A reminder of how far I've come

Sometimes I need reminders of just how far I’ve come and how cool it actually is what I built.

Because I really don’t give myself enough credit for it. I downplay it allllll the time 😂

But honestly… it is pretty cool that somehow I turned my own self exploration and curiosity about spice 🌶️ and relationships into basically a full time side hustle lol.

And not by becoming a coach or a therapist or trying to tell anyone what they should be doing. I actually have zero interest in going down that road. There are much better people suited for that job. (And I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know them and calling them my friends!)

I literally just wanted to learn more about myself.

I invested in my education with @sexualhealthalliance , started learning more about seggsuality, relationships, ki!-n£, spicy culture, all of it… and then I just started sharing what I was learning and the experiences I was having along the way.

And somehow people really cared 😂

I think sometimes I forget how interested we are in other people’s actual personal experiences. Especially with things we’re curious about ourselves but maybe too nervous to try, or don’t know who to ask, or just want to know… ok but what is it ACTUALLY like??

And I’m realizing more and more that it’s actually pretty hard to find people who will openly share this stuff in a way that feels safe and curious and non judgmental. Without trying to tell you what you should think about it.

I’m not trying to convince anyone to do the things I do. Half the time I don’t even know how I feel about something until AFTER I do it 😂

I’m just sharing.

What I tried. What I liked. What I didn’t like. What surprised me. What I learned. What made me uncomfortable. What made me think differently.

And apparently there’s value in that.

So yeah. Just giving myself a little credit today because I don’t do that enough.

This thing I somehow accidentally built is pretty cool ❤️ 😘 #aliimperiale #proud #beproud #beproudofyourself
