1. When you think about your life as a “before and after,” what moment sits at the center of that turning point—and what changed in you, not just around you?

I remember coming home and just collapsing in tears because I hated myself so much. Years of bullying, isolation, and being doubted by people around me left deep scars. For a long time, I kept searching outward — for love, validation, support, and belonging — without realizing that everything I was looking for was already within me. The real turning point came when I stopped trying to fix how the world saw me and started learning how to see myself clearly. I began to understand that being Autistic and having ADHD aren’t limitations — they’re part of my design. I’m not broken; I’m built differently. I scored in the top 1% globally on the WAIS IQ for spatial reasoning, which means my mind sees structure, emotion, and design in ways that most people can’t. Once I embraced that, I stopped fighting my mind and started collaborating with it.

That’s also where Eleable was born — from the realization that every mind deserves to feel seen, supported, and understood. I created a company rooted in Digital Design Psychology™ to help others do the same: to align their digital presence with who they truly are, to stop masking, and to express their authenticity with confidence and clarity. Because the truth is, your mindset shapes your entire reality. When your energy is focused in the wrong direction, you call in the wrong things. But when you turn inward — when you finally work with your mind instead of against it — you start attracting everything meant for you. Every person you meet, every opportunity, becomes a reflection of that inner alignment.

2. Was there a belief about yourself that you had to unlearn to step into who you are now? What was the cost of holding onto it too long?

I used to believe I was the ugliest person to ever walk this planet. But deep down, I know I never truly believed that — I was simply carrying the projections of others. I internalized their opinions, their insecurities, their judgments, and mistook them for my own truth. For a long time, I also thought I was unintelligent — that my mind worked “wrong.” But over time, I learned that it wasn’t my mind that was broken; it was my perspective that had been shaped by the voices around me. I am a Savant. A literal Savant. The real shift came when I realized I didn’t have to let anyone define me — not society, not labels, not even the versions of me that others tried to create. The only definition that matters is who I choose to call myself, and ultimately, who God calls me to be.

Every person on this earth carries something uniquely beautiful — something divine. Once you truly grasp that, external validation loses its power. You start walking differently, creating differently, and showing up with an energy that radiates from within. And if someone chooses to project negativity onto you, that’s not your burden to hold. When your heart is in the right place — when you’re leading with love, compassion, and authenticity — what they see is their reflection, not yours.

That mindset has become the foundation of everything I build through Eleable. My mission is to help others step out of projection and into self-perception — to design lives, brands, and digital spaces that reflect their truth, not their trauma. Because when you truly see yourself as whole, complete, and worthy, your entire digital presence — and your entire world — begins to align.

3. Your work has resonance—people feel you. Where do you think your voice was born: from joy, from pain, from rebellion, or from something ancestral?

Honestly, I think my voice was born from a little bit of everything — joy, pain, rebellion, and something deeply ancestral. The world is so interconnected; every experience we have, whether light or dark, becomes part of the lesson we’re here to learn so we can step into the blessing meant for our lives. I’ve lived through moments of deep joy that shaped my compassion, and I’ve faced pain that tested my strength. For a long time, I would retell stories about how people hurt me — the things they said, the ways they doubted me. But eventually, I realized that where I place my energy determines the reality I create. So now, I focus that energy on what matters — on progress, love, and purpose.

I’ve learned that we can’t live in the past. The past only exists to teach us what we need to know so we can be present, grounded, and ready for what’s next. Every experience — the good, the bad, the ugly — all of it shaped who I’ve become. Now, my entire mission, both personally and through Eleable, is to pour that understanding into everything I create — to help others turn their own stories into sources of empowerment. Because when you live as a pure embodiment of love, nothing can truly harm you. Love becomes your armor, your compass, and your energy source. And from that space, you don’t just exist — you elevate.

4. When the world sees you as “rising,” what part of you is still learning how to stand?

I’m not learning how to stand anymore. I just am.

5. What is something you are still healing, even now, even with the visibility and the validation?

I’m still learning to focus my intention inward. It’s easy to get caught up in the noise – the visibility, the validation, the applause. I have 101.9K Followers on TikTok and while those moments feel good, they aren’t what sustain me. The truest validation has always come from within. When I focus on how I feel — what I value, what I’m creating, what I believe — I feel aligned. I feel grounded. That’s when I’m at my best. Every time I drift into seeking approval or measuring myself by how others see me, I lose that center. I become disconnected from the very essence that built me. So now, I remind myself that peace doesn’t live in perception — it lives in presence. And that’s the space I try to create through Eleable: one where authenticity begins on the inside and flows outward, shaping the kind of impact that feels good because it’s true.

6. There’s often a quiet moment before self-trust becomes real. Do you remember when you first realized you could trust yourself with your own becoming?

I have always had self trust. I think everyone has everything they want from the start. I am very intentional with my verbiage because words are very powerful. But the realization came a few months ago — that quiet moment when self-trust became real for me. I realized there is absolutely nothing on this earth that can define you but you. We spend so much of life collecting labels, chasing titles, and searching outward for love, happiness, or even spirituality. But none of it holds the same power as what already exists within. The most authentic truth you’ll ever know lives inside you — untouched, unfiltered, and already complete. Once I accepted that, I stopped seeking permission to exist as myself. Now, every part of what I create — from my mindset to Eleable — is rooted in that knowing. Because when you trust yourself enough to define your own meaning, your entire reality starts to align. The world stops feeling like something you have to fit into, and instead becomes something you design from the inside out.

7. Your journey holds creativity, leadership, neurodiversity, and self-definition. Which part of your identity took the longest to claim publicly, and why?

For a long time, I believed I didn’t like myself because I was Autistic and had ADHD. My state of being made people look at me differently naturally. I used to worry about the outside so much it bothered me immensely. Everywhere I went, people wanted me to change — to shrink, to blend in, to meet standards that were never built for someone like me. I was constantly being measured by systems that weren’t made to include me. But over time, I realized that my neurodivergence isn’t something to hide or fix — it’s a gift. My brain processes emotion, creativity, and connection differently, and that difference is my superpower. That realization is what fuels everything I do through Eleable and my nonprofit NDverse. Both were built to help the world see neurodiversity not as a limitation, but as a spectrum of brilliance — a celebration of human design. Because if all the crayons in the box were white, the world wouldn’t be very fun to color. Diversity is what makes creation meaningful — and inclusion is what makes it beautiful.

8. What have you learned about being witnessed — especially online — while your evolution is ongoing and imperfect?

I have learned that people see everything. People make assumptions. But none of it matters, what matters is trusting yourself and knowing who you are.

9. When you look back at the younger you who didn’t yet have the tools or language you have now, what would you thank them for?

I would thank my younger self for teaching me the beauty of being unique — for never letting go of the light that made me different. I’d thank them for showing me the beauty of seeing the real side of people, and for still being able to hold compassion — to see others as whole and complete, even when their behavior wasn’t kind. And I’d thank them for understanding that everyone we meet is a mirror. Every interaction, even the painful ones, reflects something we’re meant to see and heal within ourselves. That lesson — to love people as they are, without losing yourself — is the kind of wisdom that only comes from living, feeling, and choosing to keep your heart open.

10. Success has texture. What does success feel like in your body—not look like, but feel like?

Success feels like a spark of energy. It’s this fire within me that could burn the whole house down if I let it — yet, at the same time, it has the power to keep people warm in a calmness. It’s intensity and compassion existing in the same space. That balance between creation and chaos, between passion and peace. Success, for me, isn’t calm — it’s alive. It’s movement, emotion, and purpose all colliding in a way that feels electric but deeply human.

11. What is a narrative you once believed that you now understand was never meant for you?

For a long time, I believed a lie  that I was fat, ugly, and worthless, that I didn’t deserve to exist. Those words were never mine, but I carried them like they were. Eventually, I realized that every cruel thing said to me was just projection — people trying to make me feel small because they couldn’t handle my light. It was never the truth of who I am. Now I know: I’m not broken. I’m radiant, intelligent, and deeply human. And the moment I stopped believing the lie, my entire life shifted. I learned that no one gets to define your value. You do.

12. Where does your creativity come from? Is it fueled by rest, pressure, curiosity, divine timing, or something else?

I scored in the top 1% globally on the WAIS IQ for spatial reasoning — higher than 99% of the population. Creativity has always come naturally to me, but I’ve learned that it isn’t something you find; it’s something you remember within yourself. Everything I create — whether it’s art, strategy, or design — starts from a quiet space inside me. It’s not about chasing inspiration; it’s about listening to it. Creativity, for me, isn’t external. It’s energy that already exists within — I just translate it into form.

13. What is the lesson life keeps trying to teach you again and again — and how are you listening differently now?

The lesson life keeps teaching me is that I don’t have to focus outward — that everything I need is already within me. My peace, my clarity, my purpose — they all begin inside. I wear a bracelet much like a Kabbalah, but my own version of it because I make the rules… it’s a a daily reminder of my truth. It’s my quiet commitment to myself and a promise to keep my intention inward, to stay aligned, and to trust that when I’m centered, everything around me naturally aligns too. And to always be a full embodiment of love in every interaction I have. Love is always the answer.

14. If you could offer your audience one truth — not content, not brand, just truth — what would it be?

You have the power to shape any reality you desire into existence — and to flood the world with love while you do it. You are loved. You are love. And you are worthy of love. Everything begins there — not in achievement, not in perfection, but in the quiet remembering that love is both your origin and your purpose.

15. What part of your unfolding are you still afraid to share — and what do you imagine would happen if you shared it?

I’m fearless. There’s nothing I’m afraid to share about myself anymore. I’ve lived too much life trying to hide — now I just am. I am who I say I am. That’s why my TikTok username and all my social media have the username, @iamgabeato — because I’ve learned that authenticity is the most powerful form of freedom. When you stand fully in your truth, there’s nothing left to fear. I believe everyone should just live in freedom and know that this life is not meant for you to be scared to embody who you are. Just be.
