This coach gave me the biggest ICK - but it was a blessing ✨😅

Hey Reader! I don't think I've ever told this story about an experience I had with a coach a few years ago, but it's unknowingly shaped me to be who I am in some ways 😅. So I've been creating content and absorbing as much info as my human brain possibly can for years. Like I started my blog in 2014 and my insta in 2020 so I've been around the block lol. At the start of my journey, I was focused on blogging and learning everything I could about how to set up, maintain, and monetize a travel...

Hey Reader! First of all, I'm well aware that it's only Thursday, but I have a REASON for breaking my "Friday newsletter" rule okay? 😅 A couple of weeks ago I shared a form with you and on my Insta stories inviting small creators to share their recent wins in an attempt to show everyone just how MUCH small creators are capable of, and that growth isn't everything. And boy oh boy did y'all DELIVER 😍🎉 I talk to fellow small creators literally every day and there's so much self-doubt going on...

Hey Reader! Long time no chat! I spent last week in the BEAUTIFUL city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, and I thought I'd share a lil recap and roundup of my experience and recommendations! Ngl though, my biggest recommendation is to just GO. Halifax surprised me, and I think it's a Canadian city everyone should have on their bucket list! Now it's time to tap into my Type A, virgo brain and give ya the details you've come here for hehe 😜 My accommodation: This trip was very much last minute (a few...

Hey Reader! If you’ve been around the creator-verse for a while, you’ve probably asked yourself “should I be posting this on my feed or is it only appropriate for my story?” at some point. Right? Because same lol. Generally speaking, the advice across the board has always been: in-feed posts are for the niched, refined content and stories are for everything else. While I agree that the more niched content does well in-feed and that being chaotic on stories feels more “safe”, I’d be willing to...

Hey Reader! We're not all full-time travellers here, so let me know if this rings a bell: You maybe take a few trips a year as a travel content creator, and your travel content typically lasts you a few weeks before you fall into that "Uh okay I'm all outta things to say about this trip" content drought. Sound familiar? 😅 I see you, I feel you LOL but there are actually a ton of ways you can remain consistent and inspired when you're in-between trips as a content creator. First things first:...

Hey Reader! If you're familiar with Love Island (I beg of you to watch it, it's reality tv royalty), then you'll have heard the term "all of my eggs in one basket" MANY times throughout the series, right? Stay with me here! 😂 Many an Islander have used that expression to mean that they either are or are not putting all of their energy into one relationship in the Villa, which obviously causes tons of drama and is the major reason the show is so successful. For the purpose of this explanation,...

Hey Reader! I was having a chat with a friend of mine the other day about how they felt jaded and hopeless in their creator journey. I did my best to hype them up and offer some advice, one suggestion being to take this as an opportunity to change up their content subject matter and process to find what brings them joy, and it got me thinking about what "ah hah" moments led me to recently pivoting my content. Alaska's beauty took me tf OUT but that's for another time...hehe If you're new...
