Flip the switch!! - This #JadeSelfLove Sunday I wanted to talk about adopting tunnel vision. - I think it’s important to remember that high performers didn’t get to where they are on accident. - Who do you look up to? It’s likely that they put a disproportionate amount of effort toward their craft. - I’d like to challenge myself and others to really make that push and go all in on our goals @fit2beitofficial #fliptheswitch

It’s true i signed up for @soundtracknetflix after a meeting with @joshsafran without reading a script. When life gives you opportunities to be creative, play and have fun like this, you take it. Thank you Josh for helping me live out my fantasy of starring in my own music video in a patent leather catsuit 😂🐱 This and much more in @soundtracknetflix out today on @netflix!
