Todays episode is one of my favorite episodes. Many people know Tefi as HelloTefi on TikTok. I have known her since I was 15 and the stories I have with her are both hilarious and forever ingrained in my memory. If you follow Tefi than you know her for her pop culture savyness, her funny remarks about everything, her beautiful long hair and infectious personality. I have known her as the kind, loving, and empathetic friend. She always puts people first. She is the definition of a true friend. Someone who takes time out of her day to not only think of others but feel for others. When I call her, she always answers, when I go to NYC she not only makes me stay with her, but checks up on me about 20 times a day just to make sure I haven’t gotten lost in the subway or something. I’m so happy to have her on the podcast. I truly believe she is a great example of how someone can remain authentic in the spotlight. 

In this episode we talk about a variety of things such as: moving from Miami to New York, old jobs, getting her own YouTube show, losing it all to COVID, and then growing to 100k followers on TikTok in just 4 weeks! How does one do that you ask? Authenticity. Embracing Failure. Being Brave. Never giving up. And always showing up with love.

Here’s a glimpse of her bio: Tefi Pessoa is a pop culture fanatic born and raised in Miami, FL. Unbelievable to the naked eye, she is actually 31 years old (wow). She currently lives in Brooklyn, NY and she is probably making a TikTok right now as you read this. Can’t wait for you all to listen to this episode :) !
