    Can You Build a Personal Brand Without Oversharing?

    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 It Really Takes to Grow as a Creator in Today’s Climate, with Taylor McPherson

    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.

    Building a Profitable Brand While Raising Kids (Without Burning Out), with Katie Breard

    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.
