flop era survivor: five ways to protect your slay

from Friend Crush with Amber Akilla

following from my previous "how to turn a flop into a flopportunity" video - once you've survived the flop, here are five things to consider when maintaining and protecting your slay. after a challenging or down period, its easy to become careless or develop blindspots once we think we've moved on from something, but that can also lead to blindspots and creating an unsustainable cycle. these are some mindset shifts that have helped me to feel like i'm actually growing, transforming and being hot and having fun, rather than being on a floppercoaster.
