being on video makes me more uncomfortable than wearing white pants to a barbecue.
But I’m doing it. And I want you to come along for the ride.
From Struggle to Strength
Back in the day, I battled something that many of you might relate to: self-image struggles and body dysmorphia. I spent years picking myself apart in front of the mirror, seeing every flaw, and believing I’d never measure up. It was exhausting and isolating.
But it didn’t start there.
Throughout my childhood, I was bullied—picked on for things I couldn’t change, made to feel like I was too much and not enough all at once. I learned that if I stayed under the radar, unseen, I could survive. So I lived unnoticed, hidden, disconnected, and kept others at arm’s length.
But God.
God stepped into my brokenness and gently began to heal me. He reminded me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14)—not because of how I look but because of who He created me to be. Read more here!
Slowly, I learned to see myself through His eyes instead of my own harsh, distorted lens. That healing didn’t happen overnight—it’s been a journey of grace, surrender, and a whole lot of letting go.
Now, I can stand here (or, you know, sit awkwardly in front of a camera) and say I’ve come a long way. I’ve learned to step out of hiding, embrace connection, and show up fully as myself. But there’s still work to do, and this video challenge is part of that.
To anyone who feels unseen, unworthy, or stuck in the shadows—you are not alone. There’s healing and hope, and it starts with stepping into the light.
Why This Challenge?
Let’s be real: being on camera is intimidating. I’ve perfected the art of avoiding my own reflection during Zoom calls, and the thought of hitting “record” every day feels… ambitious. But I’m choosing to do it because:
1. We Don’t Grow Without Challenges: Growth isn’t comfortable—it’s awkward, messy, and sometimes hilarious. But stepping into discomfort is where transformation happens.
2. I Want to Show Up Authentically: Life is messy. I’m messy. And I think the world needs more of that. No filters (ha ha maybe occasionally), no perfect angles—just me, sharing my journey in all its imperfections.
3. Connection Is Powerful: My mission with Be Nourished 360 is to help you find health, joy, and purpose in every part of your life. But I don’t just want to tell you about it—I want to walk alongside you, sharing my struggles, tips, and wins as we figure it out together.
4. Accountability: I need it too! Healthy habits are easier to maintain when we’re doing them together. This challenge is as much for me as it is for you.
What to Expect
Starting January 1, 2025, I’ll post a video every single day (360 days). Some days might be deep and reflective. Others might be me trying to figure out how to cook without setting off the smoke alarm.
The point is to show up—authentically, courageously, and imperfectly.
I’ll share lessons from my healing journey, practical tips for nourishing your whole self (physically, emotionally, spiritually, and financially), and moments from my very real, very messy life.
It won’t be polished or perfect, but it will be real. And I hope it inspires you to step into your own hard things and show up for your life in a new way.
Join Me on This Journey
Here’s the deal: I can’t do this alone. I need you. I need your encouragement, your accountability, and your company. Let’s do this together—taking small steps, building healthy habits, and cheering each other on through the challenges.
If you’re ready to:
• Step into your own discomfort and grow,
• Build healthier habits,
• Show up authentically in your life,
…then I invite you to follow along.
Let’s make 2025 the year we stop waiting for perfection and start embracing the messy, beautiful, transformative process of just showing up.
Thank you for being here. Thank you for your trust, your support, and your willingness to do life together. I’m so grateful, and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes us.
Here’s to growth, connection, and a whole lot of awkward, beautiful videos!!
