Rough along the way but with incredible support

Surgeries and bullying came often and there was a constant emotional battle on how I should react and live y life.

I can tell details but you can find them on my most watched YouTube videos as well.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your business?
My mom told me when I was young and had just got made fun of by an adult in a supermarket to make a difference because I was born different.

She told me when the good or bad attention would come in my life, that I should choose to standout instead of trying to fit in.

I have a documentary and book coming out in 2025 produced by Tanner and TC Christensen

Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
