Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here in sunny Florida.
The option between New York and Florida was like 100% Florida in December.
I mean, it should take an hour and 15. No way. No way. No way.
Especially this time of year.
I think it took me two hours and 15 minutes at the holidays to get from my house into the city. Correct.
I was like, why wouldn't you just fly into LaGuardia or JFK from here?
I love what I do. I'm an influencer. It's like, so I'm working while I'm down here. You know, this is still a work week, but I can work from anywhere. So I just figured I'd take the last two weeks of the year and work from here because it's freezing up north right now. This time last year was super warm and now I'm just like frigid. So I'm happy to be here. Yeah.
I just thought I wanted to do it. And I was having kind of a quarter life crisis. I was in my late 20s and then COVID hit and I turned 30 in the middle of a pandemic and I was unemployed. And I think most people would have just been like, all right, I will restart, get a new job. And I was like, instead of getting a normal job, I am going to start a blog.
So my millennial ass started a WordPress when everybody was getting on TikTok at the time. Cause you know, 2020 during the pandemic is what we do. Exactly. So I just refuse to adopt new technology. This is why I belong like in Florida. I just want to like live here and be like, Yeah, but like very, very, I'm so bad with technology for how old I am.
People are like, how do you not know how to do this? Like, I don't. And so I was like, I'll start a WordPress. I'll start an Instagram. And I tried to do home decor at first and it didn't really work out. And then I switched to fashion. And I actually did Instagram for two years before I made a TikTok very unsuccessfully. And then I created a TikTok that didn't go well for a while.
And I just decided to pivot. Instead of doing fashion content, I was like, let me upload a video talking about dating and relationships, and it went viral, and I was like, oh, this is what I should be doing. So yeah. You're our competition.
I dated a lot of men in my 20s, and I was always looking for my husband. I think a lot of women in their early 20s just want to be single for a while and have fun and date casually. And that was just never me. I would have been fine meeting my husband freshman year of college.
Like us. Like me. Yeah. I mean, I was like always just looking for my husband. And I think as a result, I just ended up getting into a lot of interesting situations with men that I probably shouldn't have been dating very long term. And I had shit to say, quite frankly, about it. And I was like, this is a topic that I can expound upon.
Because I think especially for women in their 20s in a major city, dating is just such a slog. Because it just takes such a toll on your self-confidence and just kind of your emotions. And I don't think it's quite the same for straight men anymore.
And I think that's just social conditioning and what women are taught, that our value lies, and especially us as millennials, our value lies in who wants us, right? And my husband was single for four and a half years before we met. He was dating, but he didn't get into any serious relationships. And I was like... did you go to therapy because you were single for four and a half years?
No, men don't think that way. They don't think that way. He's like, my mom started to get a little antsy, you know, but he was like, I just figured when I met the right person, I would settle down. And so I just thought there was something to say there. And I really try to approach my content from an empowerment perspective for women. And look, my my advice is for men, too.
I have a small percentage of male followers who at the end of the day,
How did you meet your husband? I met my husband on Bumble. So there's no story there. It wasn't a meet cute. It wasn't anything. It was very simple. We were a dating app match. And to your question, how you asked about, do you think we're kind of spoiled for choice? I think there's two things to my opinion is why millennials are getting married later and later.
First of all, it's just expensive to start your life, honestly. And so I feel like a lot of millennials... are delaying marriage and kids and a family because they're really trying to get their careers in line first, especially men. I do sympathize with men, despite the fact that I trash a lot of douchey men on my content.
I sympathize with men in the sense that I feel like a lot of men feel the need to be in a financially stable provider.
