What happens when your new YouTube channel starts receiving views—but there are still almost no likes, comments or feedback? In this video, I talk honestly about the confusing stage of being a small YouTuber: creating in the dark, questioning whether the content is worth anybody’s time, and wondering whether to keep going or give up. I explore: This is not a success story told from the finish line. It is an honest reflection from the uncertain beginning—when the channel is still developing, the audience is still unclear, and every upload feels like an experiment. Francois’ Footsteps is about the messy path from hiding to self-expression: starting late, creating before confidence…

Many of us misunderstand the word “surrender.” We think it means passive waiting, hoping the right moment will magically appear. I spent four years waiting for that moment, and it never came. In this video, I share why true surrender is actually about taking soul-led action—moving out of the mind and into the body. I open up about my own journey of moving past the fear of being “not ready,” integrating my shadow, and finally starting my creative journey. If you’ve been feeling stuck, uninspired, or trapped by the need for perfection, this video is for you. Learn how to stop overthinking, tap into a true “flow state,” and reclaim…

I woke up at 3:30 AM this morning. I was well-rested, but the first thing I did was check my YouTube Analytics. No views. The familiar, stinging disappointment set in. The internal voice whispered, “Maybe you should just give up.” But this time, something felt different. Despite the silence on the screen, I felt a deep, grounded sense of commitment. I realized that I am finally ready to stick with something, even if the growth is agonizingly slow. The “Bootcamp” Phase Right now, my YouTube channel is in what I call the “bootcamp” phase. I’ve been struggling with my microphone settings, convinced that my budget gear is the reason I…

For years, I’ve lived primarily inside the walls of my own mind. While I’ve always been able to play the “joker” in professional settings, showing up as my true, vulnerable self to strangers has felt like an insurmountable hurdle. That is, until now. Welcome to the beginning of my journey. I’ve decided to launch this channel not because I have all the answers, but because I am tired of letting fear dictate the terms of my life. The Catalyst: Facing the Tower In this week’s video, I pulled a card from the Tarot: The Tower. It couldn’t have been more fitting. The Tower represents sudden, necessary change—the destruction of old…

Welcome to the tribe! Well, what an anxiety-ridden experience to record these three minutes! Haha! This is my very first video, and honestly, it’s a huge milestone for me. As an introvert living with a speech impediment, hitting “record” and “upload” has been a journey that started back in 2022. I’m finally here, embracing the “messy start,” and I’m so glad you found your way to this corner of the internet. If you’ve ever felt held back by fear or self-doubt, I hope this video serves as a reminder that you don’t have to be perfect to get started. You just have to be brave enough to begin. I truly…
