Rise of Her

In this episode, I'm joined by Bonnie James (@bonnierebecca) a Brisbane-based content creator with 400K+ followers across TikTok and Instagram.She's spent years building an audience around body neutrality, and vulnerability, and today she's sharing her story, how the content world actually works behind the scenes, and an honest take on growing a following, working with brands, and staying sane while doing it.

We talk about:

• How Bonnie got started creating content
• The real breakdown of being a creator and how she does it
• Behind the scenes of content creation: planning, filming, editing, burnout
• Brand deals, sponsorships, and knowing your worth as a creator
• Managing your state and mental health

In this candid, unfiltered conversation, Roxanne chats with content creator Karlee Deane about what it actually means to show up online as your full, true, human self.

We talk about the freedom of being vulnerable on social media, how a casual idea turned into a full-blown run club and community, the reality of brand events behind the polished photos, and why the friendships you build along the way might just be the most important part of it all.

This is an episode about connection over curation, the kind of honesty that doesn't always make it into a caption, and the reminder that community, not content, is what actually keeps you going.

If you've ever wondered what it's really like behind the scenes of building an online community, or how to stay true to yourself while being a creator , this episode is for you.

Expect real stories, a few laughs, and a lot of heart.

From Trend-Chasing to Finding Your Voice: A Real Talk on Content Creation

In this candid, unfiltered conversation, Roxanne chats with content creator and model Porscha Sipos to chat about what it actually takes to build a career online, past the highlight reels and growth hacks.

We dig into the pressure to jump on every trend, the awkward growing pains of evolving your content (and your audience along with it), and the constant tug-of-war between what performs and what feels true to who you are.

This is an episode where two creators are honest about evolution, the fear of being left behind by the algorithm, and the messy process of figuring out who you're making content for (including yourself).

If you've ever wondered how to ride a trend without losing your identity, or how creators stay grounded while the platforms keep shifting under their feet, this episode is for you.

Expect real stories, a few hard truths, and a reminder that authenticity isn't a brand strategy - it's a practice.

Episode 111 - The Lessons 12 Months Taught Me

Hi my loves, I'm back! And honestly? I have so much to share with you.

After a short break, I've had the space to reflect, reset, and get really clear on some things that I think so many of us quietly wrestle with. In this episode I'm sharing the biggest lessons from the past year... the ones that shifted how I see myself, how I show up, and what I'm no longer willing to compromise on.

We're talking about boundaries, letting go of success that doesn't actually feel good, and the beautiful, sometimes uncomfortable work of getting back to your true self and your core values.

This is one of my more personal episodes yet, and I cannot wait to sit down with you for it.

✨ What we're covering:

- Setting boundaries that actually stick

- Redefining success on your own terms

- Knowing your core values and letting them lead

- What it means to show up as your most authentic self

Grab a coffee, get cosy, and let's get into it. 🤍
