Today we’d like to introduce you to Caché Lennon.
Hi Caché, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Sure I can! Growing up around the time you enter high school, that’s when the question starts. “ what do you want to be when you grow up?” I hated that question. Truth is, I hated it because I couldn’t answer the question. I didn’t know what I wanted to be. I’ve always thought to myself I’m just a kid, mentally and emotionally undeveloped… I know nothing “ How are people asking me to make a decision that can predict the next 40-50 years of my life?” That was so scary. I also thought, “Why is this normal?” I knew I was immature, I knew I had much growing to do, and I knew my feelings were fickle. One day I liked something, then the next day I didn’t. I thought to myself that I had some growing and exploring to do so HOW and WHY are adults allowing kids from 14-17 to make a long-term decision that could determine how we spend the rest of their lives…. I also noticed a lot of the answers other kids were giving had something to do with a college degree. I wondered, “How were they so sure?” Some said lawyers, doctors, etc. & if you didn’t give answers of that sort you were questioned and doubted. The way I looked at it was my family, and the guidance counselors were all asking and expecting me to know what it is id like to do for the rest of my life with no aid, and without me having any prior knowledge about what these careers are and the lifestyle that comes with it, but when I do give them an answer or say idk… im frowned upon. If I did pick something, I didn’t even know if I’d like whichever profession I chose 20 years later…
Do you see why I hated the question? Growing up, there was no college graduate in my family. No one in my family went to college. Although I love them, no one had the lifestyle that I wanted. Although I couldn’t necessarily understand or articulate what I wanted, I knew what I didn’t want. My family took very good care of all of us. We always had food, shelter, and clothes. They worked hard to give us a good life, which they did successfully. With so little they made it work, and they gave us everything we wanted, but I always knew there was a lack of money.
Growing up I can’t say there was much I was interested in. At least not interested enough to do for the rest of my life. I used to think there was something wrong with me because how can my peers confidentially pick a college major, and pick the kind of job they’d like to have, and I can’t. I felt lost, I felt like I was running out of time. I knew the lifestyle I wanted I just didn’t know what was going to get me there. I went from wanting to be a lawyer (because everyone says they make money), to studying business in college, to selling products in a network marketing business and working on my personal development. I spent years seeking outside knowledge. I always heard the sayings “You don’t know what you don’t know” and “A man can only reach the level of success of his mindset”. So I always figured knowledge is one of the most powerful components to living a successful life. At around 18/19 I started to read about 2-3 books a month. I read the compound effect, rich dad poor dad, the secret, the four agreements, the magic of thinking big, and many others. One book alone blew my mind and from there, my perspective on everything started to change. I contributed a lot of my mindset to those books and the people I was around at the time. It was a mix of enlightenment, intellectual expansion, a sense of revelation, and a newfound clarity, where you feel like you’ve gained a new lens through which to view the world, often accompanied by a sense of wonder and a desire to explore further. I changed a lot, my mindset, my personal development, everything changed. In a really good way. It’s such a paradigm shift where you learn a lot of new information but realize how ignorant you were due to the lack of information and knowledge you once had.
I used to follow motivational pages and one day entrepreneur Garvyvee on Instagram kept emphasizing people under 30 should just flat out “ try shit” based on stuff you like, without fear of any what-ifs or failure. And that day something clicked. The way he described it was when you have a career doing something that you like, you have the energy to do it every single day 10+ hours a day. And regardless of what it is, those hours, that time, that dedication is what contributes to your success. He kept just emphasizing that we do something, we try something, and go from there. It was such a pivotal moment for me because I always thought that “thing” was supposed to fall in your lap and come to you naturally. I never looked at it from a point of curiosity and exploration. I realized I always had interests but I just never knew I could succeed doing those things. Shortly after I decided to go back to cosmetology school and get my license ( which I did ). I always enjoyed getting dolled up and doing my hair. I never realized how naturally good I was at it, and when I did I realize, I decided that this can be one of the things I use to get me where I want to go. Toward the second half of cosmetology school, I applied for a job and got my CDL license. I wanted a good-paying job that could also give me the flexibility to chase my dreams but still pay for my current lifestyle. We are a week away from 2025 and I honestly see myself achieving all my goals and for that I’m proud.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road hasn’t been smooth, not by any means. At 25, I can finally say this is the most stable my life has been, and it’s a result of a lot of hard work, better decisions, and personal growth over the last year. But it hasn’t been easy, and I’ve faced my fair share of challenges. I’ve always said my life has been tough, but I also recognize that there are people who have had it much worse.
Growing up, I lived in a very dysfunctional and toxic household. There was constant tension, Add to that the bullying I faced at school and by some family members. It was easy to feel like I was drowning. I struggled to connect with my parents. Often times I felt misunderstood and worthless. I battled with self-harm and even had suicidal thoughts at various points. It seems crazy to even say that out loud, but it was a reality for me.
For a long time, I didn’t know how to cope. I tried to make sense of everything, but it took time to fully accept that this was the situation I was in—this was the hand I was dealt. Healing wasn’t immediate, and even though I tried to deal with past wounds, life kept throwing new challenges my way. But through it all, I learned a lot about resilience.
Looking back now, I can honestly say that those dark moments shaped me. They taught me to be strong, to manage my emotions, and to handle adversity in a way I never thought I could. My past struggles have given me a deep understanding of life and the strength to face tough situations with a measured approach. I’ve matured in ways I never imagined, and now, even when life gets hard, I don’t crumble—I take it in stride and keep pushing forward.
I’ve become a more driven, focused person. I’ve learned to prioritize my mental and emotional well-being and to take the lessons from the past and apply them to the present. If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that I’m much stronger than I was before. I’m no longer defined by my struggles, but by how I’ve overcome them and the person I’ve become in the process.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
Currently, I juggle multiple roles—by day, I’m a commercial driver, and by night, I’m a content creator on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, and a licensed cosmetologist. It’s a unique mix, but I love it. My primary focus is on beauty content; for the past couple of years, I’ve been sharing videos of myself doing my makeup and hair, and I’ve also been taking on clients. What I’m most proud of is my ability to keep pushing forward, even when the road gets tough. I’ve put in a lot of hard work, and I’ve remained persistent in my pursuit of growth, both personally and professionally. While I’m not exactly where I want to be yet, I’m steadily making progress, and I can see myself getting there.
What sets me apart, I think, is my individuality. I approach everything I do with a unique perspective, whether it’s my content creation or working with clients. I also have a mature mindset that allows me to stay grounded and realistic, even when things don’t go as planned. I’m able to stay focused on the bigger picture, understanding that life is a journey, and not every step is going to be perfect. That understanding gives me a level of patience and determination that’s helped me stay consistent in everything I do.
At the end of the day, it’s my blend of hard work, persistence, and the balance of passion and practicality that I think sets me apart. I’m not just trying to make it—I’m focused on the long-term, and I know the work I’m putting in now will eventually lead to the success I’m striving for.
What were you like growing up?
Growing up, I was someone who kept to myself a lot. I preferred my own company, and I could spend hours just thinking, observing, or diving deep into whatever caught my curiosity at the time. I was always very attentive to the world around me, noticing details that others might miss, but I didn’t feel the need to share every thought or observation.
I was impulsive in the sense that when something sparked my interest, I would dive into it wholeheartedly without much hesitation. Whether it was a new idea, a hobby, or a project, I’d get fully absorbed, often to the point where I’d forget everything else. My curiosity had a magnetic pull, and I felt the need to explore things deeply, sometimes without thinking too far ahead about the consequences.
At the same time, I had a strong sense of what I wanted. I was very stubborn—once I made up my mind about something, it was hard to change it. This made me decisive, and when I wanted to do something, I would move forward with confidence, even if others didn’t understand it. I was aware of my thoughts and feelings, almost too much at times, and I would challenge myself to think differently, to see things from a new angle.
I was quiet. I was always processing everything around me. I didn’t always feel the need to talk, but I was always paying attention—watching how people behaved, listening carefully, and picking up on nuances that others might overlook.
I also valued independence a lot. I was a free thinker, someone who preferred to come to my own conclusions and carve my own path. I often rejected advice and guidance, I needed to see things for myself and make decisions based on my own understanding.
All in all, I think I was a bit of a paradox—quiet yet impulsive, observant but headstrong. But those qualities shaped a lot of who I am today.
