It’s the last Friday of the month, so you know what that means - a new WWYBD?! episode, where we answer listener submitted questions. Listeners can submit questions any time via our website, and then we pull questions to fit a specific theme. The girls give a proper catch up. Allison shares surprising (or is it not surprising at all?) updates about her extended time in Colombia! Ceara is planning her upcoming trip to New York for a fun wedding-related partnership.  
 Questions Answered:Tips on how to stop having a victim mentality?I hate my job and want to move to Hawaii. None of my friends will move with me. Is it too risky to move alone? I think it’s badass.I just found out one of my best friends from uni has moved to a new country without telling me - I know we drifted apart after uni, but I would have liked to say goodbye... My fiancé’s friend group has been leaving us off invites to events the last few months. I woke up this morning, saw all their stories, started crying about it and I feel like such a loser. It just hurts to feel like this and be in a literal group chat with them when they’re super mean. What should I do?

WWYBD?! Tough Love On Victim Mentality, Relocating Across The World and Growing Apart From Friends

Julia Broome is a 28-year-old influencer on the rise. However, she wouldn’t describe herself that way - she would say she is an educator, which is true, but we’re obsessed with her personally and so is everyone else because she’s such a delight!  Born and raised in California, Julia has been around the industry her whole life. Her first internship was with a wellness influencer and it was incredibly impactful to launching her career. Today, Julia does social media management, brand building, consultations, website design, SEO strategy, assists clients with product launches, brand deals, partnerships and more.  In this episode, Julia shares insights on building an online presence, tips for someone looking to hire a social media manager and how to become a social media manager yourself. She even has two courses through her SOSH School, which are designed to help with that step by step! We wrap up with candid conversations about the pros and cons of social media accessibility, self-care, keeping up with crazy schedules, grounding techniques and why it’s so important to support your small business and creative friends.
