But everything changed the night she stumbled across one 12-second reel. It didn’t go viral—but it hit home. From her self-talk to her body language, things began to shift. She didn’t overhaul her life overnight—she just got open to better inputs: better content, better company, better thoughts. And that made all the difference.
