Your girl hit a milestone today!✨️

I've been trying to grow my tiktok account for over a year now! It's really not easy. Everyone said be yourself, be original and it literally was not working for such a long time.

I have been experiencing a tonne of videos being wrongfully reported and taken down for community guidelines but every time I'd report and appeal it was ignored.

It's really disheartening and unmotivating when that happens! Everything online suggests accepting defeat and deleting the video so your account takes the warnings off. And yesterday I got so fed up I just opened a new account instead!

Well after a well needed boogie last night, I was woke up this morning and the video was accepted as a mistaken report and now had blown up!

To me who has never got 10k views on a video this is absolutely huge. The most I've ever got is like 8k views on a tiktok and now it's on over 200k.

So advice to take from today, just keep at it! And like a wise friend of mine said last night "post what you want not what you think other people want" that was the advice I needed and anyone else who is feeling how I do!!

Even if that was tiktoks way of saying sorry, I don't care😅 im taking the win 🤭 whoop whoop go me 🙏🏻

Sunshine is coming! 🌞 Hey guys 👋 thought I'd give you an update!

I've got alot of filming done so far. I've had to take life day by day, so in January I had to put things on hold until I was able to deal with a personal situation and I finally feel ready to pick back up where I left off.

Having breaks between is tough. I had this huge burst of ambition and motivation and then life just gets up and slaps dramatic adult life problems at you. So I had to take some time to figure that out. Meaning that I lost all my "get up and go" attitude.

In the beauty of all of this I did learn that I love a bit of painting. Really quietens the mind and helps me slow down my obsessive self deprecating thinking!

February arrived, my boyfriends shows are busy again, and I want to be there and support him as much as possible. I tried to take some time off in January so I could film my podcast however I had to spend most of that time dealing with something and having a medical procedure, recovering and it's really frustrating because I now am not in the position to take days off to film.

It is tough, I wanted to bulk film and then work on the podcast outside of my working hours, outside of Alexs shows, but now I've got to rethink, regroup and decide otherwise. I need my job though, girls got to pay her rent😅

I will be filming a few solo episodes too, to bring everyone up to date of what's been going on since May. I will go into more depth of my life dramas since I may aswell be the star of eastenders, because my life is truly just as dramatic 🤣

In the mean time, please comment below what topics you'd love to get my outlook on, what are unspoken subjects that you feel like I should shine some light on. 😇

FILMING 🎥 IN 🎥 PROGRESS 🎥
I thought I would share some of my journey since I began filming to be totally transparent about the challenges I have come across, hopefully to make anyone else in my position feel comfort and a sense of normality.

Firstly I'm bulk filming to ease the pressure off of my weekly episodes, my weekly routine and so I can focus on editing and getting back into work.

Truthfully I am in a fortunate position.

First day of filming I had about 3 guests reschedule dates, which is super normal, but at this time I had a studio booked, so for me personally I had to adapt to my budget and honestly I just threw out one of my sofas to make space for my podcast in my flat, this cut down the costs of £65 a day for a studio hire.

On one of the studio days I had booked, my first guest was so patient with me. I'm learning and the camera had cut out, the mics both kept cutting out and as awful and humiliating as that was, I'm so lucky to have a partner who could quite literally SAVE MY ASS and brought over replace equipment and set it all up for me.

I don't want to waste anyone's time. I don't want to let any of my guests down, so it was really important to me to make sure I could have this "standard" to expect whilst filming. So when I have these issues I really beat myself up as I don't want to frustrate any of my guests!

I did all of the tests before I even began filming so I have multiple camera batteries, keep the laptop on charge whilst recording etc.

The episodes have been going so well, I've truly chosen such great guests who are open to discuss so much about their lives and I couldn't be more thankful.

I thought I had really mastered all this stuff by the 4th episode I filmed this evening, however after my guest had left I realised that I had a technical problem. One of the 2 mics were not recording. I could burst into tears. But the bright side is there is 2 mics plus a camera. With some magic on my editing I know I will not waste this episode, but I have most definitely learnt that I need someone in the room to keep an eye on the robots I'm relying on. Technology may seem straight forward but it can let you down sometimes
