If you’re going through a rough patch in your business, this one’s for you. It’s not all wins and highlight reels, this is the real stuff.

  • The Morning Show! (#71)

    In this episode of Self Maid, I break down how a simple TikTok landed me a spot on The Morning Show with Larry and Kylie.

    I take you behind the scenes of flying to Sydney, walking into the Channel 7 studios, and what it was like sitting on national TV. But more importantly, I dive into how it happened — through consistent organic content, finding my voice online, and leaning into my own style on TikTok.

    If you’ve ever doubted whether posting content could actually lead to real opportunities, this episode is proof it can. Your next big break might just be one post away.
