    The Truth About Going Viral, Social Anxiety & Full Time Content Creation ft. Lauren Jacques

    We all think everyone else has got it together at events. Lauren Jacques has 150k followers and was hiding in a toilet cubicle at the Dyson Christmas party. You're not alone. This week Cara and Bronagh are joined by content creator Lauren Jacques — the woman behind Styled by Mrs J, who went from 15 years in corporate to full time influencer and has absolutely no regrets. Lauren opens up about the reality of going viral and why it's actually the worst thing that can happen to your page, why building a genuine community matters so much more than chasing follower numbers, and the mental load of working from 6 am to midnight whilst everyone assumes you're just taking nice pictures.  There's also the most brilliantly honest conversation about social anxiety at events, why none of us are as confident as we look, and a wedding day story involving a three year old, a glass of orange juice and a silk dress that we will not be forgetting in a hurry. Why going viral is actually bad for your page — and what really builds a loyal audienceThe real hours behind full time content creation — and why the pressure never switches offSocial anxiety at events — hiding in toilets, being blanked and why showing up anyway is always worth itLauren's five beauty bag essentials — Estée Lauder Double Wear, hourglass concealer, the Zip device and moreThe Mulberry bag her husband saved up to buy her and the wedding dress story nobody saw coming Follow Lauren: @styledby_mrsj on Instagram @styledby_mrsj on TikTok Instagram: @schoolrunwaypod Leave us a voice note: https://sayhi.chat/oeks4 Don't forget to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts & Spotify! x Hosted on Acast.

    Manifesting Your Dream Job & Why We're All Faking Confidence at Events ft. Olivia Power

    Bronagh approached a stranger at a PR event like a long lost friend. That stranger is now on the podcast. This is how we grow. This week Cara and Bronagh are joined by content creator Olivia Power — the woman Bronagh famously greeted at a Marks and Spencer's event as if she'd known her for years, despite having never actually met. It turns out they have mutual friends, grew up minutes away from Cara, and are basically the same person.  Olivia opens up about how a video of her husband collecting rubbish on a plane went viral overnight, accidentally launching her content career.  How Olivia went viral overnight and turned it into a full time career — the accidental content creator storyThe mental load of being a content creator — why the pressure to post never really switches offTurning up to events alone and why it's always worth it even when it's terrifyingOlivia's five beauty bag essentials — fake tan, Nars concealer, rare beauty brow gel and moreThe one wardrobe item she'll never part with — and why a pair of black Zara trousers deserve their own award Follow Olivia: @oliviaecpower and @lifewiththemancs on TikTok and Instagram Instagram: @schoolrunwaypod Leave us a voice note: https://sayhi.chat/oeks4 Don't forget to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts & Spotify! x Hosted on Acast.

    Building a Authentic Personal Style That Lasts

    Cara and Bronagh are back from their Easter holidays. Cara survived Portugal on a £25 Easyjet flight.

    Puppies, Pokémon & the World Book Day Panic

    We're recapping a big couple of weeks on the School Runway.

    Tigers, Ski Runs & a Beer at the Top of a Mountain

    This week: Cara conquered a family pilgrimage to northern India (tigers included), and Bronagh conquered her first ski slope. Cara and Bronagh are back with the kind of holiday debrief only they could deliver. Cara returned from a family pilgrimage to northern India — tigers, Taj Mahal, custom moonstone rings and all — while Bronagh survived (barely) her first ever family ski trip, complete with a chairlift meltdown and a very dignified crawl to the après-ski bar.  They also tackle your listener questions on how to style a white vest top for day-to-evening drinks, what to wear to a three-day UK wedding, and the impossible art of wardrobe organisation (spoiler: neither of them has cracked it).  Plus, a new puppy is incoming and leopard print accessories are involved.
