    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?"

  • ++ episode 26: navigating life after love and breaking into the Interior Design industry feat. Kyleen Kopelson

    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.

  • ++ episode 25: reclaiming your confidence

    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!

  • ++ episode 23: spirit guides, accepting that not everything you [think] you want is meant to be part of your journey [dating, jobs, locations] and turning challenges into beauty

    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.

  • ++ episode 21: the evolution of Influencers 2018 until now

    The social media landscape has changed drastically in the past 5 years. From blog posts in 2018 to GRWM's in 2023. I talk through my experience as an Influencer Agent throughout these years and all of the changes that I have seen. This is an ever changing industry which is exciting and opens the door for new creators to blow up, but also brings stress to creators who struggle with changing what they are used to with a new era of trends.
