Want to go full-time as a creator but don’t know where to start? Today we’re unpacking the exact system I would use if I had 0 followers & wanted to become a full-time influencer/content creator by the end of 2025!
We’re getting ✨ rigid ✨ about building a super simple business & content strategy you can use every single week — to simplify your workflow, create a solid base, and build from there.
After the content workshop, we’re having a little coffee chat about my own experience doing this, why it’s harder than you think to find your “thing” online, and wrapping it all up with an “after work social” 💅🏻 with updates on the podcast, Busy Blooming & more!
