Thanks for having me. I'm so happy to be here.
I'm happy to have you. We go way back. We really do.
What challenges do stay-at-home dads and working moms face?
Since yesterday. Yeah, you know I'm obsessed with you.
Same. Likewise. I actually want to tell you, the first time I ever saw your stuff, it was actually the Stevie vlogs. Okay, yeah. The OGs.
Which are all gone now. Yeah. Fuck the haters.
Yeah.
They're gone now, relax.
The kids are safe.
Yeah, everyone calm down. Chill, the kids are safe.
How does mom-shaming manifest in social media?
That was the first time I ever saw you on my For You page.
Yeah.
But then I started watching your Day in the Life, like, vlogs.
Yeah.
I'm eating them up. Really? I love your content.
You are so supportive, because every time I see, like, your comments, I'm kind of like, oh my god, Drew likes my shit. it's crazy i love i love the little uh your your vlogs and how they like they're very like uh clean and organized and love i'm a virgo so oh my god thanks well i try to show more realistic stuff when i can but behind the scenes it's it's literally chaos all the time like scotty can attest my house is just full of kids and but it's all happy like yeah there will be a time where i'll be quiet and clean but right now it's not and so i'm soaking it in my kids are whack jobs but i love them
I'm so curious. Well, I know your lore, but just for those that don't know your lore, I'm sure they would want to know how you got into content creation. I know it's been a journey for you.
Yeah, so I would say I really started probably about eight years ago. I was in college. I knew I wanted to go to nursing school.
What are the gender double standards in parenting?
And I content creation was kind of for me was more so on YouTube.
Yeah.
But Instagram was obviously a thing. This is like Tumblr days. And I love certain content creators. But how I I first started gaining traction was sharing my nursing school journey, which was really random. I didn't really expect it to go that way. And also medical influencing was not what it is now. like it wasn't it wasn't really figs wasn't really big back then yeah it wasn't really common for people in the medical field to share their life on social media because there is a a certain barrier that has to be respected because of patient privacy and certain things totally So I kind of just shared my journey. And then my nursing uniforms were Cherokee. And they had noticed me and sent me a DM. And they were like, hey, can we send you free scrubs in exchange for photos?
And I was like, so poor. And I said, fuck yeah.
How can content creators maintain authenticity online?
So I would get scrubs, post photos. And then I kind of started getting traction. And then they told me, I think I had like 300 Instagram followers, but a private account. Like, hey, you have to make your profile public. And I was like, oh, I don't know about that. yeah because i went to a private nursing school and so they're super strict and then i did it and it kind of just slowly grew from there and i honestly i for years i only shared nursing stuff yeah a little bit of motherhood but not really and i feel like i thought that's only why people followed me and liked my stuff totally so i was mostly focusing on nursing and then i kind of started dabbling into things that brought me joy which is fashion, skincare, beauty, and that stuff started doing better.
And I was like, okay, maybe people will like me just for me. And so I kind of struggled with balancing both. But I mean, for years, probably like a solid six years, it was mostly just nursing.
