Peace yall. I’m dropping this 6-minute podcast episode today because TONE matters with this one.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the idea of “mid.”

My first reaction is always to run from it.
Like… I never want to be mid. Uggh

But if I’m being honest?

I’m learning that sometimes that’s my favorite way to be.

Not too hot.
Not too cold.
Not performing.
Not trying to be anything.

Just real. Just great. Just me.

No artificial fluff.
No forcing.
No extra sauce.

“Mid” to me… is “The greatest thing you ever seen” - to you.

I give it my all without giving more than what my soul can afford.

That’s trying too hard.

Thats my secret.

This episode is for anybody who’s ever wondered what would happen if we woke up one day and didn’t try so hard.

Because I think we’re scared of being average…

When trying too hard is often what’s creating average art.

In Episode 7 of The Gold Giraffe Audio Notes, I talk about effort, pressure, and how overthinking can quietly flatten good ideas.

If you’ve been feeling stuck or burnt out from trying to be great…

This one’s for you. 🎧
