Make friends, build trust, give and take feedback, be responsible, work hard, and learn in every step you take. This will give you confidence and release your true self. You belong.

I really value my family and friends. They mean a lot to me, and I always try to be there for them—unless they wake me up too early. Then, it’s every person for themselves.
What motivates me? My friends, seeing things succeed, and my podcast. Oh, and the thought of becoming super successful so I can say, “Told you so!”
I’d describe myself as amazing, kind, and caring. I love supporting others, and my podcast is something I’m super excited about. Recording with my friends is a blast, and I always try to keep things fun. If making people laugh was a skill, I’d have a black belt by now.
Some things that are really important to me are my health (because staying alive is kind of important), spending time outside (gotta touch grass sometimes), and gaming (because being a pro at pressing buttons is a talent).
Right now, I’m working on my podcast, All You Need to Know. Basically, I talk, my co-host talks, and somehow, it turns into something worth listening to. I’m just getting started, figuring out content, and making sure everything doesn’t turn into a complete disaster.
I chose this project because I’ve been trying to start my podcast for a long time, and now I’m finally doing it! (Took me long enough, right?) My goals are to keep posting episodes and get my YouTube and Spotify accounts set up so more people can find it, because what’s the point of making a podcast if my only listeners are my family?
One of the biggest challenges so far has been actually getting everything uploaded and making sure my accounts are ready. Turns out, technology doesn’t always cooperate. Who knew?
I’ve learned that I have to trust the process and my partners. (Yes, even when they forget to hit record.) It really helps to have people I can count on.
I was surprised by how easy it was to put everything together. I thought it would be way harder, but somehow, it just worked! Either I’m a genius, or I got really lucky. Let’s go with the first one.
My next steps are to start uploading my episodes and get as many people as possible to check them out. I’m still figuring out what my next big goal is, but for now, I just want to keep things moving and not accidentally delete anything important.
I’d love to get better at editing and learn how to promote my podcast so I can grow my audience. I’ll know I’m making progress when I’m posting regularly, more people are listening, and I don’t feel like I’m just talking to myself.
One of my absolute favorite things to do is read. I could spend hours getting lost in a good book, whether it's a magical adventure, a funny mystery, or a story about friendship. I love how reading puts me in another world, lets me meet new characters and helps me learn about the world in different ways.

My project is called Zoe Evolution business plan, and it focuses on wanting tweens to be themselves and being confident in their own skin.
-
I chose the Zoe Evolution project because confidence has been a struggle for me for many years, and I want girls to be confident by being reminded every day that they can be themselves.
-
My goal was to Spread the Zoe effect world wide and have 40 girls find their confidence from my products.

Being part of LEAF has helped me… Make friends, build trust, give and take feedback, being responsible, working hard, and learning in every step I take by gaining confidence and releasing my true self without feeling like I don’t belong.
I will continue to grow, reflect, and be the best version of me. You have to inspire yourself first before inspiring others.
