The moment I almost didn’t start my YouTube channel

Sep 10, 2025

I almost talked myself out of starting my channel.

Not because I didn’t believe in what I had to share…
But because it already felt like everyone else was doing it.

I remember looking at the other security and smart home tech channels on YouTube and thinking:

“Do we really need another one of these?”

There were already tons of creators: survivalists, tech guys, gear reviewers. All talking shop. Loud. Confident. Expert-y.

And then there was me.

Not a prepper. Not a tech bro.
Just a professional woman, a mom, a dealer who knew this stuff; and wanted to actually help people. Especially the women, parents, and grandparents no one was really talking to.

I wasn’t like them.
And at first, I thought that was a problem.

But it turns out, that was the whole point.

That difference became my lane.
And that lane became my community.

So if you’ve been holding back — if you’ve wondered whether there’s still room for your voice — I get it. That fear is real.

But I promise you this: the niche isn’t too crowded.
Your voice just hasn’t been heard yet.

Your perspective isn’t a liability — it’s your edge.

The Content That Kept Working (Even While I Slept)
Hey {{contact.first_name | default: "there"}}, Can I tell you about the moment everything shifted for me? A year ago, I created a simple video answering a question I'd heard a hundred times: "How do I keep my college student safe in their dorm room?" Nothing fancy. Just me, my phone, and the expertise I'd built over 30 years in the security business. Fast forward a year: that video was STILL e...
She trusted me before we ever spoke
Have you ever had someone book a call and say, “I feel like I already know you”? That happened to me recently. She hadn’t filled out a contact form. We hadn’t exchanged a single email. But she showed up to our first call already trusting me. Why? Because she had found one of my YouTube videos in a moment of doubt. And it made her feel seen. This is the quiet power of video. If you’re a service-...
What if your legacy isn’t what you leave behind?
They don’t always wait for us to hand it off. I once ran for city council against a Baby Boomer who’d held the seat for 17 years.I lost.A Millennial won. No drama, no regrets. He’s doing an incredible job. But it was a wake-up call.Because Gen X got skipped. Not just in politics, but in business, leadership, and opportunity.We’re not burned out from doing too much; we’re weary from systems that...
