Experimenting with Custom GPT’s
I created these custom GPTs mostly because I wanted to experiment and learn more about how to build them.

Through a “friction audit,” I uncovered emotional, cognitive, and behavioral barriers holding me back.

If meditation (or any goal) feels like a struggle for you too, this post will guide you through unpacking the resistance, finding momentum, and embracing the messy middle. Let’s grow through the grind together.

Video Production - Summer Semester 2022
