What if I told you that the glitter wasn’t always glamour? That behind the pink paint and rainbow lights of my pop-up portals, I was quietly unraveling? This isn’t a Cinderella story — it’s a self-rescue mission wrapped in chaos, AI, heartbreak, and a shit-ton of sparkle.

Here is a preview Ep 24:

 

You’ve seen the installations. You’ve maybe even stepped into one. But what you didn’t see was me — dragging furniture in the dark, painting sets while my kid slept, answering emails in tears, and hiding behind the curtain while my ex-husband took the spotlight.

I built a whole magical world and let someone else play the main character because I was terrified of being seen. Agoraphobia. Erythrophobia. Panic attacks. The fear of being judged. Or worse — being seen and still not being chosen.

But then? Everything collapsed.

My marriage. My business. My bank account. My mental health.

That was my "Final Countdown."

And right as the world seemed to fall apart — the portal opened. Not a glittery selfie portal this time, but a digital one. A revolution in tech that let my imagination finally catch up with reality.

Midjourney started painting what I couldn’t put into words. HeyGen gave my avatar — AI-ngelina Mi Lajki — a voice when I couldn’t find mine. ElevenLabs helped me speak again, even on the days I felt like a ghost of myself.

And I realized: I didn’t need a big team. Or permission. Or perfection.

I needed power. And AI handed me the damn keys.

I didn’t just find one voice. I found ALL my voices. My alter ego army. My sparkle squad of digital sidekicks. Each one holding a part of the self I’d buried beneath burnout and betrayal.

So I turned pain into portals. Shame into showstoppers. Fear into fuel.

And I started building again — but this time? For me. In sweatpants. With snacks. On my terms.

That’s how Level Up Your Selfie was born — a masterclass made from scars and sequins. A guide for every creative soul who’s ever felt invisible or stuck or too broken to try again.

This blog post? It’s not just a recap of a podcast episode. It’s a reminder.

You’re not behind. You’re just one breakdown away from your breakthrough.

Cue the glitter. Cue the glow-up. Cue the final countdown.
