In this raw and real episode, I’m sharing the full story of how I went from crying before work at my media job… to running a 6-figure social media and brand coaching business that lights me up.
From starting an online Hilary Duff fan club at 14 (yes, really!) to self-teaching my way through blogging, brand collaborations, and eventually launching my own business—this is the behind-the-scenes look at what it really took to build a business that supports both my lifestyle and my mission.
I talk about taking the big leap into self-employment, the mental health struggles, the mum-life juggle, the overwhelm, and how all of it has shaped my approach to social media, branding, and now my new course: Socially Savvy—designed to help other women confidently step into the world of social media management.
