Some days it’s easy to forget how far I’ve come since the beginning of BEX.
Five years ago, I was working for someone else, struggling to make ends meet, and carrying around all this creativity with no real place to put it. I knew I was artistic. I knew I had something in me. I just didn’t fully believe I was allowed to take up space with it yet.
The first real shift happened because of something small: I posted a crochet Baby Yoda I made for my son on Instagram. Someone saw it, reached out, and asked if I could make pieces for their shop. That tiny moment cracked something open.
For the next couple of years, I did markets, built slowly, experimented, learned. But honestly, the biggest change wasn’t external. It was internal.

I stopped letting fear make my decisions for me.

I started approaching life with curiosity instead of intimidation. I said yes to networking events. To writing. To being visible. To opportunities that scared me. I stopped waiting to feel fully ready before trying something new.
And somewhere along the way, BEX became more than a business. It became proof that most of the things we want live on the other side of fear.
What I’m maybe proudest of, though, is that I’ve stayed open through it all. There have been disappointments, setbacks, betrayals, moments that could’ve easily made me cynical or smaller. But I think there’s a real kind of power in remaining soft. In continuing to create, connect, trust your intuition, and move through the world with an open heart anyway.

BEX has evolved so much over the years, but the core of it has stayed the same:
build honestly, stay curious, and don’t let fear decide who you become.
