Memorable Quotes:

"If you're shooting content on your own, we don't have 3 and 4 and 8 and 10 hours to shoot content at once. If you don't have a plan of what you're shooting, you're going to waste a lot of time!"

"As long as you're posting consistently, the algorithm will love you & your audience will expect that content from you on those days..."

"Just keep going. I know it can get challenging when life happens, or you feel like you're not growing fast enough, or you see this blogger over here & she's getting all this engagement & working with brands you want to work with. Just keep going. I believe the universe will reward that consistency & the willingness to grow."
