My Viral Moment

In this episode, I share how I gained my first 10,000 followers on Instagram, and what actually made it stick. I talk about my first “viral” moment, what I learned from Chris Do about creating content that matters, and why visibility alone isn’t enough. The real growth came from building trust, showing up consistently, and creating value people could feel. Virality might get their attention, but it’s consistency that keeps it.
