Let’s be honest, we all know about “fake it ‘til you make it,” but what I like to call it is packaging. You don’t have to be living large yet; you just have to look like you’re living large. It’s the kind of confidence that makes people believe you’re the main character in every room you walk into.

Do you ever throw on your best outfit, slap on some lip gloss, and suddenly, the world feels like your runway? That’s packaging, babe! Even if your bank account isn’t matching the vibe, who’s going to check you? No one!

People love an aura, and when you act like you’re already where you want to be, they’ll treat you like it. Whether it’s at work, out with friends, or even just scrolling on social media, owning your space gives off boss energy. In this girl’s corner, we move with intention even if we’re still figuring things out behind the scenes.

So next time you need that extra boost, remember: a little packaging goes a long way. Keep faking it, keep shining, and eventually, you won’t even need to fake it anymore. You’ll be the real deal!
