Last week I heckled a man with a gun. It’s the PERFECT way to kick off my IDGAF era!
I’ll tell you the story in this episode of That’s What She Said.
WHAT DOES YOUR IDGAF ERA MEAN, KRISTEN?
Since I started a business 15 years ago, I’ve made things with all of my heart and soul. I’ve cared about every creation so deeply that I could hardly speak about it. I then followed a general pattern of undervaluing my work, beginning to value it, and then pricing myself right out of the market as I gained confidence.
It happened with photography, with ghostwriting, with straight-up writing, and with business coaching over the course of the past 15 years.
Throughout time, I’ve consciously asked: how do I make meaning through the ways that I make money?
For the first time, here’s what I’m doing:
I’m gonna play.
I’m gonna make products.
If they work, great.
If they don’t work, great.
I’m consciously untying money from meaning in 2024.
This translates to creating a number of biz experiments just to see what happens. Some are private, some are public, some will use my real name, and some a pseudonym.
This is about holding my creations as they relate to capitalism a little more loosely, giving my ideas room to breathe, and reporting back about what I find.
My IDGAF era is for stretching those
purely-for-the-hell-of-it
muscles.
EXPERIMENT #1:
I’ve created literal IDGAF jewelry for my new experimental shop, Goldenswift!
These talismans are inspired by Taylor Swift’s use of the word ‘Eras’ to describe life phases.
⚡️ Grab your IDGAF era jewelry at Goldenswift.
P.S. On your own journey to IDGAF, may I suggest creating a NO Collection? 😉
