On today’s episode, Lauren Berty joins us to discuss key tips for monetizing as a social media influencer and what she wishes she knew.

Lauren is a mother, Creative Director, Social Media Strategist, and Content Creator at That Twin Mama, and host of That Twin Mama Podcast! Lauren and her Grammy award-winning husband became twin parents in 2020 with the unexpected birth of their Covid twins who joined their teenage big brother.
