Carly was one of my first interns back in 2019 [picture this: only 4 clients and my vision]. Once the timing was right and I was in a place to do so [August 2021], I asked her to come on as my first salaried employee and even more MAJOR.. MY COO!!

Carly has been by my side since the very beginning and her story is such an inspirational one! Not many people can say they became the COO of a company at 24 years old. This story will give you chills and show you that you don't have to be like everyone else, you can have your own journey and when you find peace in that, everything will align. We also talk about Carly's experience leaving a small town in South Carolina to live in different states month to month, not settling and finding her own independence. This episode is a special one for me! Enjoy!

Something about me is I LOVE meeting new people and making new friendships! I've been this way ever since moving to New York City in 2013. I'm a different person each chapter of my life so it's important that I allow new energies into my life along the way that align with the person that I am becoming.

We are seeing the highest number of Influencer events, trips and festival houses than ever before. Are they beneficial for the brand? I discuss my thoughts on the recent ones that we've been seeing and if I felt that they were a success in terms of ROI. I also share some insight into tactics that would help the brands maximize efforts for these initiatives to ensure that they receive sales, brand awareness and relevance. 

Grab some rosé and join the girls and me for our first zink after dark chat!

The social media landscape is changing and evolving year after year. From 2014 to 2023 and with the rapid rise of TikTok, the space has gotten saturated with a high number of creators therefore providing brands and agencies with a high number options to choose from. Brands have also officially jumped on the TikTok bandwagon to appeal to the Gen Z target demographic and we've seen them now prioritizing Influential yet authentic creators on the app that have consistently high views. Let's dive into the topic where I share what I have been seeing so far this year and answering everyone's number one question "Are budgets lower this year?"

I met Kyleen two years ago in LA through mutual friends. This was the same time that she had made one of the most important as well as hardest decisions and started navigating what that next phase of life looked like. I remember thinking how much I admired her bravery and ultimately doing what she knew was the right decision even though it was an extremely difficult one to make.

I truly believe that people come into our lives for a reason, season, or lifetime. It's up to us to follow our intuition and be aware of when someone's time with us has run its course and what the reason is for our human connection with them.

Kyleen's story is a powerful one and I'm so grateful that she shared it with us. 

Negative life experiences can leave us lacking confidence and playing the comparison game. After years of companies not listening to my ideas and finding myself in toxic relationships I was able to reclaim my confidence back. I now lead with confidence and embody it in every way that I can. Lets all have 'cut the line' energy and remove anything in our lives taking away from our self worth - it's time!

I LOVED this chat with Morgan Harvill [singer, songwriter, actress, influencer] and we cover everything from relationships and social media to going viral on TikTok. We discuss coming into confidence throughout our 20's, relationship non negotiables and our thoughts on partners having toxic behaviors on social media. Morgan shares how she gained a large following on Instagram in 2016, her facetune era years back [image dysmorphia], coming into her confidence, finding a community on social media and tips / tricks for going viral. We also briefly chat about her experience with being an Actress in Los Angeles!

Everyone has guardian angels / spirit guides who help them stay on course. We often mistake things not working out as us not being worthy enough, smart enough, pretty enough when in reality the reason is that it is simply just not meant for you. While you're evolving your spirit guides will help you dodge what is not meant to be part of your journey. It's up to you to understand, accept and keep moving forward towards what is meant to come into your life.
