Silly Little Social

In this empowering and eye-opening episode, I chat with Certified Financial Planner® Jake Jaegle about one of the most important (but least talked about) parts of content creation: money. We’re not just talking side hustles and affiliate links; we’re digging into emergency funds, retirement accounts, estate planning, tax strategy, and how creators can build real wealth from their digital work. Jake brings nearly two decades of experience in financial services and shares both personal and professional insight into what it actually takes to create financial security as a modern content creator.

What if your creative journey began at 11 years old with an AOL screen name and a self-published magazine? In this episode, I sit down with bestselling author and speaker Amber Rae to talk about how she went from early internet girlie to building a thriving platform rooted in truth, creativity, and personal evolution. We chat about growing an authentic audience, channeling life’s misadventures into content, and finding your voice again after becoming a mom. Amber also shares what inspired her upcoming memoir Loveable—and why creativity might be the most healing act of all.

What if posting jokes online could actually pay your bills? In this episode, I welcome Brittany Paige, a Florida-based mom and content creator who grew a million-follower Instagram account without overthinking a single post. We talk about how she went from making TikToks for fun during the pandemic to landing consistent payouts through Instagram’s bonus program, why she still keeps her day job, and how she’s navigating motherhood while staying true to her content style.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really looks like to make money through short-form content, or if you’re stuck waiting for a “perfect strategy” before posting, this one’s for you.

What if the most authentic thing you can do… is go quiet? In this personal solo episode, I share a behind-the-scenes reflection on what it really means to “show up” online—especially when you’re not feeling inspired, when you’re going through hard things, or when your values feel misaligned with the content treadmill. As a social media strategist, I’ve built my business around encouraging creators to be real—but lately, I’ve had to redefine what “real” even means. This episode is your permission slip to honor your humanity in a digital world that demands more, more, more.

What do dating advice, glitter makeup, and a viral Pride post have in common? Taylor McPherson. In this episode, I chat with Taylor—aka @sparklequeenla—about her wild ride as a content creator, business owner, and online personality. We talk about the evolution of her brand from a biodegradable glitter bar at Coachella to hosting singles events in LA and going viral on TikTok for her bold (and sometimes controversial) takes on love and life. Taylor gets honest about cancel culture, navigating internet hate, and how she’s built a personal brand that’s both sparkly and strategic.

Is TikTok launching a second app in the U.S.? In this solo episode, I break down the recent report from The Information that claims a new TikTok-owned app is set to drop as early as September. We don’t have a ton of details yet, but I’m sharing what we do know, what creators should watch for, and how this could impact your content strategy. Is this just another platform to juggle—or a new growth opportunity if you get in early? Let’s talk about it.

I sat down with my longtime friend (and former client!) Katie Breard to talk about something I know so many of us are navigating—how to show up online, build a business, and stay grounded in the chaos of motherhood. Katie is a certified fitness and nutrition coach who has grown a six-figure coaching business and deeply engaged following without ever going viral. She’s done it through consistency, honesty, and storytelling that actually connects.

In this episode, we talk about her wild career pivot after two high-risk pregnancies, how she built a business that works for her life, and the behind-the-scenes of monetizing as a wellness creator. Whether you’re building a personal brand or just tired of trying to “crack the code,” Katie’s story is a reminder that the slow build is still powerful—and that real connection beats fake growth every time.

What would you do if a brand offered you an all-expenses-paid trip for your whole family—but something about it felt… off? In this episode, I sit down with food and family content creator Chantal Monfort to talk about a big brand opportunity that left her questioning what’s legit and what’s a red flag in the creator space.

We also dive into her journey from documenting her long-distance love story to building a 27K+ following as a full-time content creator. From freezer-friendly mom hacks to how she hit consistent $5K months, Chantal keeps it real about UGC, income streams, and the mindset shift that helped her stay grounded through the highs and lows of creator life.

Threads exploded onto the scene with hype—but is it actually useful for content creators? In this solo episode, I’m breaking down my current thoughts on Instagram’s text-based platform, why I personally stepped away from it, and the surprising way some creators are now using Threads to test content ideas without the pressure of video. Spoiler: it’s a lot more strategic than you might think.

We’ll talk about what makes Threads different from platforms like Instagram and TikTok, why multiple daily posts are actually encouraged, and how you can use it as a low-effort testing ground for hooks, content pillars, and audience engagement. Whether you’re a Threads loyalist or completely ghosted it, this episode will help you decide how (or if) it fits into your strategy in 2025.
