The last area I'm leaning into more this year is UGC, and this one feels especially personal.

UGC has always interested me because at its core, it's all about real people and real moments. Not polished perfection, not overproduced campaigns, but content that feels lived-in. Content that reflects everyday experiences in a way people can actually relate to . That's what draws me to it , and that's what I want to create more of this year.

In the past , I sometimes overthought UGC. I worried about doing it right and how it woud be received , or whether it was good enough to be shared. I am shifting that mindset, I'm excited about UGC because I'm giving myself permission to create work that feels real, experiment more openly and trust my perspective.

What I want to focus on is authenticity. Creating content that feels natural and not forced. Content that fits into real routines and real lives . I am interested in learning how to tell better stories through simple moments, how to communicate value without overexplaining, and how to create work that feels genuine rather than performative.

UGC this year isn’t about chasing perfection or comparing myself to creators who are ten steps ahead. It’s about consistency, confidence, and growth. It’s about building a body of work I’m proud of, one piece at a time, and letting improvement come through practice instead of pressure.

I’m also excited about the learning process. Understanding what resonates, refining my style, and becoming more intentional with the content I put out. Not everything will land, and that’s okay. Each piece teaches me something, even when it doesn’t perform the way I expect.

So in 2026, UGC is about showing up as I am, creating with purpose, and trusting that real, thoughtful content always finds its place. This is the space where I get to experiment, express, and grow, and I’m looking forward to seeing where it leads.
