Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Amelia Webb. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Hi Amelia, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?
Honestly, confidence wasn’t something I was born with — it was something I had to build piece by piece. For a long time, I tied my worth to what other people thought of me, and that’s such an exhausting way to live. I think real confidence came when I stopped performing for approval and started showing up as myself — flaws, quirks, everything.
Working in high-pressure kitchens taught me discipline, but building my online career taught me self-trust. You have to believe in your own instincts when the path you’re on doesn’t look like anyone else’s. Now, confidence for me isn’t about being loud or perfect — it’s about being grounded, peaceful, and proud of who I am, even when I’m still figuring things out.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I always say my work sits at the intersection of creativity and connection. I started out as a sushi chef — so even before social media, I was creating experiences for people. I’ve carried that same mindset into what I do now as a full-time creator. Whether it’s travel content, lifestyle storytelling, or digital projects, my goal is to make people feel something real.
What’s most exciting for me right now is how much freedom there is in the creator space. I’ve built a platform that spans across social media and my subscription-based community, and both allow me to share different sides of myself — the adventurous, the playful, and the deeply human. It’s not just about images or views; it’s about building a space where people feel seen and connected.
Professionally, I’m focused on expanding into larger creative collaborations — particularly around travel, food, and culture — and developing my own original digital series that highlight those themes. I’m also exploring ways to bring my audience offline through branded experiences and events that celebrate community and self-expression.
At the heart of everything I do is authenticity. My brand is about showing that you can start anywhere — a kitchen, a camera, a blank page — and build something that feels completely your own.
There is so much advice out there about all the different skills and qualities folks need to develop in order to succeed in today’s highly competitive environment and often it can feel overwhelming. So, if we had to break it down to just the three that matter most, which three skills or qualities would you focus on?
The three qualities that have shaped my journey the most are self-awareness, consistency, and emotional intelligence.
Self-awareness came first. You have to know who you are — what you value, what motivates you, and where your boundaries are — or other people will define that for you. For me, that meant learning to tune out outside noise and get really honest about what I wanted my life and my work to represent. For anyone just starting out, spend time getting clear on your “why.” That clarity becomes your compass when things get confusing or overwhelming.
The second is consistency. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you only show up when it’s convenient, it won’t go far. I learned that from my years in the kitchen — repetition builds mastery. The same applies to content, business, or any craft. Keep showing up, even when you’re not sure anyone’s watching yet.
Lastly, emotional intelligence has been a game changer. Whether you’re managing a brand, a team, or a community, understanding people — their emotions, needs, and perspectives — is everything. It’s what turns followers into supporters and collaborators into long-term partners. The best way to grow that skill is to listen more than you speak. The more empathy you bring to your work, the stronger your impact will be.
What’s been one of your main areas of growth this year?
My biggest area of growth this past year has been learning to slow down and lead from intention instead of urgency. For a long time, I equated productivity with progress — the more I did, the more I thought I was achieving. But this year taught me that growth can also look like stillness, strategy, and saying no to things that don’t align.
I’ve become more grounded in my decision-making — choosing projects that truly fit my long-term vision rather than chasing short-term attention. That shift has allowed me to create from a place of peace instead of pressure. Personally and professionally, it’s made everything more meaningful. I’m working smarter, creating with more heart, and giving myself the grace to evolve without rushing the process.
