But How Do I Go Viral on Instagram?!
I’ve been thinking a lot about the phrase “going viral” lately for a few reasons (aside from the fact that I’ve had Covid all last week – slightly different kinda viral), but the main one is that I think our goals have changed with social media. “Going viral” is now […]
What Are Pod Groups on Instagram?
If you are a creator, brand, or small business owner, there’s a good chance you’ve heard the term “pod group” before (they’re sometimes referred to as “Engagement Pods” as well). I was actually surprised at how many people reached out last week wanting to learn more about them, so here’s […]
Cooking Online: Then VS Now
As I was coming up with my next little “sketch” for TikTok, I was watching a “cooking video” on Instagram and felt like I may or may not have a seizure. Everything moves so fast, no wonder these kids go viral. You quite literally have to watch 3-4 times just […]
How to Fight Imposter Syndrome
I love working for myself, don’t get me wrong, but there are times when I just feel like someone threw me into a steaming pile of shit with no shovel. And even if I had a shovel, would that really solve my problems? I’m in a massive pile of shit […]

As we step into 2022 (which is absolutely BANANA LAND), I had to drop in and share my feelings on social media. I do this almost every year and one thing remains the same: it’s always changing. See what I did there?? Word play is fun. If you’re a small […]
That Time I Worked for Pfizer (and Started This Blog)
Many people ask me how I started this blog and why, and I don’t think I’ve ever actually discussed it. If I did, I sure as shit don’t remember, so might as well talk about it now while it’s top of mind. Lest I forget again in a few minutes. […]
Leaving @skinnypignyc and Being @darapollak
This is one of those moments that feels very self-indulgent and dramatic, but then I stop and think: aren’t all bloggers a little self-indulgent and dramatic? I have been toying with the idea of changing my handle to just my name for literally over a year now, and there’s a […]
