Written with the help of Microsoft CoPilot - I just gave it the concepts based on results. I found this as a result of being a member of Arlan Hamilton's first $5K club. I'm meeting a lot of amazing souls during this training. I've been watching Rebecca Marina's video above and it's helping me get over my on camera apprehensions of being to 'old, ugly, epiliptic and angry', what Shirley MacLaine's character in Steel Magnolias was accused of 'being to hot for color tv.' AI described what I felt.
"Putting Your Best Self Forward at Cyber Gatherings
This morning, a video found me—one of those serendipitous nudges that arrives just when you're ready to receive it. It was a gentle yet powerful invitation to reconnect with the body, breath, and presence before stepping into the digital spotlight.
The exercises shared are simple, grounding, and surprisingly transformative. After doing them, I felt more aligned, more open, and—perhaps most importantly—more inclined to show up on camera as my whole self.
For many of us, the idea of being seen in virtual spaces can stir up discomfort. We worry about lighting, angles, background noise, or whether we’re “camera-ready.” But what if readiness isn’t about perfection—it’s about presence?
💡 Presence > Perfection
A few minutes of breathwork, gentle movement, and intention-setting can shift everything. It’s not about performing; it’s about arriving.
So for guests, collaborators, and community members who feel hesitant about showing up on screen, I invite you to explore these practices. I’ll be sharing more in a blog series on “Hemp Resilience - Cannabis Cyber Party!"
Because your voice, your story, and your presence matter—and the world is ready to receive you.
Let’s meet each other in the digital space with authenticity, grace, and a little bit of grounded magic."
