Why I Started Mind Expanding Ideas

"I remember starting this blog with one thing in mind..."

To finally stop sitting on ideas that stirred in my soul.

There comes a moment when your excuses run out. The “when I have more time,” “when it’s perfect,” or “when I feel ready” echo so loudly, they drown out your momentum. I hit that moment. Not with a bang—but with a quiet, firm decision that I was tired of waiting for permission to build something I deeply believed in.

That’s how Mind Expanding Ideas was born. Not out of perfect conditions. Not with a huge audience or fancy tools. Just with clarity: I wanted to create a platform that challenges how we think about work, innovation, and possibility—especially for people like me who’ve spent years contributing behind the scenes, building other people’s visions.

This platform started as a whisper. A few saved ideas. Scribbled outlines. Loose titles. But the more I leaned in, the more it grew. I stopped questioning if I was “too late” or “too unknown” and started trusting the fact that no one else had my voice, my journey, or my lens. And that was enough.

The Doubt Was Loud—But I Was Louder

What held me back the longest wasn’t skill or even time—it was doubt.

Doubt that my ideas would matter. Doubt that anyone would listen. Doubt that it was even worth starting when there are already “thought leaders” and “big names” in the space.

But something shifted. I realized I wasn’t here to replicate—I was here to resonate.

This platform is a space for fresh, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable conversations about the future of work, creativity, and leadership. It’s for people who are building while still figuring it out. For the visionaries who don’t always feel seen in traditional spaces. For the builders, creators, and deep thinkers who are just now giving themselves permission to be bold.

What I’ve Learned About Myself

Launching Mind Expanding Ideas showed me that I’m not just a behind-the-scenes strategist—I’m a creator. A visionary. A voice.

And maybe the most surprising lesson? Starting is momentum. Once I let go of perfection, the ideas flowed. The message sharpened. The people began to find it.

I learned that belief doesn’t come before the work—it grows because of the work. And that the moment you start treating your ideas like they matter, other people will, too.

 

If you’ve been sitting on something powerful, let this be your nudge: Start. Start messy. Start small. Start now. But start.

Because your ideas? They’re not just yours. They’re seeds that need soil.

And Mind Expanding Ideas—well, this is mine finally blooming.
