Don’t Just Survive—STORYTELL IT: Why I’m Obsessed with CapCut Right Now
CapCut = The Nerd-Approved Way to Make Your Message Magnetic
Hey Thrivers,
Let’s be honest…when you’ve been through some things, telling your story can feel like walking barefoot on gravel. You want to speak, share, shine… but editing video, figuring out what format works where, and trying to look like you have it all together? Yeah. Exhausting.
And you might not have it all together so operating with a toolbox that’s half open or busy elsewhere isn’t exactly easy!
And yet… that voice in you keeps saying, "It’s time to be seen. It’s time to be heard."
So I’m here to let you in on one of my current favorite tools: CapCut.
Wait, what is CapCut?
Think of it like the Swiss Army knife of video editing, except it doesn’t make you want to throw your laptop out the window. Seriously.
CapCut gives you:
Pre-made templates that do the heavy lifting (just swap in your clips, and boom—you’re a reel-making wizard). (See the “CapCut trend” in captions on TikTok - it’s a TikTok company.)
Easy drag-and-drop tools for text, transitions, music, and filters.
AI features that magically remove backgrounds, generate captions, and even suggest trending video formats based on your content style.
It works on desktop or mobile, so no excuses—if you’ve got a story, you’ve got a way to tell it.
Real Talk from The Nerd:
I’ve used fancy software before. I still do for certain clients and projects.
I’ve also sat there with seven browser tabs open, trying to edit a reel I never even posted. CapCut? It’s the tool I now recommend to every DIY Business owner, healer, whistleblower, spa owner, and survivor-turned-creator in our THRIVERS network.
You don’t need a marketing team.
You don’t need to wait until you’re fully healed.
You just need your voice, your story, and a little help bringing it to life.
CapCut makes your story look like it came with a production budget—even when you filmed it in your car, in between flashbacks, after drinking cold herbal tea from a mason jar (no judgment, that’s literally me last week- but it was full moon water…) you can do this. The world wants to hear your story… make it easy on yourself for them to “get it.”
